Beginning with a brief, mood-setting intro, the album’s title track explodes into being, swiftly reminding what made Vornth so immediate and enduring. Over the course of eight more tracks, Vornth succinctly cast a sweeping, salacious spell that encompasses ’80s speed metal, thrash, and proto-black metal. Black Pyres, by comparison to Vornth’s debut, is a punchier and more concise affair, reining in some of the self-titled album’s more elongated excursions for a judiciously paced ’n’ patient gallop, fists pounding and heads banging in obeisance to all that is evil and eternal and eternally evil. Nevertheless, there’s still plenty of bursts of violence & force, as well as Vornth’s now-characteristic attention to nuance and dynamics, soundly splitting the difference between frenzied, sulfur-choked hysterics and iron-studded swagger. Light the Black Pyres and feel the fire!
