Shezmu – ‘À Travers Les Lambeaux’ (Krucyator Productions)

Posted by | Aug 3, 2020 | ,

Whenever a metal band professes to come from ‘the frozen fields of [wherever]’, an immediate association is made in the mind of most metalheads. Icy tundras; high pitched shrieks, an overload of blastbeats, Taylor Swift album covers… Well, maybe not the last, but its fair to say the general consensus points towards the notoriously frostbitten nethers of black metal.
