Single Review: Inherently Lost “Art of Corruption”
Industrial-infused
progressive black metal outfit Inherently Lost makes a commanding first
appearance in our magazine with their new single “Art of Corruption.”
Clocking in at 5 minutes and 25 seconds, the track delivers a slow,
heavy, and dark descent into humanity’s moral collapse—one that showcases the
band’s most ambitious and cinematic work to date.
From the
opening moments, the production stands out as clear, punchy, and
meticulously layered, allowing every mechanical rhythm, atmospheric synth,
and crushing guitar line to breathe. The dual-vocal dynamic between Mark
Moats and Noreen “Ice Queen” Javersak is one of the major strengths
of the song. Javersak’s haunting melodies introduce a chilling, dissonant aura
that elevates the track’s apocalyptic tone, while Moats’ feral growls and
piercing shrieks inject raw aggression and emotional weight.
Musically,
“Art of Corruption” unfolds like a slow-burning storm—dense, deliberate, and
suffocating. The band fuses elements of industrial, progressive metal, and
melodic black metal with impressive cohesion, creating a soundscape that feels
both expansive and claustrophobic. The track’s pacing is intentional, allowing
each riff and vocal line to strike with maximum impact as the song builds
toward its bleak conclusion.
Lyrically
and conceptually, the track is a thought-provoking reflection on
decay—societal, spiritual, and personal, delivered with poetic intensity.
The accompanying music video deepens this vision, immersing the listener in the
dystopian universe the band has been crafting since their debut.
With “Art
of Corruption,” Inherently Lost not only sets a high bar for their upcoming
full-length album, they solidify themselves as one of the most intriguing
genre-bending acts in the modern underground metal scene.
