Intense, scintillating and atmospheric in its own way, the music of Vorga is bound to leave an impression. The music has emotive depth and a stirring quality that will convince even the hardened listeners of their prowess. Metal Injection premiered their artistically shot official video recently AT THIS LINK. This is one of the most exciting releases in the style this year!
“It’s an unrelenting trek into the void where even the seemingly quieter parts have a certain sinister air about them, and man does it work”

Following a stunning debut EP in ‘Radiant Gloom’ which landed them a label deal, German black metal band Vorga return with an absolutely scintillating full length that expands upon the music on their debut and takes it to new heights. The sound is more powerful and streamlined than ever before, while remaining intense and sufficiently scathing but not so much so as to blur out the gleaming melodies that add a dimension to the band’s atmospheric and otherworldly music. Similar to the sci-fi themed black metal label mates Imperialist, Vorga seem influenced by Dissection but do so much more and sonically are operating almost as an atmospheric black metal band. It’s easy to get lost in the intense and engaging soundscapes Vorga create, making the listener mentally traverse endless galaxies and remain enraptured by it all, as they weave together compelling riff after riff, ensuring that no time is wasted during the extraterrestrial journey. This is one of the best and most emphatic expressions of this style, leaving no stone unturned in ensuring a fulfilling, edge-of-the-seat experience that’s both refreshing and unforgettable.
