Choronzon

Ghuughra Let's face it, we all came here for the insane drumming, blurry drive-by riffery, and the dog vocals. If you ignore the overlong intros and the cringey deist-satanist praise and worship bits, 10/10. Even viewed through a more jaundiced, modern lens, Chronizon still bangs like nobody's business.

Maybe 'Words That Go Unspoken...' is technically a better album, that doesn't change the fact that Leviathan is my go to song for introducing people to the band. 2003 and it still holds up, enough said.

Metal Addiction It would be viewed as extremely nitpicky if I look for something to complain about the quality of this album. It is the beginning of the glorious trio in Akercocke's career. The rest of the trio is, of course, Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone and Antichrist. The gruff vocals and distorted guitar works make every single track sound mysterious. Especially the muddy guitar tone with incredible heaviness helps craft the unorthodox and unique atmosphere of this album. Favorite track: Leviathan.

Ralph Douglas Blackened prog metal with glorious satanic intent bleeding through all the songs! A genre busting album ahead of its time, Choronzon remains a standout album in the Akercocke canon. 5 Stars!

about

Akercocke deliver the album they've been threatening to make all along, and it's absolutely magnificent. It's time to put all those long-held prejudices about death and black metal aside!
