Litha – Litha Review

“You know the type of black metal. Somewhere between floaty atmospherics, and a raw fuzz, where snarling screams ring out over tremolos that are just that bit too indistinct to be straightforwardly driving. Where the energy is uniformly bleak and apathetic, whether you’re hearing blastbeats or no percussion at all. Herein lies Litha, the project of ambient composer and Mizmor collaborator Andrew Black. Unlike his other solo work, Litha is unpolished and angry, as well as differing wildly in the literal musical sense of being black metal. This is deliberate, with Black stating his desire to express his anger and pain through a more appropriate outlet that can do for him what ambient music can’t.” Paintracks.
