Hailing the Pacific Northwest, Olympia, Washington’s Returning have unlocked an ancient and spiritual force with their second full-length album, Numinous. With the call to return to nature and once again embrace the primitive, Returning blend ferocious black metal in reverence to their regional elders (Skagos, Fauna, Blood of the Black Owl and Alda), with expansive and ritualistic passages of music that sound like they were conceived in a trance.
