Ippocalyptica
As much as I want to avoid references to The Ruins of Beverast, I simply cannot for obvious reasons, but what really matters is threefold: first, that Alkymist is darker and more aggressive than TRoB has been in years; second, it is great to draw inspiration from a GOAT-level band like TRoB; and third, Alkymist has a tremendously bright future in black metal as evidenced by the upward momentum in his relatively short career to date. I loved his 2019 EP, and cannot wait for the full-length!
