One look at his Metal Archives page will | | | show you that he has his hands in a lot of different projects | | | across a rather large scope of music. Delving into the list, a few | | | of his projects stand out. The Belgian man has almost annually | | | released music under the Black Metal moniker of Merda Mundi (Latin | | | for "shit of the world"), for regular readers or fans of Funeral | | | Doom, Déhà is also the man behind the instrumental/atmospheric | | | Funeral Doom band, Slow. Today's focus, however, is on his | | | Blackened Drone/Doom project, Yhdarl. Déhà, along with fellow | | | musician, Larvalis, digitally released a new, two-song entitled A | | | Prelude to the Great Loss. | | | | | | The name of the EP is exactly what it might imply. A Prelude to the | | | Great Loss will ultimately build to an album entitled Loss. It | | | features the songs, "Unblessed Hands" and "Primal Disgrace", which | | | were originally recorded in 2014 and feature a slew of guest | | | appearances like Ascaris of Ævangelist and Old from Drohtnung. | | | "Unblessed Hands" resonates more as a (relatively) prototypical | | | Funeral Doom song. Throughout its roughly 12-minute runtime, the | | | track has an undertow of somber guitar strings from which harsh | | | shrieks and bellows occasionally break through. It is in the EP's | | | latter track, "Primal Disgrace", where tides turn and tempos spike | | | into blackened territories. Yhdarl's music becomes an exercise in | | | crippling torment as the track progresses. The tempestuous Black | | | Metal breaks momentarily to alone occasional doom or droning | | | interludes before returning to a pummeling pace. | | | | | | The two tracks dichotomize Yhdarl's music in a way that showcases | | | Déhà's range (as if his plethora of projects did not prove that | | | anyway). A Prelude to the Great Loss is a healthy dose of | | | Extreme/Funeral Doom Metal that leaves you wanting more. One can | | | only hope that Loss is delivered in the relative near future. For | | | the time being, may I suggest diving headfirst into Déhà's daunting | | | discography as well as purchasing today's feature from Yhdarl's | | | Bandcamp page? A bit of an undertaking, but I promise it is worth | | | the reward. | | | | | `----------------------------------------------------------------------' | | | `------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | - Hi5's/HAiLS - | | .___.___. __|_______ ___ | ___| |\ | \ _____/___. /__/__ | \ | |_\_|_.__\____ | \ _/__.__________________________________. | / _ | | | | __\_ | | | /___|___|_____| | |/________| 86D - BERC - REGRET - BRiGAND | | ---------------| | mK^dS!--- DeBT - DiVINE STYLERS! | | | | | DeVOiD - NBFLAC | | | |______________| LORD SATAN | | | | | `----------------------------------------------------------------------' | | | `----------------------------------------------------------------- | | | - LAYOUT & DESiGN - | TEAM CATARACT: PHYSICAL MEDIA ONLY. |__. -BY- .__| | 30ONk!# oF | DON'T BE FUCKING CHEAP.
