AERDRYK - Onzuiver CD (Preorder)

NB! Preorder item, est. shipping early May

After a debut album released in 2022, steeped in the mischievous aura of 90's atmospheric Black Metal, with a strong emphasis on ethereal keyboards and a deeply melodic bassline, Aerdryk, the solo project of CVB (Wolvennest, Cult of Erinyes, LVTHN, Erbeet Azhak among others), returns with its sophomore effort, Onzuiver (“Impure” in Flemish).
Make no mistake: Aerdryk comes back with bared fangs.
Melancholy still lingers, but the tone and the sound have hardened, mirroring the world itself. While not a concept album per se, a pervasive theme runs through Onzuiver: the Devil as metaphor, an ideological weapon raised against Christianity. The record exhales sulfur. CVB's vocals, more varied and venomous than in the project's early days, channel a heightened sense of hatred and defiance.
Onzuiver unfolds as a frenetic sonic pilgrimage through inspired riffs and almost a folk approach hidden behind the distortion, advocating the liberation of the mind and urging the listener to shatter the chains of submission. Here, Aerdryk openly reclaims the original mission of Black Metal: a clenched fist driven straight into the face of self-proclaimed Christian morality.
