Proving black metal really can appeal to everyone (like you had any doubt), Menace Ruine are a gateway act if ever there was one. While the Canadian group’s last release reveled in dissonant skronks and demonic howls, The Die is Cast takes a more measured tone, marrying the throaty moan of Marble Index-era Nico with deep psychedelic drones and haunting string orchestrations. Whether it’s a canto to salvation or something far more seedy, the band’s descent into the bowels is at once harrowing and aflame with ancient spiritualism.
