Description
Originally formed in 2012, Genune found its true beginning with the release of its debut album, Cern Sol, in 2018. The band's sound is best described as 'atmospheric post-black metal', opting for compositions that unfold organically with peaks of intensity followed by calmer interludes, wherein influences from genres ranging from, but not limited to shoegaze, electronica, americana, Anatolian rock, converge in a coherent and personal blend. Themes of time, consciousness, identity and life make the bulk of the band's lyrical content, expressed through an attempted modernist poetic approach. Their sophomore release in 2021, Inert & Unerring, expanded upon this vision, delving further into the concept of identity. Comprised of members Dragos, Cosmin, Istvan, Abel and Victor, Genune is set to release their third album, Infinite Presence, a work that invites listeners on a journey of reflection, remembrance, light, gratitude. Infinite Presence is the product of the most radiant hope and the deepest absence.

"Inert and Unerring" is a bold and unusually relatable work, which treats Black Metal music with a variety of atmospherics, folk themes and no deft of heady content" - Veil of Sound
