I know something that y’all don’t know, but lucky for you it’s my job to let y’all know that ANTI-GOD HAND’s new album Blight Year, coming out on Aug. 25th via American Dreams, is unreal, and then some!!! I write this from a place of Black Joy that a Black Metal record can hit so hard it makes me smile. I’m so impressed with the emotional songwriting laid down to make this project a reality. I can’t front and I won’t front, there are many scathing moments in Blight Year but it’s the sonic spaces of vulnerability that really get me hyped. Actually, what makes ANTI-GOD HAND such a special project is their ability to balance the nocturnal and diurnal. This fact can be heard in the second song “Barge of Light,” because within it I feel the agony of the world and the beauty of a never-ending sunset. “Chaoscene Hell” is a Black Metal song that has so many layers of unhinged rage that with each listen you will experience a new audio sensation! ANTI-GOD HAND conjures up the kind of music that allows my imagination to be free from any negative self-doubt. The song “Hyperincursion of the Theocentre” will take you to places where the ancient exists next to everything modern. ANTI-GOD HAND is a wizard at creating Black Metal that is full of empathy while holding up a razor blade to our internal and external downpressors. Make sure you listen here:
