Chao Abyssi "Rößel 1811" CD

CHAO ABYSSI is no idle. The dust has barely settled after the release of their excellent debut album, "Archaic Chants Of Chaotic Visions," and already another release is spinning in my CD player. This time, it's an EP titled "Rößel 1811". Thirty minutes of cold Black Metal, though the length might suggest a full album. And I admit, I initially thought so too.
Either way, the new material is in no way inferior to the full album released a few months ago. One might think that these six tracks are perhaps outtakes from the "Archaic Chants of Chaotic Visions" sessions, and since they didn't make it onto the full album, they're probably weaker than the songs featured there. No such thing. I don't know the history of the songs on this EP, but I do know they're very strong. Overall, "Rößel 1811" is a release with huge potential, and even though not much time has passed since the release of the full album, it seems to me that CHAO ABYSSI have recorded material that is slightly different from their predecessor. Above all, it's more atmospheric, more sentimental. Of course, it's still raw, cold Black Metal in the Scandinavian style, but with much more atmosphere. Even these two instrumental tracks are characterized by a strong emotional charge. The only track that stands out slightly from the rest is the aggressive, final "Apoteoza Nienawiści". And well, the title speaks for itself, although it also has its share of atmospheric passages.
If CHAO ABYSSI releases such excellent materials with such frequency, I am all for it. And if anyone had any doubts about the potential of this name after their debut, they shouldn't have any after this EP. A very good year for CHAO ABYSSI.
