Inexorum - Lore of the Lakes
Review by Loris Righetto
Inexorum's album, Lore of the Lakes, is a masterpiece of melodic black metal that takes the listener on a journey through the beauty and majesty of the natural world. From the opening notes of "Ouroboric State," the listener is transported to a realm of soaring guitar riffs, thundering drums, and haunting vocals that evoke the power and mystery of the lakes and forests of the band's native Minnesota.
Throughout the album, Inexorum weaves together elements of classic black metal with more progressive and atmospheric influences, creating a sound that is both deeply rooted in tradition and thoroughly modern in its approach. Tracks like "Let Pain Be Your Guide" and "To Omega" showcase the band's technical prowess and songwriting skills, while the epic title track builds to a climax of soaring guitars and thundering drums that leave the listener breathless.
But what truly sets Lore of the Lakes apart is the emotion and passion that infuses every note and lyric. Whether exploring themes of loss and grief on "A Wandering Star" or celebrating the power of the natural world on "The Waves of Fate," Inexorum imbues each song with a sense of urgency and intensity that is impossible to ignore.

- From Gilead Media:
- "Started in 2017 as the solo project of Carl Skildum (Antiverse, Threadbare, live guitarist for Obsequiae, Majesties, and more) and now featuring the RIAA-certified gold producer Matt Kirkwold, Inexorum present their debut album “Lore Of The Lakes”. An ode to the spirit of 90’s black metal, “Lore of the Lakes” sees Skildum and Kirkwold at the height of their musical writing prowess.
- Melodic guitar harmonies cascade against driving rhythms and capture that same sense of exhilaration and aggression that formative bands such as Dawn, Sacramentum, and more have pioneered in years past.
- Recorded and mixed at the home of Skildum in Minnesota, “Lore of the Lakes” is an album that deals with the ebbs and flows of perseverance, even in the face of inevitable loss. “Our time is finite,” Skildum says, “but each of us has the power to reshape the world in small but meaningful ways.”
- A deeply personal record, “Lore of the Lakes” is destined to be one of 2018’s most compelling and sonically evocative albums."
