Fertile Descent

Emerging from the edge of the ancient forests of the Veluwe, Solar Temple offers their debut full length. Fertile Descent' lures you in with it's direct yet swirling black metal impression and unique approach. Like something sinuous at the edge of your vision but not quite perceivable, the two tracks of this album twist and bend with a dizzying ferocity. Pummeling sounds entwined with a distant echo that also feels warm and inviting. 'Fertile Descent' takes the foundation they laid with their 2017 demo, 'Rays of Brilliance' and expands on it's reverberant nature. Subtly giving the nod to a wide range of contemporary Dutch bands such as Turia, Fluisteraars, and even some Swans in the distance, this two-piece weaves a veiled path for the listener.
