Fornicus - Storming Heaven

Review by Alexander

Storming Heaven is the third studio album by American black metal band Fornicus, released on October 15th, 2021. The album features eight tracks of aggressive and atmospheric black metal, with a focus on the themes of spiritual warfare and the battle between light and darkness.

The album starts off with the track "Throne of Fire", which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its fast-paced drumming and blistering guitar riffs. The vocals are harsh and raw, adding to the overall intensity of the track. This is followed by "The Godless Inferno", which features a slower, more atmospheric sound, with haunting guitar melodies and eerie chanting in the background.

Other standout tracks on the album include "The Abhorrent Depths", which features a memorable chorus and some impressive guitar solos, and "Cleansing Inferno", which has a more melodic sound and some interesting tempo changes. The album closes with "Storming Heaven", a 10-minute epic that showcases the band's ability to create a sense of grandeur and epicness in their music.

Summary by Alexander

Storming Heaven is a solid release from Fornicus, showcasing the band's ability to create intense and atmospheric black metal. While the album may not be groundbreaking or particularly innovative, it is a well-crafted and enjoyable listen for fans of the genre.
