 Now here is the first truly interesting and enjoyable Black Metal record of 2010. Avsky, meaning disgust in Swedish, have spat out their 3rd full length album in the shape of ‘Scorn’, a ripping thrash through old Darkthrone, Gorgoroth and Horna. Coming up just the right side of necro to hear all the intricate beauty of the instruments working in harmony, the production still manages to retain an frosty, otherworldly feel to it. Add to this some truly tortured sounding vocals from TO in the vein of old Darkthrone and a compelling mix of Black Metal styles and tempos, this album, keeps you in it’s icy grip from start to finish. Personal favourites of mine include ‘Dead End’, with its pitch-black atmosphere building into a storm of blasting a shrieking; and black thrash opener ‘As the Mountains Collapse’.  Avsky sound like a band that is dedicated to their craft and has now fully spread their creative wings and soared to new heights. Scorn is an album you can keep going back to and it will still kick you in the guy with its sheer passion and ferociousness, a true gem of the underground.
