WILT (Canada) - WILT (Self-Titled) (MLP) 180gram White Vinyl
WILT (Manitoba, Canada) - WILT (Self-Titled) (used MLP copy) (2013) Co-released by War On Music & Winter Wolf Records on 180gram White vinyl - limited to only 300 copies worldwide.
Winnipeg's WILT present an entirely coherent union of visuals and sounds through their debut EP. What you're seeing on the cover of this thing is what you're getting within, a rush of desolate, textured Black Metal which seems far more aligned to the colder seasonal climes and pilgrimages unto a vast, empty wilderness than the urban/suburban envelope most listeners no doubt find themselves stuffed into for most of their waking hours.
As such, the music that WILT presented here, was well enough to grant that sense of distance, if not overwhelming in its choices of note progressions. WILT is far better suited to those who demand spacious, Depressive Black Metal than the incendiary, blast fueled regime of more technically oriented aggression.
WILT will occasionally throw a spurious, measured blast in your direction (like the intro to the 11 minute "Empyrean"), but their writing is meant to move with the certainty of an ancient monolith through its wintry woodland environs. -- War On Music – WOM052, Winter Wolf Records – WOM052
