Therizo

TAUBRA - 'sorcery' in Proto-Germanic language - are an Occult Black Metal band formed early 2022 by musicians from Norway/Switzerland to express the union of primal violence, existential unease and mystical otherness which made canonical Black Metal so fascinating. - A Greek New Testament word meaning to reap or harvest, "Therizo" - aided by a meticulously powerful mix and master - propels quintessential Norse sturm und drang through the claustrophobic strata of atmospheric BM into an unholy set of songs, deceptive in their simplicity, compulsive in their brutality. - Centred by the pummelling performances of drummer J. (AARA, THRON) and bassist T. (ex- CHOTZÄ, MALPHAS), the album unfolds in a permanent rush of layered, intertwining riffs and leads from guitarist/composer B. (AARA, MODERN RITES) adorned with the deep, cruel-spirited and distinctly enunciated vocals of R. (ILHALUNG, LEGIONES) imparting occultist lyrics of religion and death. - TAUBRA carry forth into the modern era the ancient spirits and spells which possessed the legendary second-wave BM artists of the early/mid '90s in a Magickal journey through chaos, ecstasy, darkness and inner contemplation.
