Black to the Future: A Bleak King Cometh by Qasu | The Quietus
Even within a genre increasingly filled with aberrations, Qasu's debut represents an odd yet scintillating proposition
Wrote about Qasu's stunning debut, 'A Bleak King Cometh', for @thequietus.com.
Black metal as filtered through noise, industrial, psychedelia and whatever else they choose to throw at it. The record's out today via @phantomlimb.bsky.social.

A Bleak King Cometh by Qasu album cover. A monkey sat on top of a pyramid like set of rising steps, silhouetted against the sky as the sun is rising. The band's name in stylised script sits at the top of the border around the image.
'Like a molotov cocktail casually tossed into the stave church of black metal orthodoxy, the trio explode, expand and fragment their frost-patterned palette, to incorporate a delirious mix of influences.'
A Bleak King Cometh by Qasu is tQ's Album of the Week

PSALM024: Cantus Lapides, by Pram of Dogs
10 track album
ππ Cantus Lapides by Pram of Dogs ranges from bleak to beautiful, occasionally descending into darkness but always able to redress the balance. Its strange, jittery glitching appears like stargate broadcasts enshrouded in psychotropic fog. ππ
