CARACH ANGREN - Dance And Laugh Amongst The Rotten CD

Carach Angren are masters of horror-themed symphonic black metal and they are here to remind us of the genre’s true glory! Many have said that Carach Angren are basically early Dimmu Borgir on steroids. They are not wrong in the slightest but the Dutchmen take a more conceptual approach to their music than early Dimmu did. Many black metal purists also laud early Dimmu as the best that symphonic black metal has to offer. Given both of these ideas, it is quite surprising that Carach Angren tends to get such a bad rep from black metal purists. It seems like a double standard but such is the nature of the purists. Dance and Laugh Amongst the Rotten is the band’s fifth full-length album and while it may not be their best, it still has plenty to offer listeners.
