Listening Recs #1 - Ashenspire Speak Not of the Laudanum Quandary

An honestly stellar release from the group behind one of my favorite albums of all time (Hostile Architecture) and a step ahead of a lot of the avant-garde BM that has been released in the past few years. The vocals are probably the most interesting part for me at least as the vocalist takes a more punk based approach to vox rather than the screeched/howled/screamed/growled vocals that are pretty status quo in black metal. Overall I would rate this album an 8/10 as there are some places to improve (Track 5 and 1 are a little too iffy for me) but other than that an absolutely stunning release from some awesome people.
