Before the Glinting Spell Unvests

by Ustalost

supported by

JDMP This is a truly excellent black metal record. One of my favorite elements are the synths throughout. Vocals are absolutely on par and demonstrate the torture and emotion of the music nicely.

Sir_Mustard Ustalost seems to be onto something here. I'm really digging the unique approach to composition in this album, as well as all the energy it has. Favorite track: White Marble Column Air.

Nate Such an epic sounding album! Favorite track: Bright Window Closing.

about

Ustalost is the solo project of Yellow Eyes co-founder Will Skarstad, conceived a half-decade ago with The Spoor of Vipers as a pressure valve for ideas too decadent for any other outlet. He returns with a second release, Before The Glinting Spell Unvests, a vision of grandiosity and endless beguiling depth, dragged dripping out of the bog with handfuls of fruit so overripe as to be nearly alcoholic. Ustalost has always been an experiment in indulgence, and Glinting Spell asks for even more, careening through landscapes of hysteria and melancholy with impulsiveness and the godlike acetic whiff of incoherence.

Recorded straight to tape in the woods of Connecticut, with lyrics, production, and album design by Sam Skarstad, Before The Glinting Spell Unvests is another entry in an increasingly exceptional legacy.

Pale Swordsman
by Këkht Aräkh

Through the ether, a black metal boy showed me “Swordsman”. I was astonished at the mix of shoe-gaze and black metal. The album’s atmosphere is heavy, dark like night. Words cannot describe. Sultry in its romance, there is a sense of melancholic limerance. It allows a soundscape similar to Burzum’s ambient but with a deep electric guitar. Ugh it hurts so well. posion_princess
