With "Khàsma", the brasilian duo Khazad Dûm reaches its peak by today. That's not your average old school album. Style coordinates are pointed towards first-wave Black Metal with strong influences from NWOBHM and Doom Metal. A pathos of epicness, atmospheres, rage and melancholy permeates the whole record. The dynamism of the composition doesn't excessively sacrifice the old-school structures of the songs, but enriches them through melodic embroidery and strenghtened rhythms. FFO: first-era Bathory, Venom, Saxon, Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, Pagan Altar, Trouble.
Originally released in 2019 but lacking of a proper edition, Masked Dead Records and BloodRock Records gave new life to Khàsma through a remastered CD edition with bonus track.
