   ||  ne of the metal underground's best-kept secrets, WARLUST began   ||
   ||  their assault on the false in 2012. The title of their debut     ||
   ||  demo, 2014's Unholy Attack, said everything it needed to: here   ||
   ||  was blackthrashing METAL, steeped in the spirits of old and      ||
   ||  with genuinely evil blood coursing through its veins. However,   ||
   ||  it was 2017's Morbid Execution debut album where WARLUST first   ||
   ||  truly took flight - on burning wings of flame! More intense,     ||
   ||  more epic, more heavy fucking metal, Morbid Execution carried    ||
   ||  on the noble work started by founding fathers Desaster in their  ||
   ||  homeland and Deströyer 666, Zemial, and Aura Noir abroad.        ||
   ||                                                                   ||
   ||  But, while that debut LP was still tethered to more              ||
   ||  traditional-style blackthrash, with Unearthing Shattered         ||
   ||  Philosophies do WARLUST's songwriting chops blossom with         ||
   ||  startling strength and crushing clarity. It's all immediately    ||
   ||  WARLUST, for sure, but within the album's eight-song/45-minute   ||
   ||  runtime lurks a travelogue of terror and triumph, of melancholy  ||
   ||  and malevolence. Calling it more "epic" would be accurate, but   ||
   ||  that only tells half the story, if at all; allowing oneself to   ||
   ||  be swept away by both teeth-gnashing thrash sprints and          ||
   ||  strident, swords-aloft marches is more representative of the     ||
   ||  experience, of total possession, in thrall to the eternal and    ||
   ||  unyielding spirit of Hell's heavy metal. Likewise, WARLUST's     ||
   ||  command of dynamics here is impressive, to say the very least:   ||
   ||  part and parcel of those more epic stylings, the narrative flow  ||
   ||  within each track and then from one track to the next takes the  ||
   ||  band into the upper echelon of nowadays evil metal. And the      ||
   ||  band's melodicism is, as ever, simultaneously cryogenic and      ||
   ||  burning hot to the touch in the grand tradition of classic       ||
   ||  Dissection and Necrophobic.                                      ||
   ||                                                                   ||
   ||  Better yet, gaze deeply into the moody art work Unearthing       ||
   ||  Shattered Philosophies and see where WARLUST lead you!           ||
