întristare - The gathering of like believers
Review by richard tanzer
Intristare's album, The Gathering of Like Believers, is a stunning display of atmospheric black metal that is both captivating and haunting. The album's eight tracks are a masterful blend of raw aggression and melancholic beauty, showcasing the band's ability to craft complex soundscapes that draw the listener into a world of darkness and despair.
From the opening notes of "The Gathering," the album sets a foreboding tone, with the band's signature blend of tremolo-picked riffs and atmospheric synths creating an immersive and ethereal soundscape. The vocals, delivered with a fierce intensity by frontman M., add to the album's sense of urgency and emotional depth.
Tracks like "A Vessel for Sorrow" and "The Burden of Hope" showcase the band's ability to craft epic, sweeping compositions that build to powerful crescendos, while "The Longing" and "The Promise of Solace" demonstrate their skill at creating more introspective and melancholic pieces that are no less powerful.

Notes
- This is their latest full length album from 2017. this album is easily their best in their discography. Finding their sound, they showcase a style of Atmospheric uplifting Black Metal. this sound change is also accompanied by an ideological change. Caleb Webb, Frontman of the band is a Christian and thus uses this release to express his beliefs. Caleb has stated and i quote {"Intristare is not a Christian Band...we do not want to be piled into the category of "Un-Black Metal" because that puts a limit on what we can talk about. We do not want to shove our beliefs in your face and condemn you for not thinking like us, that is not what Christianity is about...its not a bout a long list of Do's and Don'ts......it is love and compassion for anyone in any walk of life and with this release we talk about our beliefs and what we see to be truth. it is who we are. but do not be surprised if we also do the opposite and stray from the Christian Centered themes. like i said, we do not want to be caught in the "white/Un-Black Metal" Box."} this release was pressed on 2 variants.
