CDs Chiaroscuro EP #191504
Description
Release Date: March 28, 2025
Unholy Anarchy Records is very proud to release the debut EP of local Baltimore melodic black death metal act CHIAROSCURO. As described by singer Cassiopeia, "Chiaroscuro is a converging point of careful study and artistic impulse, conducted through an interpretation of melodic extreme metal forms."
"All the head-spinning tempo changes and varying episodes of fretwork delirium are eye-popping, but so is the suddenly melodic but also fret-burning guitar solo and a suddenly soft and jazzy interlude that serves as a prelude to a grim and grievous march. The vocals are utterly berserk from beginning to end, which is fitting for music this wild. An appropriate genre classification for the song will have a fuckload of hyphens in it." - No Clean Singing
Cover Art by George Cruikshank, of "The Drunkard's Children" series, Plate VIII (1848) “The Maniac Father and the Convict Brother are Gone -- The Poor Girl, Homeless, Friendless, Deserted, Destitute, and Gin Mad, Commits Self Murder.”
