It’s been a while since we had any black metal within these pages, so it’s an absolute joy to wallow in the “evil” darkness with Texan band Votan. “Trapped in this rotted place so long that I am reborn It's a place where souls come to rest and then return from the lamented,” they explain in the song “Eye of the Wasteland,” which shines a light on where they’re coming from. Not that you can necessarily make out the lyrics when listening to the rapid-fire riffs, grunts and shrieks. But it doesn’t matter; the intensity and dark vibe is key.
