black metal
Causa Modicum Temporis Spatium is an album by Portuguese atmospheric black metal act Benthik Zone, released on January 13. Thirty nine minutes long, the album has only two exceedingly marvelous, contiguous and extensive atmospheric tracks: †êmþðrï§ and §þå†ïµm. An interesting experiment in sound, in this work, Benthik Zone wisely expands the sinister frontiers of the genre, allowing the listener to dive deeply into a macabre dimension of void, anguish, apprehension and vulnerability, as a timeless conflagration of personal doom captures entirely each and every possible molecule of resistance. The complexity of the atmosphere is perfectly devised in the peripheral intonations of a nefarious morbidity, as the sound revolves around the darkness of a giant emptiness that circulates around a melancholic frightening whisper that grows gradually in the frail universe of the mind, and expands itself at large in the interior reflections of the listener.
Certainly, Causa Modicum Temporis Spatium is a work to be fully appreciated, as lives by the promise of its title, and aggregates to the genre a severity that dilapidates a formidable sonorous consistence to the music. With a serious harmonious conjuncture that expresses on the devices of its artistic vicinities the sincere labor of an artist fully compromised with a personal kind of authenticity, Benthik Zone not only expands the possibilities within the boundaries of the genre, but also establishes a new pattern of creativity for its multiple diagrams of sensitivity. Invariably, the profound and meticulous level of sophistication that this work presents to its audience reveals an impressive, whimsical and sensible depth of artistry, that impersonates in the style of the artist a new paradigm of introspective creation.
With greatly devised melodies, extremely lucid and majestically imperial guitar lines, and harmonies perfectly aligned with conspicuously sinister atmospheres, Causa Modicum Temporis Spatium establishes a new level of excellency for atmospheric black metal, where simply there are no flaws, and a pervasive kind of darkness elucidates a new form to seek despondency in the ruins of life.
