Review by Mark Jensen

Transience, the latest album by Dead In The Manger, is a haunting and atmospheric journey through the darker corners of black metal. The band's signature blend of raw aggression and contemplative melody is on full display, weaving through each track with a sense of purpose and urgency.

From the opening notes of "No End to the Rotten," the listener is pulled into a world of crushing riffs and dissonant chords, punctuated by blast beats and guttural vocals. But amidst the chaos, there are moments of beauty and introspection, such as the haunting clean guitar passage in "II."

Throughout the album, Dead In The Manger showcases their mastery of dynamics, shifting seamlessly from blistering intensity to moments of quiet introspection. The production is raw and unpolished, adding to the album's sense of raw power and authenticity.

Summary by Mark Jensen

While Transience is a challenging listen, it is also a rewarding one. Dead In The Manger have crafted an album that demands the listener's attention and rewards it with a rich and complex musical experience. Fans of black metal, experimental music, and anyone looking for an intense and thought-provoking listening experience should definitely give this album a listen.
