Enochian Crescent presents at their third full length album Black Church a technical and modern Black Metal opus. With Tatan the record starts fast and with brute force, whereby the very varied shaped riffs suppress no feeling of catching. At all in those fast passages Tatan turns out very arid technical, the quiet and melodically periods however are very atmospheric. Tango Absinto also starts fast, but more fluent and easy to grasp, what firstly makes very aggressive, so Enochian Crescent knits a technical model yet, existing of several rhythm changes and melodically arrangements. Later on Enochian Crescent rids of at Black Church those initial brute parts and establish different shaped mid-tempi rhythms surrounded by playful and melodic guitars. Those diversified and technical accurately enacted compositions Enochian Crescent get done convincing, cause of setting very independent and unforeseeable ideas and attributes. However the tracks have a lack of fluent linearity and so on toughness that the technical experience of the musicians can't replace. That's obvious during those less fast passages being cutted up and effecting tenacious.

At all Black Church is a very varied and occasionally obscure record reminding at Gloomy Grim in its stratified melodic and rhythmic realization.
