XUL//EXCELSI Dit kruip en kruwel, boor in jou bewussyn in met genadelose swerme van ongemaklike riffs en gebruik die negatiewe spasie van die min vokale om oomblikke uitmergelend te maak.

Die eerste 2 is reeds die toegangsprys werd, anemiese gevoel en melodie, met van die sterkste uitvoering in hierdie geur van black metal.

Elke keer wat jy daai tannie op die insekpote se embleem sien, kan jy maar weet jys in vir 'n rit. En met hierdie een sal ek met liefde my stop mis en net aanhou ry. --LD Favorite track: Abstract Trap.

Odiumediae In reference to my favourite track, this album really has abstractly trapped me for the better part of a month now. The first time I listened to it I was amazed by the cold atmosphere, but my personal highlight is how a story began to unfold before my inner eye when I listened to "Abstract Trap". LORN are fantastic musicians and really know how to create atmospheres of smouldering and deeply unsettling, yet utterly fascinating musical terror. Favorite track: Abstract Trap.

Ippocalyptica I read a review of Arrayed Claws by a respected contributor on a certain popular metal website, and I think that he best captured in a single adjective the entire aesthetic and structure of this album: insectoid. This is unquestionably dissonant black metal and it is unquestionably experimental, but what makes it unique and memorable is indeed the insectoid, off-kilter riffing and melodies. Despite the unsettling atmosphere of this album, it is a credit to Lorn’s songwriting abilities that the entire album is utterly hypnotising. Furthermore, even though each song contains melodies that are repeated at length before transitioning in unpredictable ways to different, equally-intriguing melodies, the whole affair is completely cohesive. These gents are also rather accomplished musicians in terms of instrumental prowess, and I was left wondering more than once just how they executed certain sections. In closing, as myriad as are the fish in the ocean, equally numerous are the reasons to buy this album and commit yourself to the insectoid void. Favorite track: Abstract Trap.

____________________________

Two years after the revelatory “Subconscious Metamorphosis” album, Italy's LORN are back with “Arrayed Claws”, probably their more psychotic and violent work to date. The album features 5 tracks that perfectly exemplify LORN's evolutionary path within the black metal field.

As it was with its predecessor, “Arrayed Claws” is an accumulation of ultra-electric and dissonant melodies standing out against colossal guitar-walls, often shattering into psychedelic, mind-expanding dark ambient codas. But where “Subconscious Metamorhposis” was a transcendental mental journey towards a superior illumination, LORN's new album looks more like a physical and desperate odyssey through the regions of Death, an “abstract trap” through which to sink into an unforgiving hell that corrupts the flesh and mutilates the spirit.

That's exactly what happens in “Toybodïm” and “Süt-aq-Köl”, two songs inspired by the Altaian mythology, two stages of a purification path. The first track takes its name from a black lake where the souls of the dead fall and become larvae; the second is a lake of milk where the spirits get purified, a placenta for the newborns. The transition between these two tracks and the towering atmospheric conclusion of “Aus Nebel Turm” leaves the listener beaten and dismayed, with the painful awareness of being only a grain of nothing, lost in the unending and mysterious fogs of Existence.
