Faith
I'm not sure when's the last time I waited this long for an album to release; but what a worthwhile wait this has been. Beyond The Palest Star rips and tears... through space, time... and beyond. And that's all there is to say really; VORGA never misses a beat, and the vocals are as savage and captivating as always. Transcending Obscurity has certainly found an interesting style for themselves, and I'm deeply grateful for their masterful curation and support of their library and their artists.
Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
Somehow topping their previous album which was already an immensely stellar effort. One of the top black metal bands anywhere in the world right now

Scaling astronomical heights with their previous full length, sci-fi themed black metal band Vorga return with another illuminating album. The German band, wiser from their experiences, have adopted a more direct approach with a sound that is comparatively more stripped down but its emotive appeal and stirring quality has only been enhanced. In addition to being far more nuanced, the songs are beautifully structured too, each narrating its own otherworldly tale. Finding better expression, the music is more relatable and heartfelt than ever before, with the numerous glistening melodies lingering on for much longer than expected. The music almost has a gentle, haunting quality to it. The band understands that when the music is so emotionally rich and evocative, the expression need not be forceful anymore. There's pure understated elegance on display here which is unparalleled; it's sheer class. Vorga have fully mastered their art on this release and multiple listens will only attest to the fact that they've come up with yet another gem of an album.
For fans of: Imperialist, Dissection, Vektor, Emperor, Satyricon, Mare Cognitum

Like labelmates Vorga, the US black metal band Imperialist too have been playing sci-fi themed music. Their music is sharper, thrashier and more intense but it's brilliantly structured all the same. Vorga
Decipher play a form of steely, emotive and powerful black metal that's easily a highlight in the style this year. Their music is virtually flawless and boasts of exceptional songwriting. It's a gem. Vorga
Dissonant black metal band Norse write some of the catchiest songs while retaining a high level of menace that only they're capable of conjuring. Their sound is unique and they keep getting better! Vorga

I really cant pick a favorite track, this whole album kicks so much ass with its intensity and ferocity from beginning to end. Definitely a new favorite artist. Really gives off Necrophobic vibes with the melodies and atmosphere. Andrés Salas
supported by 437 fans who also own “Beyond The Palest Star”
Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74
