Decline Of The I - Wilhelm
Post-black metal
Feb 19
There it is! Discovering these kinds of gems is exactly why I returned to Metal Storm a few months ago.
Wilhelm by Decline Of The I is an intense, shape-shifting beast – blending black metal’s rawness with post-metal twists, close-to avant-garde undertones, and eerie atmospheres – gradually pulling you deeper and deeper into a dark, atmospheric realm. Haunting, aggressive, and mesmerizing in equal measure, it’s a record that probably demands your attention. Like right now.
Be sure to check out musclassia’s review for a deeper dive into this dark masterpiece.
