IV: Arrow in Heart

by Aosoth

supported by

mourner Somehow they managed to go even deeper into bleak atmospheres and hateful aggression. Their songwriting also evolved further and transports the emotions fittingly. Stellar release with very high production values. Get into the details 🖤

Alastor Blake Hypnotic, dark, disturbing, and one of the most malevolent black metal albums ever. Favorite track: IV-6. Ritual Marks Of Penitence.

Necrölf Bleak, thick sounding BM with both melodic and catchy parts! It feels so angry and desperate... kinda like me.
...wish I had a revolver so I could play Russian roulette Favorite track: IV-4. Under Nails & Fingertips.

about

Aosoth's fourth opus is a natural improvement over band's previews release, "III", which already was "a major step forward for Aosoth in creating their own distinct sound" (Sputnik Music). Commented by the band itself: "IV: Arrow In Heart holds yet a bigger spiritual value. We've spent such a huge amount of time on defining a darker identity, yet open to a wider range of influences. Those tracks still haunt us, as delivering them was a painful and excruciating experience, and left some of us even physically wounded... Which gives that album even more of a spiritual value, as it involved a form of sacrifice. This fourth full-length release is without a doubt a great step forward for us in term of music writing, and sound."

The album consists of 6 tracks and 56 minutes of music.

"Once again, Aosoth defy convention without bothering to publicize it. Their style is understated and focused, and it works." (Pitchfork)

"One of the best black metal albums of 2013." (About)

"IV: An Arrow In Heart represents their greatest leap to date." (Stereogum)

"Aosoth have put themselves in a position where making a classic next time around is just about the only way to surpass this level of achievement." (Exclaim!)
