My favourite Polish black metal debut of 2014. Cold and grim but also melodic. Lets translate it:

Severity - In Madness

01. In Perdition
03. Ghost of the depths part 2 (literally it means 'Depths, Ghost, part 2')
04. In Madness
05. Phantasmagories
08. Entropy

Are there really that many? Isn't this melodic black anyway?

Few Not melodic enough IMO. But hm... could be tagged as melodic also, honestly I don't care that much.

Glad to see this has been accepted into the pantheon. I'm too lazy to make a new review right now after spending so much time on writing a new one for Aspherium. So, just gonna put this here.

Ge me Odraza or Eerie at any time instead. I prefer my native BM to be more modern in sound.

Also, the outro ("Entropia") is out of place imo.

These bands are in the vein of Plaga/Furia etc. Now we have so many black metal bands and Srogość is at least something different/original. This is a good post for LeKiwi because he was asking for more Polish black metal debuts from 2014

Whoa, do you really hear some Plaga influences in those acts?! Weird shit

I personally don't hear any originality in this whatsoever.

If not Plaga then Mgła We have many similar black metal bands. Srogość is trying to do something more melodic. Sure, it is not a game changer but something different if you compare it to other Polish bands from the 'third wave'. Or maybe I just prefer more melodic black metal

Meloblack is not my cup of tea so yeah that must be it =P

Nice album indeed, some kind new wave of old school melo BM
