Desolate Unknown by Infera Bruo
Infera Bruo return with "Desolate Unknown," a distinct and endlessly inventive collection of progressive black metal flecked deep with moments of blackened death and grind, interspersed with some of the most original and unsettling ambient interludes in recent memory.
Featuring members of grindcore legends Trap Them, symphonic black metallers Bothildir, technical death monsters Pillory, and post-rock experimentalists Cul de Sac.

"'Desolate Unknown' confirms that Infera Bruo is one of the top acts the underground black metal scene has to offer in 2013." -Metal Underground (http://www.metalunderground.com/reviews/details.cfm?releaseid=11293)
"A solid, aggressive, and sometimes creepy piece of US Black Metal." -Apochs Metal Review (http://apochs.net/2/inferabruo-desolateunknown/)
"Infera Bruo tread their own, unique path through the wilds of progressive black metal." -Scratch the Surface (http://www.scratchthesurface-webzine.com/2013/07/infera-bruo-desolate-unknown-review.html)

"Knowing the diverse backgrounds of the members, it's no surprise that "Desolate Unknown" both adheres to and reaches beyond the standards of black metal." -Black Metal and Brews (http://blackmetalandbrews.blogspot.com/2013/08/new-releases-from-acephale-winter.html)
