It is a fairly rare occurrence that I find myself delving into the realm of black metal. Edmonton’s Idolatry is one of those black metal bands that I do, however, have some interest in. Perhaps it was my introduction to Idolatry at Farmageddon Open Air in 2014 that paved the way.
Late in 2014, Idolatry released a demo of four songs. For those interested in underground black metal with a purely old-school Norwegian feel, it is definitely worth looking into downloading from the band’s last.fm page. This is a band that is committed to its principles, which I feel comes through in the music itself. While I have typically enjoyed black metal more live than from recordings, this is a band worth keeping an eye on.
The demo consists of four tracks:
- Catechlysm
- The Stygian Creed
- The Age of Disgust
- Of Myth and Shadow
