“The past is dashed upon the floor; I will not fight their war no more”
Atmospheric black metal calls from the abyss: Oskoreien's self-titled debut blends grandiose Viking-era sweeps, harsh vocals, and gentle acoustic guitars — with VICE declaring Neige of Alcest should be taking notes from this lone California dreamer. Pushing deeper into darkness, Oskoreien's All Too Human delivers unrelenting waves of guitars and achingly beautiful melodies in a free will meditation on the tragic Charles Whitman story. Meanwhile, Kill The Reverie's Rest for Reverence offers a narrative plea to trauma survivors: you cannot fight a war to acquiesce for peace.
