### Wolvserpent: Perigaea antahkarana

#### 08/12/13 || sincan

Wolveserpent might not be the most well known band in the metal genre, hailing from Idaho, and it was first when they opened for Wolves in the throne room a year or two ago I noticed the band’s existence. Consisting of only two members of which Brittany McConnell handles both the skins and the violin whereas Blake Green sings out of joy and rocks the guitar. Their style can shortly be classified as blackened doom drone ambient noise (BDDAN as me and my friends usually refers to it).

This album is a straggly piece of music which is relatively hard to get an uniform understanding about. The highlights are those of the black metal parts along with some of the doomier passages whereas other pieces feel a bit too much monotonous, that is those of the more drone/ambient nature. Even the doom guitar riffing can sometimes feel a bit out of place with its relatively modern, close to stoner, doom vibe.

Here and there we are also served some slow violin tunes and the song of the nature consisting of rippling water and animal sounds which sometimes actually works good for setting the mood. But the album struggles and I have troubles hearing if it is the songwriting which often seem to has a not so perfect timing or if it is the actual handling of the instruments which leaves more to be desired. But one thing which might prove the latter reason for the album’s struggling to be false is the good parts were the tremolo picking is in the center. One might not expect that this was just because of luck when falling down a stair with the guitar.

To sum this up the highlights occurs when the band sounds as WITTR or at least plays the same type of music. This album is also pretty good when relaxing.
