Dallas Toler-Wade has been the established frontman for a couple of albums now and while the stability as brought us Annihilation Of The Wicked new opus ‘The Gates Of Sethu’ falls just short of the Egyptologists high standards. Karl Sanders steady hand has seen the band through the departure of Chief Spires and Jon Vesano yet before their hymns to Ra may begin, we have Frenchmen Svårt Crown and Canadians come Roman centurions Ex Deo to lead the charge.
If you can get past the diabolical cover art (seriously, this kinda stuff is still a thing?) then Svart Crown’s third offering is a solid blackened death record that’s certainly a little look if time allows. These French chaps have been sitting on the fringes of the Gallic extreme scene for many a year and whilst they aren’t exactly breaking the fourth wall with their heavy as heck drives, they definitely have a little je ne c’est quoi about them that makes their furious pitches and wild howls worth checking out.
