about

'In Any Case, It Is Not The End Of Hostilities - Noise Arisk Black Metal' is Extreme Sound Detective’s sophomore release.

Since the premise of the intents of this recording, it was clear that it should be more visceral and more organic than the previous.

The balance had to be restored between the mind and the body.
It is composed of eleven relatively short tracks, and one outro meant to announce the sound of a future album.

The concept was to pay a tribute to the Norwegian second wave of Black Metal. Each song is a eulogy to the work of a band -MAYHEM, BURZUM, DARKTHRONE, EMPEROR, SATYRICON, THORNS, ENSLAVED, GORGOROTH, ULVER, and ZYKLON-B. These are not cover songs. Like in Expressionism, the subject and his essence are radically distorted to express the emotional experience of the listener.

Another parallel appeared during the preparation of the album. The researches on the Satanism that affected the Norwegian shores of music in the early 90'ties mirrored the ones of Durtal, the character of 'Là-bas', the book from the French author Joris-Karl Huysmans. In turn of the century, Durtal/Huysmans is already disgusted by the emptiness and decadence of the modern microcosm and bourgeois mentality. The spirituality present during the Middle-Ages was more tangible and meaningful. The new paradigm imposed by the industrial and French revolutions traded the faith in an afterlife against the faith in an apathetic future. So he begins to research the life of Gilles de Rais.

Finally, we discover that Satanism is not simply a characteristic from the past but it crossed time and space to persist as a spirituality freed of orthodox dogmas. A spiritually that is able to evolve with the expanding culture and the improving education of the proselyte, a spirituality that seeks enlightenment and that refuses the traditional superstitions.
