NOENUM - Fiery Path 10" GATEFOLD MLP

In late 2022 came the unexpected return of the Finnish duo of Noenum after an absence that lasted well over a decade. However, upon the release of their debut full-length album ‘Heresiarch’ in 2022 the band showed that their primitive Finnish Black Metal had not lost any of its intensity and authenticity in the years since their previous release. This productivity didn’t end there however, as some months after the release of the album on CD and coinciding with its release on vinyl, Northern Heritage presents the latest Noenum release, the 10” EP ‘Fiery Path’

With two songs and an intro and outro, ‘Fiery Path’ delivers 16 minutes of new material. Like the full-length, these songs were recorded during 2022 and judging by the production they could very well have been part of the ‘Heresiarch’ recording sessions. ‘Fiery Path’ certainly has the similar authentic and stripped-down sound, with clear room for the raw Black Metal riffs, the nicely analog-sounding drums and Spell’s possessed vocals. And in terms of the music, the songs ‘Fiery Path’ and ‘River of the Ancient Blood’ are very much in line with the album as well.
