BROTHERS DAN AND James Scrivener wanted to be black metal’s next breakout superstars. As musicians, their niche for a long time was in incessant aggression and shrieking vocals. But then they got bored.
“The most recent previous one was a band called Aklash,” remembers Dan, talking with Prog via video call. “James left that band four years ago or so.”
“Black metal was never really my [genre],” James adds. “I enjoyed a couple of bands, but it wasn’t a genre I’d particularly listen to. I was listening more to postrock and post-metal at the time.”
