Black Aleph’s new single, Return, immerses listeners in an atmosphere of melancholy, loss, and inevitable doom. As the second offering from their upcoming album Apsides (out October 25 on Art As Catharsis/Dunk! Records), this track showcases the band’s unique take on deconstructed doom and post-metal.
Following the cinematic grandeur of their first single, Descent, Return unveils a different side of their sound. A moody chord progression cycles over a melodic loop, patiently unfolding over four-and-a-half minutes. The interplay of guitar and cello weaves rich textures, evoking a haunting sense of loss reminiscent of genre behemoths Godspeed You! Black Emperor. With their distinctive instrumentation, Black Aleph crafts a spiritual journey through sound, leaving listeners deeply moved.
