Reproach have been walking the line between death and black metal since 2006, building a sound that is simultaneously punishing and atmospherically charged — the blast-furnace intensity of death metal filtered through black metal's icy misanthropy. The project has maintained consistent activity over nearly two decades, a testament to the conviction behind the music. Ferocious and unrelenting.
