Echtra stream album Paragate in full

Apochs.net is currently streaming Echtra’s Paragate in its entirety. The criminally underrated second full-length from Oregon’s favourite atmospheric blackened drone project was released earlier this year through China-based Temple Of Torturous Records. Check it out here.

Obliterating genre conventions in favour of the creation of an immersive sound world, Echtra’s Paragate integrates the distortion and vigour of black metal sonics with the resolve and earthiness of acoustic song craft. Arpeggios swirl in etheric spirals, augmenting and negating each other in a dance of intimateness, rhythms altering and disappearing altogether as they herald of the stations of the Seeker’s peregrination.
