Passion. I suppose that's what it's all about with these one man black metal bands: pure, unadulterated, single-minded passion. Something about the isolation from the main networks of black metal and the larger society as a whole impacts the artistic vision and strength of these bands in simply magnificent ways. It's been 6 years since Elysian Blaze main man Mutatiis has dropped an album, but right away with his 2012 offering, he shows us he hasn't merely been twiddling his thumbs all that time. The result of the past decade's creative dedication has spawned Blood Geometry, an over two hour, double disc magnum opus of all the trademarks Mutatiis has become known for that also, indeed, takes such techniques to new heights.

Everything bleak and awful in the world beautifully compiled into more than two hours of torturous melancholy.

is that the second time you called them that unintentionally, or are you making light of the previous time?

I thought that it is an internal joke on MS already.

Haha, I couldn't even get through this. It's not bad at all -- in fact, it's pretty damn alright -- but in this amount of time I can listen to Rain Upon The Impure and Foulest Semen of a Sheltered Elite back to back and get like 5,000,000X more awesomeness out of them.

Its a bit of TRoB light - its better for your health

It is enjoyable though. And I would like to hear more stuff that has TRoB as influence.

The riff in the middle of Pyramid Of The Cold Son is pretty much extracted from Verdunkeln's Einst War Es Mal.... Unless it's some guitar tech sequence dating back to the renaissance.

I may not have the largest collection but I certainly have the absolute best

What is it with this album? It most certainly has something special about it that I can't put my finger on. For the things I can put my finger on though, the production effectively aids the music (one of the few times I can actually agree with this statement regarding extreme metal). The structure of each disc is just oustanding (ambient intro, 2 behemoths, ambient outro). Already listened to it twice, and will attempt to listen more.

I can't say that I've enjoyed much funeral doom in my metal years but this album seems to be an exception. Definitely one of the better doom albums I've heard.
