Puritanical perspectives notwithstanding, post-black metal is quite an interesting and intuitive amalgam. With post-rock/metal's emphasis placed on emotive and textured compositions allowing for the articulation of black metal's affinity for austerity or, rather, providing a stark and sanguine contrast, post-black metal affords the listener an emotional journey that is oftentimes more multifaceted than either of its components in their standalone states. Though exultation and melancholy are perhaps two sides of the same coin, one rarely existing without the other, how does one balance a coin in such a way that the observer can not distinguish one side from the other? While the answer exists, it seems to elude the Atlanta, Georgia-based one-man black metal act In Chasms Deep.

Wrote a review for this, but got stiff-armed by the waiting period for reviews. I enjoyed this album, mostly, but its compositions are quite sloppily structured. They write very passable post-rock and black metal sections, but struggle amalgamating the two in a way that feels organic. The whole album just feels like a push and pull between the two genres.

They're only long if you don't PM someone about them.
