An Autumn for Crippled Children - As the Morning Dawns We Close Our Eyes (2021)


They did it again. The Dutch mysterious post-black metal An Autumn for Crippled Children released another great dose of gloomy anger in the form of heavy music. After last year's All Fell Silent, Everything Went Quiet they follow up with the same level of emotions on As the Morning Dawns We Close Our Eyes.

This is a rather short one. Only half an hour but if it's so packed with the post-metal blizzard, it doesn't matter how long it is. It opens very fast with very heavy metal-like guitars and extremely black vocals. And these vibes don't leave for the next 30 minutes. It still feels like post-metal though: the screaming vocals are withdrawn and layered under the guitar noise, there's firm atmosphere and post-rock-like structures too. But it's very, very energetic - to the point where you want to start screaming yourself. The artists know how to spread the emotions through sounds and they do that so well.

There's some additional flavours like slightly sacral themes in the album's best track Splendour Unnoticed or interesting piano intrusions in Last Night I Believe You, but in general it is all about the tidal wave of slightly more post kind of metal and I'm here for it.

As the Morning Dawns We Close Our Eyes costs 10 USD.
