"Howling from beyond the shimmering mirrorverse of million myths, shattered pieces of glass penetrating the modernist moral mercy of those weak of woe, tyranny of the tower foul, hunts in stench of blood that entity only known in ranting herald of Wulvyr. Birthed from Albionic of woven womb in the age of 2021, Wulvyr’s debut demo, MMXXI, was a torrent of tormented defiance, one that would act as a bloodstained stepping stone towards its second assault upon the monotheism of the mundane. For only by the mould fragrant fury of Under the Dark Soil, does this gnosis of lore long lost, now retained, come to acolytes in spectacle of physical artefact.
Folkgnosis is the soul splitting sacrifice to the myriad of immortals faded into the mouldering pages of history. A truly tremendous cacophony of raw black metal, Folkgnosis is a powerful rendering of dreadful dirge, one that will strip the spirit from any experiencing its furious onslaught of blast beat bastard hammer execution. Collecting its eight sided star spells in wonderful contrast of composition, Wulvyr here unleashes a crusade of fist striking chord cruelty, shrieking vocal vicious rotation, unrelenting percussive unmerciful patterns, discordant reverb rancid production, and chilling ambient passages that provide the perfect contrast to the frenzy most spells drown those experiencing it within. A tornado of tome incineration to bring sadistic salvation to those seeking only the empower of potent punishment.

While previous albums were recorded in a haunted dungeon in a land where sunlight is a myth, this album sounds a bit brighter and more inviting. Take that as you will. Turd Ferguson
