“With Arms Like Wands” is yet another example of the band’s skill at integrating different styles of music within a framework of black metal — and it’s also as intense and intensely moving as anything they’ve done to date.
It storms right from the start with a surging hail of riffs, torrential drumming, rapid-fire bass munitions, and throat-tearing acidic howls. After that rousing start, the storm subsides, passing into a somber yet poignant mid-section that features a heart-wrenching guitar solo as Keenan Nathan Oakes’ shrieks reach new heights of soul-rending anguish. But as good as the first half of the song is, it still hasn’t reached its peak.
The power of the music builds again, driven by an intense drum performance, with layers of rippling guitar chords magnifying the music’s emotional appeal. The song reaches its crescendo in a high, trilling guitar melody that reaches out and seizes attention in a way that’s electrifying — and even then, one more affecting guitar melody still awaits before the song fades away.
As a first single from the album, “With Arms Like Wands” is a great choice — but it’s only the first of many gems in a superb album that’s going to re-focus the world’s attention on a very talented band from a far-away place (and we will have much more to say about it when the time is right) - www.nocleansinging.com

Three years have passed since Wildernessking burst upon the global metal scene with their critically praised debut album The Writing of Gods In the Sand. The band have not been idle since then, releasing two well-received EPs – …And the Night Swept Us Away (2012) and The Devil Within (2014) – as well as tracks for split releases in 2014 and early 2015. But based on some advance listening we’ve been lucky to experience, Mystical Future represents their most accomplished and powerful music yet. More cohesive, more dynamic in its scope, and more personal in its lyrical focus, the album represents a significant step ahead for a band who have already made a big impact in a short space of time. Though Wildernessking’s already demonstrated talent for writing sweeping, impassioned, and memorable melodies is still very much in evidence, what we’ve heard from Mystical Future is even more dark, intense, and electrifying. The music combines the harrowing ferocity of black metal and searing, acidic vocals with vibrant, multi-textured melodies that will send listeners on a dramatic journey through shifting moods they won’t soon forget. It’s an album that’s ambitious in its conception and truly impressive in its execution, and it will undoubtedly further elevate Wildernessking’s reputation as a band to watch very closely.
- NO CLEAN SINGING

WILDERNESSKING "I Will Go To Your Tomb" VIDEO PREMIERE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJnyHXn_dbM
I’ve been trying to find a place for Cape Town, South Africa's Wildernessking on Invisible Oranges for some time. Their 2012 album The Writing of Gods in the Sand came across my radar at a time when I felt a tremendous optimism for black metal. PANOPTICON’s Kentucky had just been released and most people were only hearing Cormorant’s Dwellings for the first time. I felt the genre embracing folkish melodies and aiming for elegant musicianship.
The years since have not born that future out completely but Wildernessking still play slick, melodic and engrossing black metal on their upcoming second album, Mystical Future. Producer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Crowhurst) has polished their aforementioned Cormorant-isms to a mirror shine, as evident in “I Will Go to Your Tomb.”
Wildernessking applied the same polish to the “I Will Go to Your Tomb” music video as well. Some creative editing and high-contrast photography come together to create a video that celebrates the landscape and traditional culture of South Africa while hinting at the country’s troubled and often violent past.
