Upon hearing
Averse Sefira
for the first time, many headbangers have been surprised to find out they are from Texas. That's because
Averse Sefira
's specialty is black metal, a form of extreme metal that -- like death metal -- has been dominated by Europe since the '90s and has been especially plentiful in the Scandinavian countries. There will no doubt be some listeners who are unfamiliar with
Averse Sefira
's history and will assume that
Advent Parallax
is the work of a band from Norway, Sweden, or perhaps Finland, but make no mistake:
Averse Sefira
are definitely part of that rare breed known as American black metal bands -- and in fact, they have been providing black metal since 1996.
Advent Parallax
, which is
Averse Sefira
's fourth full-length studio album, is not from the symphonic school of black metal; instead of favoring a lot of keyboards or getting into lush melodies (two of the things symphonic black metal is known for),
Averse Sefira
provide raw, scorching, bludgeoning black metal that adheres to a firm take-no-prisoners policy. There are hints of death metal on occasion, but black metal is the main ingredient -- and that means sinister-sounding rasp vocals (courtesy of lead singer
Sanguine Mapsama
), thunderous blastbeats, and an ambience of total doom. One of the things that makes
Advent Parallax
effective is the fact that you can actually understand the lyrics that are coming out of
Mapsama
's mouth. So many black metal and death metal vocalists are difficult to understand, but
Mapsama
is quite understandable on pummeling tracks such as
"Viral Kinesis,"
"Serpent Recoil,"
"Cognition of Rebirth,"
and
"Seance in a Warrior's Memory."
All things considered, this early-2008 release is a respectable, noteworthy example of an American band with a very Scandinavian-influenced sound. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
