"Convergence" CD by Shylmagoghnar

Appearing in a jewel case.

With album number 3, the one-man show SHYLMAGOGHNAR establishes itself definitively as one of the most captivating black metal acts! What began as a duo in 2004 has since evolved into a one-man band, but the atmospheric black metal act Shylmagoghnar presents itself harder and stronger than ever before on the upcoming new album, Convergence (available from November 10, 2023, via Napalm Records). Shylmagoghnar, led by multi-instrumentalist and founding member Nimblkorg, remains a completely self-produced project in the home studio. Convergence picks up where the previous two albums left off and is the final part of a trilogy. While the predecessors, the critically acclaimed Emergence (2014) and Transience (2018), invited the listener on a journey of human existence as well as through time and space, Convergence focuses on the path of death that one goes through before departing. The protagonist of the album is on the verge of dying, and the lyrics describe his emotional, philosophical, and psychedelic sensations. The new Shylmagoghnar album can also be understood as an allegory of learning - letting go of positive and negative themes from the past and finally finding inner peace. Musically, Shylmagoghnar delivers the perfect soundtrack, where raw heaviness meets pure elegy, and the destruction of harmony repeatedly makes room.
