As a room's confining embrace, Kamra grabs and plunges you in a world of allegories, ruminations and imagery on their debut album Cerebral Alchemy. There is no shortage of uneasiness intertwined with familiarity here. You will hear nods to those who came before and left their mark, only for this five-piece to interpret their legacy in a disturbing, brutal, unnerving, beautiful, even caring way. Their music is permeated by a black metal atmosphere, with a kick of old school death metal, while the vocals leave one questioning genre theory. In this ambiguity and with anonymous band members, Kamra continues to be veiled in mystery.
