Jumalhämärä –Resignaatio lp atmospheric black metal

Black vinyl with gatefold cover

Progression is a dirty word in combination with black metal. Theart lies in combining primitive aesthetics and innovative elements.Not denying the genre’s origins is more important here thaningenuity, but the art of combining them correctly indicates theultimate craftsmanship. It was certain works like Mayhem’s Ordo AdChao and works by bands like Deathspell Omega that refloated thestalled genre. This Finnish Jumalhämärä can be placed in this samelist without further ado. Resignaatio is the first proper album butthe band does not seem to lack experience. The material on offermanages to be quite impressive in its bizarreness. Where blackmetal seemed to die a slow, chilly death sometime in the early partof the last decade, the genre is showing its ability to renew andenrich itself. The resonant and dissonant riffs are ominously woveninto a churning ocean of almost nauseating hypnosis. The rumblingdrums and the screaming vocals add just that little bit extra andseem to have sprung from the diseased brain of a psychiatricpatient. The contrast between the subdued ritualistic, acousticpassages and the maniacal excesses could hardly be greater.Influences from outside black metal are easy to detect but theseprovide the right touches without getting bogged down in babblingpost-rock or other artyfarty drivel. Resignaatio is an album thatneeds to be experienced in its entirety in order to strike theright chord with the listener. Jumalhämärä deliberately stays milesaway from Satanic bands like Watain but, exactly in this way,easily manages to evoke a much nastier atmosphere than with anydevilish flirtation.
