One of the best things about Black Metal is the break from an unnatural civilization to tell the truth of the underbelly of humanity. It’s extreme, and it’s refreshing. Suffering Souls, a musical experience by mastermind Tobias “Lord Esgaroth” Micko, is feisty and it punishes the classic morality of our world. If you want dark, mean and cinematic black metal, this is your guy.
An Iconic Taste Of Demise is the newest album, recorded in June 2023 at the legendary Hertz Studio (Behemoth, Vader) with Michiel van der Plicht (Pestilence) on drums. Lord Esgaroth has manifested a crisp, diabolic experience appealing to anyone who loves that extreme Black Metal sound from the early aughts. It’s a ten-track confirmation of his abilities as a composer, as he is the all; we’re talking vocals, songwriting, bass, orchestral arrangements and drum concepts.
This Symphonic Black Metal repertoire is scheduled to be released through Satanath and Fetzner Death Records on May 31st.
