Drofnosura from Canada are a strange beast and they’re comfortable in their own iridescent, translucent skin. Drofnsura’s Ritual of Split Tongues, is less a collection of tracks and more an unforgiving descent into the chaotic thermodynamics of modern dissonant black metal. A relentless barrage of polyrhythms and dizzying blast beats—to cut sharply through the dense layers of tremolo-picked guitar work. The atmosphere is defined by stark contrasts, wherein moments of unsettling, almost liturgical acoustic calm violently rupture into frenzied, cavernous voids.
