Grey Aura – Zwart Vierkant (full album, 2021)

Grey Aura – Zwart Vierkant (full album, 2021)

We are proud to present, in collaboration with Onism Productions and Black Metal Daily, the new album from Dutch blackened masters, Grey Aura.

Zwart Vierkant is their latest progressive exploration though literature and musical arts, which uses a base canvas of post-black metal to convey a fictional early 20th-century modernist painter’s growing obsession with abstract art and the destruction of the physical world.

Aaron from BMD spoke to the band about the new album, their creative process, black metal’s role in outsider art, its artistic freedom and stylistic ambiguity.

“The deeper we get into the writing process, the more intuitive it becomes, making it unnecessary for us to discuss our artistic direction through the works of other musicians. That is not to say that we aren’t influenced or inspired by anyone or anything, but those influences seep into the music in a rather subconscious way.”

The album is released through Onism on 7th May. Preorders are open now for digital, CD and vinyl editions of the album, plus an accompanying short book of essays by Ruben Wijlacker on the main characters and themes from Zwart Vierkant.

    It was like..
    "Oh shit! It’s only 00:33 and I’m so into it!"

    BM is an always renovating genre, space black, post black and avant gard are three crazy ways the genre is looking for new inspiration. Anyway, I love this recording!

    Wow! One of most incredible albums I’ve heard for a long time!!!
    Love all the jazzy moments and the theme at the end of "Het schuimspoor…" (a klezmer one?)
    Greetings from Poland!!!

    I love polyrythms at the beginning with sort of castanets. Unusual !



  12. moland fengkov on June 3, 2022 at 9:21 pm

    Magnificent

    this records will require a few more listen to fully graps, but i will always praise those artists that are able to deconstruct black metal while keeping its true spirit.
