VIMUR are a black metal band who have recently announced the release of their new record, Transcendental Violence due out April 2, via Boris Records.
The new record follows the band’s 2019 release, Triumphant Master of Fate, a record that showcases choppy riffs, stagnant screams, creating a spacious atmosphere.
Transcendental Violence loads tracks with coarse melodies, alongside a stagnant and icey aura. Guitars release a swarm of tenacity giving off a bold and powerful compilation in each track.
All elements of this fierce record can be heard in the band’s latest track, “Aeonic Upheaval.” “‘Aeonic Upheaval’ is a journey unto itself and encapsulates the sound of VIMUR in one song. The intro is a mid-tempo call to arms for celestial warfare. The foreboding march signals decisive action will be taken. The tempo increases to show the battle has begun. The riffing and blast beats create a militant frenzy of cosmic aggression. The listener experiences a swirling furor unique to the sound of VIMUR. After the initial assault, the tempo breaks to enrapture the listener in a meditative trance, pondering the greatest calamity ever known. The tempo increases again, faster than before, accelerating the assault. The riffing cuts through the listener like a .50 cal round through flesh. The feeling of this is glorious.” Says the band regarding the new track. “The glory lies in the power of might. The spiritual tyrant has been crushed, making way for old gods and new men. The outro begins as the listener is forced to reconcile the aftermath of the highest cosmic battle ever known. It is an inward reflection of the vast array of emotions experienced in this struggle. The strength of the heart is revealed but it must also reckon with the despondency and feelings of loss due to the war higher than all wars.”
