Since 1998 Clandestine Blaze has been on its path where core ideas of Black Metal are presented with merciless and unapologetic ways. CB has rejected many of the forms contemporary black metal has taken and ways it manifests itself. However, instead of nostalgia for past, CB has been on constant movement towards future and each album brings new additions to formerly existing body of work. Consecration of the Blood is at the same time traditional CB, yet brings always something new. Sound rejects many of the flaws seen in contemporary metal. Production rejects both polished clean studio approach as well as distorted lo-fi mess. What comes to overall sound, Consecration of the Blood is somewhere closer to Fist of the Northern Destroyer, On The Mission and New Golgotha Rising. Minimal echoes, thin and piercing sound, not compressed and boosted. Music combines simplicity of old CB with more unusual riffing of new CB. Lyrically proceeding from where former albums have touched.
