PannionSeer
Woozy, cacophonous and highly experimental black metal/psych-rock mysticism with smoldering guitars and a dense, incense-laden occult vibe.
Favorite track: The Two Wings Of Becoming.
Pauline Zipser
A pupil-dilating drug, drip-fed down the ear canal. Twangy, introspective valleys collide against blisteringly aggressive peaks. There are passages that could be described as black metal surf rock.
Favorite track: Hin Ondes Mystär.
IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTONS is proud to present JORDABLOD's highly anticipated second album, The Cabinet of Numinous Song, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
It was but 2017 when JORDABLOD burst from the void, fully formed, with their bold 'n' visionary debut album, Upon My Creation Pyre, courtesy of IRON BONEHEAD. A seemingly simple goal, the Swedish trio aimed to assemble the finest fragments of music and noise from all corners of the world, resulting in a grand diversity, but always maintaining the deepest awe for the core elements of black metal and death metal in its thematic and lyrical aspects. And indeed did Upon My Creation Pyre accomplish that, and then some: a work written in fire and ash, delivered with innermost devotion and passion. It was the documentation of a journey through mystical experience, from the initial touch by the divine, through ritual and meditations, to the ultimate initiation that is the cremation pyre.
Thus, if their debut was the death of the flesh but the liberation of the spirit, JORDABLOD find further resolution and wisdom within the spectral expanses of The Cabinet of Numinous Song. Duly titled, The Cabinet of Numinous Song weaves together fanciful-yet-frazzled threads of seemingly disparate frequencies, from hypnotically hovering black metal to sensually shimmering post-punk, from gnarled 'n' gnashing death metal to plaintive 'n' pastoral loner-folk. Far from a schizophrenic mess, JORDABLOD wield an elusive and profuse sort of magick - a sonic alchemy, if you will - that allows them to firmly/gently guide the listener across alien terrain, the album's seven songs each a landscape unto itself but comingling and coalescing into a grand tapestry that's truly Numinous Song. In fact, the album's 42-minute runtime reaches so deeply into the soul that you'd mistake this Cabinet for being both far shorter and far longer than that...
From the opening "A Grand Unveiling" to the closing "To Bleed Gold," from "The Two Wings of Becoming" to "The Beauty of Every Wound," JORDABLOD successively expand the consciousness and celebrate the renewing powers of transformation. More impossibly dazzling than ever, eclipsing the definition of "bold" and going beyond it, here resides The Cabinet of Numinous Song.

Tout est une question de perspective.
En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
