From time to time Archivist shows to the world albums that can hardly be ignored. The band consisting of musicians from three countries, have just released an album called Triumvirate that in an impressive way ends the trilogy of albums filled with loud blackgaze/post-metal with a message.
The band's music is based on a simple but very interesting idea, it is supposed to be records of the archivist who lived through the end of the world that we know and "begins to record her memories of the world left in turmoil by humanity's shortsightedness and greed". It's worth to read the longer version of this story available on the band's Facebook page to have something to think about. So we have a band that is pro-environmental and antifascist so it's a good way to start listening to some music.
And the music is described by the band themselves as "ethereal metal" and indeed - the guitar sounds are soothed by the sounds of synths and subtle electronics but stil remaining loud and poignant. Just like the screaming vocal from time to time supported by its airy equivalent (as in the great The Endurance).
Triumvirate costs whatever you want to pay.
