A storm again!
You played the ocarina again,
didn't you?!"
We’ve been dreaming for far too long, leaving us vulnerable and unprepared. It is time to wake up and get a move on - and what better way to do so than with Corrupted Temple of Moss’s ...Ancient Magicks Uttered by the Winds and Streams?
From the get-go, this short EP hits us with an intrusive attitude. There’s a panic in the dungeon and amidst the hassle we’re accompanied by an alarming waltz. Distorted synths unleash high-energy melodies, only taking down a notch halfway through for us listeners to catch up again.
What’s fascinating about this release is the way it plays out its dynamics. Starting off quite alarming, then falsely suggesting a moment of serenity, hitting full-speed again, including some unexpected but very well-fitting black metal vocals and concluding - somehow - by tumbling down a more familiar path.
I'm curious to find out what the future has in store for us. Corrupted Temple of Moss seems to have quite a wild character that I'd love to hear more of. Until then I'll just keep hitting repeat.
TL;DR: A solid 11-minute ride, because of course it is.
