Coming down from the rainswept heights of Bogotá, Colombia is Gruta, dispensing what the band refers to as Chaos Black, a twisted gnarled amalgamation of all black metal’s most vicious bits. Each track is a frightening blend of the 1st Wave’s punky freneticism, the 2nd waves haunting tremolo atmosphere, and all the melodic and mournful accents of DSBM and meloblack. Fiercely Anti-Fascist, It’s a blend that feels fresh and original amongst a sea of black metal acolytes, and Gruta’s stellar performances heigthen the experience to revelatory. Out now on Liminal Dread Productions.
