Released recently, on April 23, A Waning Silhouette is an album by Canadian black metal act Begotten. Almost thirty-four minutes long, the record has four tracks: Life Lost In Seclusion, A Waning Silhouette, Nostalgist and When Even The Sun Does Not Wish To Rise. A very dramatic sound with powerful and energetic – although exceedingly serene at the same time – guitar lines, A Waning Silhouette seems reminiscent of classic era Burzum, despite the fact that the group has a very strong sense of audacious and immaculate originality. 

A striking sound that surprises the listener from the beginning, Begotten’s music is strongly persistent, consistent and cohesive, with the darkness of its anguish emerging from the abysses of a despondent universe of sensibility and affliction, where pervasive harmonies collide with a lugubrious obliteration of existence. A very somber sound – strongly capable of igniting an evisceration of melancholy and rapture at the same time –, the style of Begotten is formidably simple, but competent, skilled and coherent. It is perfectly designed to reinvent the shadows of time at the gray desolated frontiers of its melodies, where the everlasting somnolence of the soul die properly, at the epicenter of an omniscient exposure of emptiness, delightfully trained to scape at the sight of a sonorous lapse of objectivity, that stays untouched by the innocent cosmogonies of a major sincerity.

With a somewhat marvelous degree of originality, that briefly, but successfully experiments melodic overtones with the grandiloquent sideline of clean vocals, the group solidly anticipates the elusive and oblique nature of their sound in a very familiar, but sensationally abrasive context; it is correct to affirm that A Waning Silhouette is, without a doubt, a major work of art. 

A monumental work that reevaluates the true qualities of black metal on its discreet aspects, being faithful at the same time to its most conspicuous, ambivalent and true premises, A Waning Silhouette is an album that keeps the originality of its passion intact while maintaining a high level of fidelity to the basic precepts of the genre. Without a doubt, this intense and pungent record will be a great surprise to the enthusiasts of the genre. It is very good to assert that black metal can never be exhausted of its creative and contemplative synergy if we have an impeccable act like Beggoten around.
