9th album from 2018 by the Irish PRIMORDIAL, one of the most distinctive and respected bands in the European Metal scene. “Exile Amongst the Ruins” continues the evolution of a group that has forged a truly unique identity, blending elements of Celtic Metal, Black Metal and Doom Metal with deep emotional intensity and strong influences drawn from Irish history, culture and folklore.
More introspective and melancholic than some of its predecessors, the album stands out for its dark atmospheres, epic compositions and the extraordinary vocal performance of Alan Averill. A mature and deeply moving work that finds PRIMORDIAL masterfully exploring themes of loss, the passage of time and decline, further reinforcing the band's status as one of the most singular acts in contemporary Metal.
Recommended for fans of MOONSORROW, SOLSTAFIR, EMPYRIUM and FALKENBACH.
