.: Tracklist :.


Hail Spirit Noir’s first album, Pneuma (reviewed here), was unlike anything else I heard in 2012. It was exceedingly strange and yet brilliant, a splicing together of black metal, 60?s flower-power pop psychedelics, 70?s prog rock, 80?s New Wave dance beats, melodic doom, and even cool jazz. Each song was distinctively different from, though related to, the others, like cousins on a gnarled family tree.

I listened to Pneuma as often as any other album I discovered last year. Needless to say, I’ve been anxious to hear what this Greek duo would do next. And what they’ve done next is an album named Oi Magoi (“The Magicians”).

Last week, via Heavy Hard Metalmania, the band premiered an advance track named “Satan Is Time”, and it’s thoroughly captivating. It pushes and recedes like the tide, an eerie psychedelic ambience trading places with a pulsing rock beat, distorted guitar chords moving with blood-pumping bass and drum rhythms, soaring clean vocals in partnership with ugly harsh ones. The melody will get stuck in your head, and you may feel like chanting the song’s title right along with vocalist Theoharis.

Oi Magoi will be released by Code666 Records on January 20, 2014. Credit (and profuse thanks) to Andy Synn for alerting me to the debut of this new song.
