PREDATORY LIGHT (USA) – ‘Predatory Light’ CD

While logically expanding upon the already-distinct voice established on Predatory Light‘s two celebrated demos and split LP and venturing down the same labyrinthine paths, Predatory Light also forges new ground for the band. While much of the songwriting finds the band pushing further into the melodic unknown, there is simultaneously a paradoxical willful regression that witnesses the players more clearly exhibiting the influence of classic Greek, Italian, and South American black metal. It is precisely this ability to balance tradition with a single-minded compositional freedom that makes the album so remarkable.
