Vancouver’s Auroch return with new music for the first time in nearly
four years. The new mini-album ‘Stolen Angelic Tongues’ draws upon the
magical and spiritual traditions of South America and the Caribbean as
their histories, past and present, represent a microcosm of the great
spiritual rebellion that has been the band’s inspiration throughout its
singular discography.
An ever-evolving beast of the deep, here Auroch conjure vicious Black /
Death spells of occult necromancy and technical sorcery, making manifest
a dark vision of obscure magic . Returning to the fold is original
vocalist Culain who here summons spirits of the abyssic fire with savage
equanimity. Joining with their Covenant Circle brethren in Night
Profound and Aos Si, eerie ambient recordings bookend the concept piece
to dramatic effect.
