Numenorean are black metal saviors for a new generation. You simply need to come back time and time again to better understand what is going on. There are simply so many layers at hand that it's impossible to turn away from what the band has conjured up. They force you to confront your innermost terrors and guide you through an all encompassing sonic experience. There are some tortured dudes in this band, and Numenorean capitalize on the vile inhumanity of this world. Sure there are some amazingly human moments (my album highlight is the bellows on "Devour") but at other times Numenorean almost feel like they are coming from another planet. Yet they bring in new elements too, and that's what keeps Home vibrant. It speaks to the power of Numenorean as musicians, that they understand so much from so many different time periods of their musical ancestry. ![]() Home is almost a romantic record in how it capitalizes on the most transcendent sides of black metal while simultaneously conjuring up images straight from the old school.

Black metal is at its best when it touches on the sublime.
