These legendary Norwegian black metal avant-gardists (guitarist Alexander Nordgaren and jack-of-all-trades Svein Egil Hatlevik, also a member of D�dheimsgard and Zweizz) return with a vengeance on this two song 7", the second to be released on Aesthetic Death. It's some of their first new material since their 2000 album Department Of Apocalyptic Affairs, and is the most ferocious stuff that I've heard of theirs since the classic Min Tid Skal Komme.

"Summon The Beast" is very different from the re-worked older songs that were featured on the previous 7", a gloomy mid-paced dirge with the strange, dramatic vocals of Ayna B. Johansen who coos, croons, and shrieks over this angular, doom-laden darkness. But then the second half erupts into an awesome swarm of buzzing black metal flecked with strange rock moves and guitar textures, and I keep thinking that it's almost like a black metal version of So I Had To Shoot Him, part warped apocalyptic pop, part murderous black blast. Fucking awesome. The other side is called "Animal Of The City" and kicks off with blasting drums and swarming dissonant riffing, this time fronted by choked, frantic male vocals over a chaotic, black metal assault that veers into those odd, double-bass driven mathy parts that have always been a part of Fleurety's sound and feels like it's tearing itself apart at the seams. There are more of those great female backing vocals, and the sound is amazing, proggy and vicious and advanced.

I hope that this is just the start of a revitalized Fleurety, and that an album won't be too far behind...
