Review: Mesarthim – Anthropic Bias/Departure (Avantgarde)

My review of Mesarthim's Anthropic Bias/Departure, written for Heavy Music HQ:

Mesarthim, a band that has swiftly risen to prominence in the atmospheric black metal scene in less than a decade, have always been driven by profound concepts such as cosmos and existence. Their remarkable evolution, culminating in their latest album Anthropic Bias / Departure, a compilation of two singles released over the past year, marks the band’s arrival at a point of coherent songwriting and production.

If the new album brings Pain or the latest The Kovenant albums to mind, you’re on the right track. You might even catch echoes of Norwegian symphonic black metal. Mesarthim’s transition from an Appalachian black metal-inspired act to an electronic/trance-fused, progressive-tinged symphonic black metal band is a testament to their versatility. While retaining its original core, this transformation is a journey worth exploring. The two long songs on the 37 minute album provide the band with extensive space to develop their dynamism and test their ability to maintain a cohesive musical texture. While Anthropic Bias / Departure may not represent a new direction, it certainly showcases the band’s maturation and the creation of a work that could attract new fans.

Rating: 3.5/5

“I can offer you nothing,” he said. “Only a song in the shadows.”

“Sing it to me,” I whispered back.

“Whatever part of my existence you have touched,” Arcturus said, “is the best of me, Paige Mahoney.” ♥️

“’There,’ I said. ‘The world didn’t end.’ His gaze moved from our hands to my face. ‘I never thought it would.’”

Ever since I read The Bone Season in June I’ve had a reoccurring vision for an art piece for the chapter “Amaranth” and a few months ago I finally said enough is enough and commissioned Anna @mossillustra to do a Guildhall centered piece.

Anyway I’m forever screaming about this so if you could commission Anna to do any and all art things that would be great!

And read The Bone Season too💕

Paige permanently exhausted as she tries to balance the demands of working as Jaxon's mollisher with going behind his back to help the survivors of Oxford. Across London, Arcturus Mesarthim is typing "human courtship rituals" into an internet search engine with a level of focus usually reserved for quantum mechanics calculations

When things calm down I want Paige and Arcturus to become cat parents, I feel like they have that vibe
