9RnK7 Very sad to have never got to see them live but happy they ended on such a strong note with this album. Great songwriting here with some awesome riffs. Farwell to one of my all time favorite black metal bands. Favorite track: Spectres From The Old World.

bmurator German Melodic Black Metal. Truly fantastic album with some very strong progressive elements in addition to MBM. Such a shame that this project no longer exists... I shall look into their past discography for more awesome music in that case... :) Highly recommended!!!

Venerated black metal specialists DARK FORTRESS return with a new album, “Spectres from the Old World”! After a six-year gap, Germany’s darkest sons continue where “Venereal Dawn” (2014) left off conceptually—the birth-death lifecycle of the universe as told by spacetime—but are expanding DARK FORTRESS’ musical horizons by descending faster and with spiteful intent into the cosmic abyss. Indeed, “Spectres from the Old World” is more direct, more aggressive than its predecessors. These musical themes play out fiercely in “Coalescence,” “The Spider in the Web,” “Pazuzu,” and the pivotal title track. Here, DARK FORTRESS prove that they remain committed to black metal’s netherworld spark. The malignant sounds that inspired DARK FORTRESS on “Tales from Eternal Dusk” (2001), “Seance” (2006), and “Ylem” (2010) are still very much part of the DNA that makes up the band’s finest hour on “Spectres from the Old World.” But as DARK FORTRESS find themselves in good black-hearted company, their destiny calls for venturing beyond the confines of the genre. “Pali Aike,” named after an actual Chilean hellscape, finds vocalist Morean marshalling his bandmates to very center of time-worn volcanoes to an epic thrum. “Isa,” in many ways the opposite of “Pali Aike,” feels very cold, its dissonance and grooves inspired by antediluvian ice storms. The triumvirate is complete with the limpid black expanse of “Swan Song.” At no time in DARK FORTRESS’ history have they reached so far out into the darkness, only to find the domine of astronomy non-existent, the end merely an end. Recorded, engineered, mixed, and mastered by V. Santura at Woodshed Studios throughout 2019, “Spectres from the Old World” marks an important milestone in DARK FORTRESS’ journey along actual and spiritual left-hand paths. Glimpse into the endless black of the universe on “Spectres from the Old World.”

Once more, I walk "back in time", I first discovered A.O with their latest release, and then decided to listen and get this release. Relieved to find out that this one is less classic BM but more a mix between Dimmu and more symphonic BM and the Shilmagoghnar trilogy. The speed of many tracks is pure armageddon!! Keyboard and electro soft touch gives it a different vibe, much appreciated!!! sachavonkarl74
