DIE ENTWEIHUNG - "Yesterday" (video)

A few days ago there was a new video from Die Entweihung (Israel) for the song "Yesterday" from the 2022 album Strict Regime Country. The concept for the album is explained on Bandcamp: "...This album is dedicated to the people of Belarus who suffered or still suffer (and probably will suffer) from the regime of the self-proclaimed president who has been leading the country to hell since 1994. The lyrical concept is mainly based on the events that happened in Belarus in 2020 after another false elections."

Below is the video from YouTube. Then, below the video, you will find a previous article from this publication about Die Entweihung, in case that you have not seen it yet.

Die Entweihung is the solo project of Belarus native Denis Tereschenko who now resides in Israel. According to Metal Archives, the project began in 2007. The newest album is called Strict Regime Country, a commentary on the political situation in Belarus. Tereschenko is a hard-working musician devoted to the craft of do-it-yourself, mostly in the realm of melodic black/thrash/death in broad terms without necessarily staying squarely within the limits of a subgenre. Given the numerous albums and the experience gained, Tereschenko shows a certain confidence and skill in the way that the music allows room for melodies to roam free and for other smaller elements to make their presence felt, be it a bit of a prog vibe in some places or having some guests to add some other voices and a couple of guitar solos. For the sake of convenience, if I had to make a general statement on the overal sound, I would say that it is melodic, somewhat prog, midtempo black metal-influenced music.

It is the 11th album. That's not counting demos and EPs, of which there is a handful. As you can imagine, I am not familiar with all those previous recordings, of course. However, I have been listening to this latest album and that's the one I have been describing, which shows that it is not a beginner's recording but rather someone that has been at it for years.
