A four-song EP that came out in 2006, Let Clarity Succumb from Chaos Moon seems to have been overlooked by alot of black metal fans, which is probably in large part due to the fact that the label Nails Of Christ that released this ended up going down the tubes not long after it came out. But this is one disc that fans of trippy uber-Satanic black metal really need to check out. Chaos Omen is the solo project of Necromorbus, aka Tore Stj�rna, who you might recognize as a former member of Funeral Mist, Ofermod, Watain, Blackwitch, doomsters Nex, and a host of other equally blackened outfits. For Chaos Moon, Necromorbus plays all of the instruments and delivers all of the vocals, and this four song/23 minute disc serves up a solid and ripping dose of raw Swedish black metal that reminds me a bit of Watain and Funeral Mist, sans FM's propensity for the abstract sound scupltures that they dole out on their albums, and at the same time I hear some of that progressive black metal of bands like Glorior Belli and Deathspell Omega in here as well. His vocals are hideous choking rasps run through a wall of delay FX and sent hurtling into the meatgrinder blastbeats and epic, textured black riffs that make up the songs "Glare As I Reveal", "To Admit And Allow", "Let Clarity Succumb", and "Old Wounds". There are some really cool riffs that break off into weird mathy forms or waltzy black rhythms and lush dissonant arpeggios, and these alternate with the more straightforward droning riffs and blazing tempos to excellent effect. Definitely one for fans of forward thinking black metal.
