Encompassing Nothingness

Jana During my 1 AM ceiling sessions, when I feel trapped in life, fed up with everything and everyone, this music is my mental sanctuary. Favorite track: Norrsken.

acaDamien The music matches the cover art. Misty and chilling with incredible beauty to it. A work that has incredible riffs, coarse vocals that stir the soul, and synth work that does not over power and instead elevates the music. Favorite track: Norrsken.

Urso X Matthew Bell was my 2023 artist OTY for his work in Tjaktjadálvve, Mjältsjuka, and many other fine projects, and this gorgeous new record (thankfully!) continues in the same vein.

AcaDamien 💯 nailed the review, so no need to elaborate further :) Favorite track: Encompassing Nothingness.

bmurator Swedish Depressive Black Metal. A one man, Matthew Bell, project. Matthew is hugely talented as amply evidenced by his rich dicography & the available track! So all that is left for me to do it wait patiently & this is easier said than done... :) Highly recommended!!!

about

Brought forth by the Sweden-based multi-instrumentalist Matthew Bell (Autumn's Dawn, Austere live & many more), TJAKTJADÁLVVE is an Atmospheric Black Metal project now at its third full-lenght release. "Encompassing Nothingness" perfectly blends the sorrow of depression-tinged black metal with the coldness, thrill and melancholy of its atmospheric kind, guiding the listener through his low-paced and synth-driven scenarios. With a neat production and dreadful vocals, the musical journey that this album encloses can't reward the listener more than so.

FFO: Woods of Desolation, Austere, Panopticon, Mesarthim.
