Sear Bliss
Sear Bliss has been been a mainstay in the Hungarian
underground scene for well over a decade, the brainchild
of vocalist/bassist Andras Nagy who formed the band back
in 1993.
Essentially, their style is rooted in black metal (Nagy's vocals,
in particular, are classic black in nature), with some gothic
undertones to give the songs a bit of a majestic feeling.
The most distinguishing feature of this band, without question,
is their use of horns, as they employ a trombonist as a
full-time member (and previously, a trumpeter) and feature
horns frequently throughout their songs.
Though at times the horn interludes seem forced, they are
a nice contrast, and a clear originality factor.
Their inclusion has understandable turned off some, but
others (this listener included) welcome their uniqueness.
Upcoming album: Heavenly Down ,
release date June 2024.
