Allegiance to the Myth

by Serpentshrine

supported by

Bestia This is black metal perfection from back to front. Previous releases were too overproduced, while this really stands out. Wicked atmosphere and kick ass performance. 10/10.

SANDRA.N.696 One of my favorites ever in top.15.
Full immersion in hell and impressive.
For those who know and appreciate.
For shure not for the Fashionist one's.
Black metal is a true passion without you can not breath.
If you feel this then you are on the right path way.
Otherwise put the poses out.
Old school BM pretty much Satanic Black metal in hell! Favorite track: Satanic Rituals of the Perverse.

West Maddox Serpentshrine lives and breathes Satanic black metal. The darkness is immersive and engulfing. One of the most refreshing traditional black metal bands I have come across in many years. A retro 90s sound that reminds me of the reason I first got into this amazing sub-genre: Satan. Favorite track: Satanic Rituals of the Perverse.

about

SIGNAL REX is proud to present SERPENTSHRINE's highly anticipated second album, Allegiance to the Myth, on digipack CD format.

Formed in 2015 and hailing from the United States, SERPENTSHRINE are a black metal power-trio literally out of time. Theirs is a sound that proudly and authentically heralds the ancient ways of the 1990s. Raw and rabid but not without a certain nightsky majesty to their blitzed attack, SERPENTSHRINE are poised to elevate themselves out of self-imposed obscurity with the release of their second full-length, Allegiance to the Myth.

Indeed accurately titled, Allegiance to the Myth recalls trace elements of a grand host of noble influences: from prime Throne of Ahaz and Thy Primordial to equally debut-era Ancient and Enthroned, from Malicious-era Gorgoroth and earliest Immortal to old Primigenium and Isvind, SERPENTSHRINE transport the listener to forgotten realms and glorious times. However, such foundational stones would be for naught if it weren't for the trio's skillful songwriting and impassioned execution - the former spanning speed and swirl with deftness and nuance, the latter emitting an otherworldly aspect whilst retaining tangible physicality - altogether making Allegiance to the Myth a record that could be respectably placed within such an archaic timeline.

The way forward is to reject modernity: SERPENTSHRINE hereby swear Allegiance to the Myth.

Rundagard is legitimately a great example of 90's worship done right. The mix of raw yet listenable recordings, violent vocals and an infusion of synths and preludes make this album a perfect display of why Black Metal is best to be left in the underground! Majestic performance! Gabriel Tamas
