"Beneath the Threshold" represents AUSTERE in the here and now. With their fourth full-length the Australians have taken a long step into the present and embrace their musical future in a way that might have been expected after a 13-year hiatus. When their voluntary break ended with the release of "Corrosion of Hearts" in 2023, the duo consisting of Mitchell Keepin and Tim Yatras returned with a more mature and defined version of their own particular style of black metal, which reflected both their greater experience and evolution as artists. While "Corrosion of Hearts" formed the bridge between the band's musical history and the artists' fresh vision, "Beneath the Threshold" takes a leap of expression. AUSTERE's sonic heritage is still alive. Even though their roots in early Norse black metal and its depressive Scandinavian offspring continue to shine through, it is also apparent that the Australians have audibly strengthened their emotional expressiveness and previous blackgaze leanings beyond the point where a stylistic shift towards the latter needs to be diagnosed. On "Beneath the Threshold", AUSTERE offer more hooks and melodic harmonies to complement the multi-layered, harsh and dreamlike guitar textures expertly woven by Keepin with the aid of Yatras' emotive drumming. This development is emphasised by a suitable production that lets each of the elements shine and does not try to blur the riffs. For AUSTERE the stars under the Southern Cross have newly aligned and the harsh majestic beauty of "Beneath the Threshold" calls out to everyone to raise their eyes up to the night sky around the globe and behold the finally unleashed Australian band in its full musical glory.

A good work
Good morning @Prophecy Productions. You just made my day better, been looking forward to this release since its announcement. Let's dive in!
My special book edition lies here. Austere forever ! \m/ I'm soo glad, these guys are back. Listening to Austere since 2008. My fave ones are The sunset of life, and Faded Ghost. But the whole album is great, all songs.
Acest album esto o calatorie prin universul durerii.Greetings from Romania🤘
Életem végéig maradok, a DSBM és a DBM- nél, de ezek a dalok bemásztak a fejembe és szeretném, ha ottmaradnának. Nagyszerű munka.
As one of the first DSBM bands I listened to, they hold a special place for me. This was exactly what my soul needed. Glad they are back
I didn't know that they are back!!!!
A great job, it makes you enter an impressive and reassuring atmosphere.
great to hear a new album from this band again and its very good well done
Sorrow! Oh Desolate! Thank thee from the bottom of my heart!
Finally hell yeah❤🔥🤘🏻💀
Wow! Just awesome! 🤘🏼🖤🔥
Excelentní album 👌💣💥 😈🤘
Awesome 👌
That was pretty good.
El gran retorno de Austere
На диво сподобався альбом. Був налаштований скептично.
Це звісно не 2009, але також непогано. Такий собі сучасний поп-блек в стилі Harakiri for the sky i є вплив Katatonia кінця 90-их.
Хм, имхо Austere мрачнее стали после воссоединения. Конечно не депресуха вроде Bethlehem или Malvery, но релизы конца 00х кажутся чуть-чуть по-светлее их нового материала.
@@alexbabkov5935а мені - ні. Еталон для мене особисто це "To Lay Like...".
A тут ну Katatonia сама натуральна. Особливо початок 4-ого треку.
Я не кажу що це погано, лише констатую що група набула інше звучання і розвивається у цьому напрямку.
Capolavoro. Masterpiece.
Beautiful music
*What happened to Austere? Where did he go ? I only heard something similar to Agalloch. Come back please !*
phenomenal album
i absolutely love it!
🎉🎉🎉
Ótimo álbum 👏👏👏
oh this is great. Melodic and sad.
Ive truned old waiting them
Same. Time waits for noone 😞
Es impresionante la esencia, realmente no está mal pero como espectador y fanático de este proyecto en sus inicios, el sentimiento y las melodías no es lo mismo, ni cerca.
Just found out they released two albums in the last two years. And I use my piracy-made Austere hat almost every day!
❤
I see the 13-year hiatus ended in an explosion of creativity. The past is in the past, it was a long time, and the present that Austere shapes before our ears is a welcome one for me.
"The sunset of life" is my favourite track, although it took 5 listens to break through and fully appreciate its qualities. Many Austere sound-weaves are nuanced and subtle, they require the effort and attention to unravel, and this feature is the most pronounced on this track. It fluctuates between vastly different moods, from uplifting and hopeful to crushing and bleak. I visualize it as a carpet of pearls, shimmering beneath the shallow waves of a frigid sea.
"Faded ghost" is a spacious doomy ballad with clean vocals giving it a distinct country feel. The emergence of this singing throughout the album is a constant reminder that you're listening to a non-european band. While the vocals here easily evoke images of arid Australian expanses, the guitars carry them on their freezing waves - the opposites in balance again.
Hearing "Cold cerecloth" as a single I experienced a light shock, because it was the band's most un-Austere track, yet it sounded organic during the full album listen. Had a chuckle hearing a sped-up riff from the end of "Sullen" at the end of this song - an echo from their recent past.
Massive and intimidating "Of severance" made an impressive closing for the album, an unforgiving ocean crushing everything under its bitter black waves.
I just recently got into the whole "scandinavian melo-melancholy" (depressive rock/melodic doom) and infusion of this type of sound into Austere-typical soundscapes is like a balm to the ears. I know plenty of people balked at the new direction Austere has taken, but as long as this is a sincere evolution coming from the heart, and it doesn't sound like a hack job, I can't complain.
The new album has a streamlined flow that wasn't always present on the previous one - it seems the guys figured out exactly how they want to sound, leaving the dissonant meanderings in the past. Sometimes I have a problem getting into a black metal recording because of the high-pitched wall of riffage that slashes at the eardrums, but Austere is a relief in that regard. The whole sound on BtT is shifted towards the lower end and the leads don't assault the ears. All this gives the sound a cushioned, warm quality, yet simultaneously that scratchy-icy character black metal is known for is also present. It takes mastery to unify the polar opposites, both in music and in the moods it aims to evoke.
P.S.
Looking at the cover now I see where all the birds from the logo have migrated. They must've taken off after the flock from "Corrosion of hearts" to their current destination.
I know Tim has ties to Russia and lived there for a while. It would've been nice if he could get a bunch of physical copies into the country and distribute them there. We can't purchase Austere merch otherwise, not for a reasonable price anyway.
Jót tesz az emberrel, ha ad időt önmagának fellélegezni, megújulni, ahogy azt a természet is teszi. Mindenkinek szüksége van erre.
🤟💪🤟
Beautiful album, can't stop listening to it!
Is this a new singer or just better vocal production either way wow
Перевод на русский
The most underwhelming Austere record ever. The tracks are so bad and skippable except the last one. The mixing is horrendous too.
