Ignobleth crawled out of northern Italy in 2022 as a three-piece unit, featuring A.L. on guitar, A.B. handling bass and vocals, and M.O. battering the drums. These guys started off completely worshiping the primitive war metal sound of bands like Blasphemy, Archgoat, and Conqueror. They dropped a demo called "Rot In The Cave" in 2023, followed by the "Voidspawn Sacrifice" EP in 2024. Over time, their musical approach mutated into the twisted dissonance of acts like Teitanblood, Kerasphorus, and Antediluvian. Now, they unleash their full-length debut, "Manor Of Primitive Anticreation", via Caligari Records.
This full-length is a completely different beast from their earlier recordings. Ignobleth churns out dissonant, down-tuned guitar riffs and frenetic drum blasts. The tempo shifts constantly, throwing the listener into a blender of ripping fast sections and dragging, heavily distorted bass lines. A.B. cycles between deep cavernous growls and high-pitched shrieks of torment. Songs like "Obelisk Of Deformity" and "Warped Abyssal Architectures" pile on the weird time signatures and strange musical turns.
The lyrics deal with Kabbalistic magick, Sumerian myths, Egyptian mysteries, and Lovecraftian horrors. Tracks like "Proselyte Pig I" and "Among The Seventy-Two Embalmed Ekpyrotic Gods" stretch on with bizarre background noises and strange alterations. The bizarre pacing throws you completely off guard. Sometimes the transitions are entirely abrupt, giving the songs a jarring, disconnected vibe. A.B.’s vocals rip through the mix with psychotic energy, switching from low gutturals to shrieking madness over the frenzied instrumentation.
"Manor Of Primitive Anticreation" offers a sick, twisted strain of extreme metal. The weird effects and disjointed song structures create a disorienting experience. It takes several spins to digest the constant musical changes. Some of the longer tracks wander slightly due to the sheer amount of disjointed parts. Ignobleth brings a totally feral energy to the table, delivering an abrasive, bizarre debut full-length.
Score: 7.0
