Beyond Ruthless Cold

Album Review: WRATH FROM ABOVE - Beyond Ruthless Cold In a musical landscape dominated by cookie-cutter pop tunes and soulless electronic beats, WRATH FROM ABOVE's latest offering, Beyond Ruthless Cold, is a welcome breath of fresh air. Combining elements of black metal, doom metal, and avant-garde jazz, this album is a schizophrenic whirlwind of sonic chaos that will leave you questioning your own sanity. From the haunting wails of the opening track, "Frozen Wasteland", to the bone-crushing riffs of "Bloodstorm Apocalypse", WRATH FROM ABOVE pulls no punches in their relentless assault on the senses. The band's virtuosic musicianship is on full display throughout the album, with each member showcasing their technical prowess and creativity in equal measure. But what truly sets Beyond Ruthless Cold apart from its contemporaries is its sense of humour. Tracks like "Death by Snowball Fight" and "Frostbitten Funkadelic" inject a much-needed dose of levity into an otherwise bleak and brutal musical landscape. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always room for a good laugh. Overall, Beyond Ruthless Cold is a triumph of creativity and originality in a genre that often feels stagnant and repetitive. WRATH FROM ABOVE have crafted a masterpiece that demands to be heard, and will surely solidify their status as one of the most exciting bands in metal today. Do yourself a favour and give this album a listen - you won't be disappointed. 9.5/10.
