Cascadian Pulse
Never assuming to be blown away by Cascadian Black Metal around the time it broke big sometime in the mid-00’s (in London it was playing in stores in Camden Town) and given the times of climate consciousness we’re living, this USBM movement is still deserving of its merits. Primordial Norse Black Metal is well known for atmosphere and ambiance (check early Kampfar, Windir and Enslaved) as it is for brutal assaults of demonic noise. The unadulterated beauty of the mountain come winter, the focus on atmosphere and the natural world play a big part in Cascadian as it did when a bunch of Norwegian kids decided to make bare chested photoshoots in -25 celsius snowy Bergen. Now some 15 years after the second wave, what bands like WITTR brought to the scene is nothing short of astonishing. Its not easy to redefine atmosphere and true emotion at this level of the underground, filled with brutality and chaos. This music, thriving with eco-centric messages has been largely responsible for attracting a whole new generation – from the biggest metal market – which at the turn of the millennium was hooked on Korn.
This is not a mix of Cascadian BM, but some of the bands featured here have something to say in that regard, as they use the atmosphere, the message and the aesthetic that characterises it. A strong message is also what Manchester based band A Forest of Stars delivers with their fantastic 2010 album, their best track (ever) opening this mix. Its a lesson in Atmospheric Black Metal of the highest caliber, for the ages.
