LEVIATHAN – “True Traitor, True Whore” Complete

Notorious U.S. black metal enigma LEVIATHAN have completed work on the most controversial and already the most talked-about album of mastermind Wrest’s extensive repertoire, of course the infamously titled new album “True Traitor, True Whore”.

Different and more unique than anything LEVIATHAN have ever carved out (especially considering this is the first LEVIATHAN album to be fully realized in an actual studio environment, courtesy of Sanford Parker), with “True Traitor, True Whore”, multi-instrumentalist Wrest delivers what is probably one of the most introverted, claustrophobic, disturbing, maniacal, progged-out, and eerily beautiful LEVIATHAN albums yet.  While upholding the traditional black metal elements synonymous with Wrest’s take on progressive black metal, the psychosis inherent within “True Traitor, True Whore” also heavily hints on elements of classic krautrock, and ‘80s dark rock, pop, and post punk respectively, almost as if “True Traitor, True Whore” is LEVIATHAN’s rock album, or possibly even black metal’s answer to early Cure or Fields Of The Nephilhim.

To be officially released Nov 8th, tracklisting for “True Traitor, True Whore” goes as follows:

1.    True Whorror
2.    Her Circle Is The Noose
3.    Bring Up To This Bottom
4.    Contrary Pulse
5.    Shed This Skin
6.    Every Orifice Yawning Her Price
7.    Harlot Rises
8.    Blood Red And True

A.M.S.G. forever.
