JASSA - Lights In The Howling Wilderness LP

Jassa are a black metal band based in Vyritsa, Russia. Metal Archives lists their debut album from 2012 named Dark Years of Dearth, and they now have a new one called Lights in the Howling Wilderness.

The album pulses with vibrant energy and juxtaposes bestial growls, blistering rasps, and an earth-shaking low end with waves of engrossing guitar melody. It also transitions into a hard-rocking segment that gets the head moving (reprised at the end) before another burst of riveting intensity punctured by the gut-busting boom of drums.
