Trhä's usual harshness being interwoven with some of the brightest moments in their entire discography makes this an emotionally resonant release!
Trhä's ∫um'ad∂ejja cavvaj is another staggering entry in an unparalleled discography, proving once again that the project exists in its sonic universe. While maintaining the project's signature raw black metal foundation--blistering speed, ethereal howls, and an overwhelming wall of sound--this album also ventures into unexpected and deeply atmospheric territory.
The album feels like a fever dream, constantly shifting between aggression and an almost sorrowful, floating beauty. The rawness is relentless, but underneath the chaos, there are moments of stunning melody and atmospheric flourishes that give the music an eerie, alien quality. Track 6, which briefly echoes the grandiosity and rhythmic experimentation of Liturgy, stands out as a particularly bold moment, while the synth-driven closer is nothing short of breathtaking. These touches--unexpected yet perfectly woven into the madness--elevate Trhä above any contemporaries.
There's an emotional depth to ∫um'ad∂ejja cavvaj that makes it feel more like an experience than just an album. The production remains purposefully raw, yet everything feels meticulously composed, creating an overwhelming and immersive soundscape.
At this point, it's hard to compare Trhä to anything else in black metal. The project has long surpassed the typical reference points. Instead, it exists as a singular entity, churning out a relentless stream of prolific and consistently mesmerizing material. ∫um'ad∂ejja cavvaj is no exception--it's another essential chapter in one of the most unique black metal legacies of the modern era.
