It took until the first time horns were used to fall in love with this album. Instant buy.
Favorite track: Leviathan.

White Ward continue to prove that they are one of the most forward-thinking bands in black metal, on top of being the greatest modern-day black metal act
Favorite track: False Light.

about
The ever-inventive Ukrainian Black Metal band WHITE WARD unleash their defining third full-length "False Light", a grand work of exploratory depth and a remarkable expansion upon all that made 2019's acclaimed "Love Exchange Failure" such a triumph.
Always surprising and never less than captivating, from a base of rhythmically creative, furiously melodic Black and Death Metal the band shape-shift through a vivid suite of songs-as-journeys: seamlessly utilising hues of brass-led darkjazz and stately post-rock, foregrounding the evocative contributions of guesting clean vocalists in passages redolent of gothic Americana/post-punk and integrating virtuosic guitar leads, textural electronics and atmospheric sample-work.
Heavily conceptual and rich with meaning, the 8 dystopian tracks use overarching inspiration from "Intermezzo", a 1908 impressionistic novel by the Ukrainian author Mykhailo Kotsubinsky - in addition to works by Beat-writer Jack Kerouac and psychoanalyst Carl Jung – to explore government-sanctioned murders, imminent environmental catastrophes, police brutality, domestic abuse, the psychic emptiness of cities, falsity of modern mainstream culture and ill-effects of overconsumption.
"False Light" is a multi-layered success story – perfectly balancing tension and traction, restraint and resurgence, fatalism and focus into an indispensable record from a stunning band at the top of their game.

Their best album yet. A perfect mix of technical brutality and melody.

I've never been much a fan of Black Metal, but after hearing about Blackbraid, I decided to give it a listen. The production and the atmosphere makes it easy to digest, the music evoking something that is rather omnipresent yet ancient. I look forward to seeing what Sgah’gahsowáh has in store with the new album

Solar Paroxysm
by Mare CognitumIf “atmospheric black metal” implies majestic comedowns and dramatic dynamics, this powerhouse instead constitutes anti-atmospheric black metal.

supported by 470 fans who also own “False Light”
This Album provokes such a maelstrom of conflicted thoughts. On one hand it's an incredibly wicked black metal album, on the other it's atmosphere adds so much despair and desperation. Beautiful or horrific, it is a personal favorite of the genre, highly recommended .
