Kodanshi Helcarver
Another one of those albums where your favourite track changes with whatever you’re listening to at the time. Here, a side project of the mighty Mesarthim, Left Horn of the Ram conjure up a soundtrack to the final moments of a dying star.
Track 2 uses the same riff as track 3 from the Absence album, lending an eerie familiarity to the proceedings—the death throes of stars has happened before, countless times.
It all culminates in an unbearably poignant finale—we still feel in awe of the end.
Favorite track: Final Moments of a Dying Star III.
