Chamber of Mirrors - Tales of Blood LP
Black vinyl editio
With Tales of Blood, their third and most punishing full-length to date, USBM act, CHAMBER OF MIRRORS deliver a cold blast of black metal fury that strikes from the very first note. A relentless assault on the senses, the album immerses listeners in a maelstrom of frostbitten aggression—but beneath the violence lies an intricate core of melody and bleak atmosphere that separates this release from mere chaos. While echoes of Demonaz-era Immortal can be heard in the icy foundations, Mortem's songwriting pushes far beyond simple homage. The riffs are monumental yet spectral—direct in attack but distant in feeling, casting a haunting shadow throughout the record. Subtle synth layers swirl within the storm, enhancing the sense of ancient mysticism and despair, and further defining CHAMBER OF MIRRORS' singular sound within the modern black metal landscape. Tales of Blood is a raw, immersive, and emotionally charged journey through the frozen darkness of ‘90s black metal traditions. It is not an easy listen—nor is it meant to be. But for those drawn to the cold fire of acts like Funeral Winds, Tsjuder, Akerbeltz, Cirith Gorgor, and Judas Iscariot, this album offers both savagery and substance. Recommended for fans of raw, atmospheric, and emotionally devastating black metal. Enter the CHAMBER OF MIRRORS—if you dare.
