Argar - Grim march to black eternity review - 95%

lordnausea, November 20th, 2007

“Grim march to black eternity” is (sadly) Argar´s last album. For this album they signed with a international strong label, Solistitium, as result of the great level showed in their previous works.

In this final act the band shows their best form, reaching their most compact, complete and dark album. They manage to play black melodic metal without falling down in a commercial or overproduced sound and without losing an apex of darkness and crudeness in their sound. Great roaring guitars played by Gangreal and Darshan, drums really well worked by Black´et, one of the most personal and evil voices ever singed by Ur Profanum, and adorning all Nocturnoz with the magic of a extraordinary keyboards sign of identity of all their works. Incredible atmosphere, great sound, brilliant technical quality in all the instruments: melodies remembering the best melodic black metal bands as Emperor or Odium, long songs with many details along them sign of their technical level and maturity composing songs, a powerful production that contributes to create a distant, lugubrious, cold sound... Of all their material I think this is their darkest album, a majestic monument constructed of glooms.

This is the end of Argar´s discography, eternally they will be one of the greatest and most talented black metal bands in Spain, and with this album they showed it and left no place to doubt.
