HMB´S REVIEW

"How It Ends" marks the tenth album by the Irish black metal group Primordial, hitting the shelves on September 29, 2023, through Metal Blade Records. The album boasts ten tracks, featuring titles like "How It Ends," "Ploughs to Rust, Swords to Dust," "We Shall Not Serve," "Traidisiúnta," "Call to Cernunnos," "All Against All," "Death Holy Death," and "Victory Has 1000 Fathers, Defeat Is An Orphan."

Recorded at Hellfire Studios on the outskirts of Dublin, the album was produced by the band and engineered by their previous collaborator, Chris Fielding. Despite its hour-long duration, each track delves deep into dramatic and intricate storytelling, making for a compelling and involved listening experience.

This musical creation is a fusion of Celtic and black metal, enriched with a heightened sense of urgency, confronting the looming apocalypse. Described as fiercely angry, defiant, visceral, and rebellious, the album serves as a musical declaration of resistance.
