The Murky Black of Eternal Night is the second album by Dutch black metal project Pyriphlegethon, to be released in April 14, by Iron Bonehead Productions. With ten tracks – Curse Of The Old Coffin, Monument Of Death, Funeral Bells, The Serpent's Tongue, Summoning Ancient Evil, Return To The Tomb, The Murky Black Of Eternal Night, Cursed Blood, The Coldest Grave and Night On The Black Mountain – The Murky Black of Eternal Night is an awesome and very intriguing album, that brings back everything genuinely good the genre has to offer, with that real and extensively crude vibe of ancient raw black metal, completely embraced and sidelined by the perfections of tradition, but without sounding old, repetitive or monotonous.
Although the album is a little bit short, there is a strong sense of unity within the music. While you listen to The Murky Black of Eternal Night, you really feel the true, dark and captivating essence of real black metal, that captures the abhorrent and funereal nature of the genre, that a lot of raw black metal groups seems unable to reproduce with unwavering authenticity.
Throughout all of its length, you can really feel the work to be compromised with the purity of the genre. And while The Murky Black of Eternal Night cannot be essentially categorized as a masterpiece, the album does stand as a perfect and marvelous example of a contemporary raw black metal record. With its essence intact, and a voraciously infamous authenticity that really embodies the dark, sinister and dreadful spirit of the genre, no word or critical assignment could be strong enough to compromise or disintegrate the solid integrity of this work.
While this album inevitably steps into a lot of commonalities within the genre, it’s impossible not to assimilate or to recognize its indelible qualities. The Murky Black of Eternal Night, by Pyriphlegethon, came out to be a marvelous consonance of black metal essence, hostility, obscurity, mystery and sensibility. Rescuing the true spirit of the genre, this album is a sincere and honest tribute to all its formidable and genuine predecessors. While I reiterate the fact that the album does resent itself from a certain stream of ordinary complacencies, its overall sonorous abilities are simply unquestionable. The Murky Black of Eternal Night is an exceptionally good black metal album, with a genuine and insanely consistent colossal essence.
