Un serpent qui se mord la queue, symbole de la vie qui retourne à la mort, et au centre, ce cercle comprenant des motifs triangulaires colorés...
Wolvennest, formation belge rassemblant des pointures du black metal, lance sa carrière avec ce premier album, VOID. Un peu à la manière de l'iconographie de la fête des morts, WLVNNST habille la Mort de ses plus beaux habits. Elle est morbide avec la narration de Sharon Shazzula faisant apparaître les démons ("Void"), attrayante, psychédélique... Jordan Vauvert
Man, what a unique death metal experience. There is something old school and familiar about this album but the performance is done in a way I’ve never heard before. If you’re looking for something different, you’ve definitely found it here. 9/10 RJ
Listening to this on shrooms was haunting, which made it into a serious trip! Which was a mistake I was not prepared for. I do have something to say about it though on why I think it such. I have personally experienced several tipi ceremonies. One would stay up through the night, consuming peyote, doing in some sense a molting process and does so by connecting you to the spirit world.
This album does this, but different - I say it transcends that experience, and does it well... On shrooms.

Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
