WAXGOAT062 Ascalapha (US) - Fata Morgana - LP

Following up to 2022’s “Somber Vampyric Night”, Ascalapha from St. Louis, Missouri returned again with Fata Morgana, an album of excellent, thoughtfully composed Atmospheric Gothic Black Metal, overflowing with drama and tragedy, like the cover artwork so well evokes.

9 tracks of crushing beauty but deeply drenched in torment and sorrowful existentialism. Adorned with a tremendous guitar work, that ranges from cheer brutality to passages of spectral, shoegazing mists that engulf you in deep introspection, to moments of pulsating dread like the more Post-Hardcore inspired passages such as in “Stay With Me”, Ascalapha crafts a masterful record, brimming with heartfelt tension, mystery and a storm of deep and overwhelming emotions.

Now available on limited black vinyl.
