Hailing from The Land Down Under, Claret Ash was completely unknown to me until Hypnotic Dirge Records sent me their newest EP to review. In short, this album rules and takes me to a very happy place.

“Worldtorn - Anempoia” has a lot going on, but I’ll do my best to explain it. First and foremost, it’s Black Metal. From straight up Black Metal to Technical Black Metal to more of an Agalloch sound, it’s all there. There ma...
