Despite how this is framed in the opener, I really like Norway. I was just making a point how even in Norway, black metal is very mainstream and not what it once was. That was the point. Also the bottom is obvious an error.

"HOWLING WIND, THE Into The Cryosphere (Profound Lore) cd 13.98
Before even hearing a note, we were sold. You really can't argue with an album called Into The Cryosphere, not to mention the fact that this bears the stamp of the always amazing Profound Lore label, AND this duo features Ryan Lipynsky of doom lords Unearthly Trance and punkers Villains. The Howling Wind definitely writhe in some of the same blackened sludge as UT, but with an approach that is heavily indebted to the hateful black metal we can never get enough of, with a thrashiness that is hypnotic, relentless, and pretty much the kind of thing your mother wouldn't ever want you listening to. Their punked out approach snakes around the Cryosphere through all sorts of passages, taking you along for a super negative death trip reminiscent of Deathspell's more thugged out excursions on Kenose. The riffs are thick and burly, the drums heavy as fuck, and you will marvel over how appropriate a name like The Howling Wind is, as the whole album seems shrouded in an uncontrollable, icy wind. Not surprising then that the band would cook up song titles like "Teeth Of Frost", "Ice Cracking In The Abyss", and "A Dead Galaxy Mirrored In An Icy Mirage". Lipynsky certainly sounds like a man of conviction here, with his super tough, throatshredding vocals telling you how it's gonna be. Totally nihilistic and hateful with a sense of fuck all despair, it's also surprisingly catchy with riffs just won't let up, which will surely keep this one blasting out of our speakers for quite some time.

"Teeth of Frost"

"THE HOWLING WIND - Complete New Album, New MP3 Posted
Formed by Ryan Lipynsky (the artist formerly known as Killusion, also of UNEARTHLY TRANCE of course) after the demise of THRALLDOM (one of the most prominent and important U.S. black metal bands ever), and now in conspiracy with drummer Tim Call (ALDEBARAN), THE HOWLING WIND have completed work on their new album “Into The Cryosphere”.

Following the band’s relentless “Pestilence & Peril” debut, THE HOWLING WIND have created an even more relentless, vicious, colder, and overall all-encompassing album with “Into The Cryosphere”. This time though, THE HOWLING WIND will plunge the listener into the cold, desolate, and unholy wastelands of Antarctica, as said realm becomes the backdrop and central theme that envelopes the harsh black metal virulence of “Into The Cryosphere”.

Whereas a band like Immortal paint such a realm as Antarctica as a playful winter wonderland, THE HOWLING WIND’s sonic portrayal of Antarctica is a harsh and primal journey through the barren terrain of a mighty and barren kingdom of frozen landscapes and fields. A lifeless and desolate kingdom filtered through old-school, noisy, doom-filled black metal that takes cue from such legends as CELTIC FROST/HELLHAMMER, BATHORY, old-school DARKTHRONE, and AUTOPSY, while harboring a pedigree seeped within occult nature and lore. Overall, “Into The Cryosphere” is a depiction of the fall of humanity reflected through a sheet of ice.

To be released late April, tracklisting for “Into The Cryosphere” goes as follows:

1. The Seething Wrath Of A Frigid Soul
2. Teeth Of Frost
3. Obscured Pyramid
4. Ice Cracking In The Abyss
5. Will Is The Only Fire Under An Avalanche
6. Impossible Eternity
7. A Dead Galaxy Mirrored In An Ice Mirage"
