INFERNO REQUIEM | 黑冥煞 (TW) - Nüwa 女媧 BUY CD | BUY DIGITAL Nüwa, the new conceptual album from Taiwan black metal master 黑冥煞 Inferno Requiem in 2017, represent both something old-fashioned as well as new blending if people are quite acquainted with knowledge regarding black metal. The theme takes place of a legendary myth to the utterly forgotten tale in Chinese history. While considered "unholy," "unorthodox" by some; it is bold to hypothesize alternative opinions compared to the so-called "common history" we read and brain-washed today. As Inferno Requiem always does, sci-fi elements are rendered within the contents, with tone of forewarning prophecy. Musically the album is just pure primitive black metal, represent in the pattern of freezing atmosphere, which true black metal once was. Simultaneously, the entire scene setting is arranged within the likes of sick, thick fog; reverberating in a dark, solitude of cavernous space. Recommend for fans of Judas Iscariot, early Setherial, and early Gorgoroth. GHâSH (CL) - Goat BUY CD | BUY DIGITAL

The project started in late 2010 as a cathartic process, and visceral manifestation of melancholy and the struggle between hopefulness and hopelessness. It released an eponymous album in early 2011 through Mexican label Self Mutilation Services, which garnered good reviews and reactions. This album, in the vein of Alcest, Lantlôs and other post-black metal / blackgaze bands was sung in native language Portuguese.
It laid dormant for 5 years, until late 2016, when Alex got working on a new album. This new album is a fully instrumental release, drawing somewhat away from the earlier black metal elements and embracing a more post-metal sonority. Wistful has been up to now a strictly studio-based project, but is in the process of recruiting live members to start playing live in late 2017!
