Spiritual Catharsis

by Striborg

supported by

popetones This is an absurdly good album for ANY GENRE. If you are into atmosphere, low fi recording that still maintains awesome dynamics, you cannot go wrong with this

Metallurgical Fire A mandatory classic, Spiritual Catharsis is the quintessential Striborg album, and it has influenced legions of other bands. Favorite track: Beneath the Fields of Rapacious Blood.

Danphibian spooky to the core
Favorite track: Beneath the Fields of Rapacious Blood.

abigorum666 My favorite album of Striborg! Atmosphere of spirits, amazing music!

Underground4life666 Best Striborg Album Ever. Favorite track: Beneath the Fields of Rapacious Blood.

Ellery Beard Darkthrone once said that "Under A Funeral Moon" was the only true black metal album they produced. Thinking along the same lines, we might say that "Spiritual Catharsis" is the only true black metal album produced by anyone. The fermented essence of unsettling evil. Favorite track: Within the Depths of Darkness and Sorrow.

This Silent Distance
by Scent of Silence

Fantastic DSBM from Italy with coldwave and shoegaze influences. Basically this album sounds like a black metal version of Lycia! Striborg

Youth in Ribbons
by Revenant Marquis

supported by 28 fans who also own “Spiritual Catharsis”

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode

I like the atmosphere/low-fi approach to Revenant Marquis, but it's hard to top Lamp of Murmuur right now. Great stuff! Sean TPLTR
