After releasing a demo and an EP, the Italian black metal one-man-band Ergot ended March 2015 with the releasing of the debut album “Victims Of Our Same Dreams” via De Tenebrarum Principio.
There are bands and albums that from the beginning show what they are all about, but that’s not the case with Ergot. After a long intro driven by a dark ambient sound with a ritualistic touch, comes a straight black metal song, titled “Red Shining Moon”, in which a raw and cold musical canvas is presented, with the final detail of a heavy metal guitar solo reminding of black metal’s early days - regarding the bands that came to surface through heavy metal instead of those who had a punkish pace and sound.
