Shine – Wrathcult

Description

Born from the grips of the Pandemic, Shine are the newest brainchild of Hazael’s Tomasz Dobrzeniecki, and their first album ‘Wrathcult’ leaves no doubt that a new force in Polish extreme metal has awakened.

Inspired by the likes of Emperor, Bathory, Morbid Angel, Entombed and Dismember, Dobrzeniecki’s new outfit channels that lineage into something raw, relentless and unmistakably its own.

Dark Descent Records have previously collaborated with Dobrzeniecki on the reissue of Hazael’s classic opus. ‘Wrathcult’ continues in similar thematic territory, invoking forgotten ancestral knowledge and tapping into primal forces and mythic echoes of a pre-Christian world.

The album was recorded at Heinrich House Studio in Legionowo, Poland – a small city on the outskirts of Warsaw that holds an important place in metal history, being the hometown of Daray (Dimmu Borgir, Vesania), Orion (Behemoth, Vesania) and Heinrich (Vesania, Decapitated).

An uncompromising slab of ancient fury awaits.
