10th album from 2023 by the Irish PRIMORDIAL, one of the most distinctive and respected bands in the European Metal scene. “How It Ends” marked the band's return five years after “Exile Amongst the Ruins”, once again showcasing its unmistakable blend of Celtic Metal, Black Metal and Doom Metal, enriched by deep emotional weight and a strong Irish cultural identity.
Darker, more reflective and melancholic than much of the band's recent output, the album unfolds through epic and twilight-like atmospheres, combining powerful emotional passages, Celtic-rooted melodies and the unmistakable vocal performance of Alan Averill. With impeccable production and richly layered songwriting, “How It Ends” once again demonstrates PRIMORDIAL's ability to create deeply human, solemn and highly distinctive Metal, reinforcing its status as one of the genre's most unique acts.
Recommended for fans of MOONSORROW, SOLSTAFIR, FALKENBACH and MAEL MÓRDHA.
