Fromsoftwareās behemoth action-RPG Elden Ring is an enigma. How a game so obtuse, difficult, and uniquely itself in its visuals and storytelling became the blockbuster that it is baffles me, and itās one of those precious pieces of art that simply makes me happy to live in the same world as it. Itās also metal as anything can be. Bands like Fell Omen have tapped into the gameās mythology for inspiration before and, now, the international blackened death duo Starscourge enter the fray with their debut Conqueror of the Stars ā Betwixt Sundered Seraphim, the Lands Between Bleed. Promising serious riffage and an emphasis on storytelling, instrumentalist Zul Bharoocha (Sweden) and vocalist Mithun MK (Singapore) have already overcome one great obstacle by getting this thing made at all. But what did Starscourge achieve with Conqueror of the Starsā¦? I doubt you could even imagine itā¦
Conqueror of the Starsā¦ās full title is comically verbose, but it foreshadows the sheer opulent regality exuded by Starscourge. The band masterfully captures Elden Ringās demi-deific power struggle through massive riff-craft supported by extravagant (synth) orchestration and choir. āRanniās Requiem ā A Night of Black Knivesā imposes regal grandiosity through overwhelming choirs and guitar leads, while the weight with which āThe Battle of Aeoniaā heaves itself feels genuinely symphonic. āAthwart Hereditary Taint, Thence Doth the Valkyrie Rideā wields a wonderful balance of airy dueling guitars and piano and blistering, throat-shredding black metal, standing in contrast to the maniacal, overtly evil decadence of āTogether, My Serpentine Valentineā immediately following. Even the Slayer cover āSpirit in Blackā sounds opulent, imbuing MKās Araya impersonation with the arrogant pomp suited to a Golden Order lord of Elden Ring. If you like your metal as haughty as it is heavy, Starscourge is your band and Conqueror of the Stars⦠is your album.
Athwart Hereditary Taint, Thence Doth The Valkyrie Ride by Starscourge
Conqueror of the Stars⦠may reek of vainglory and overwriting, but donāt be fooled: Starscourge are exhilarating. Bharoochaās riffs tap into the fullest majesty of black metal (āThe Shatteringā) and melodeathās sharpest hooks (āI Am the Starscourgeā), even indulging in NWOBHM-isms on āThe Battle of Aeonia.ā MKās growls resemble a mix of Aeternamās Achraf Loudiy and Lamb of Godās Randy Blythe, while his cleans recall both Borknagarās ICS Vortex and, when he breaks out the falsettos, King Diamond. Conqueror of the Stars⦠rages from start to finish,1 whether by propulsive chops on āWhereunto Frenzy Beckonethā or furious tremolos on āDestinyās Dastardly Dynasty,ā and Bharoochaās leads and solos approach Moonlight Sorcery levels of show-off-ness in their technicality (āBlessings Upon the Golden Throneā). Starscourge also prove expert editors, as everything but āThe Battle of Aeoniaā sits tight at three to four minutes of no fat, all muscle goodness.2 Starscourge couldāve afforded to put on some weight, as both āBlessings Upon the Golden Orderā and āI Am the Starscourgeā end somewhat anticlimactically. Like Elden Ring, Conqueror of the Stars⦠brings the goods in great quantity without resorting to padding.
But thereās no avoiding Starscourgeās Achilles heel: insistence upon voice acting. Opener āBetwixt Sundered Seraphimā¦ā sees Starscourge read off one of Elden Ringās trailer scripts in an unconvincing Shakespearean inflection over boring synths, failing to either achieve the dramatic pulse of the original read or excite the listener. This is the least offensive spoken word moment on the album, however, because it at least doesnāt distract from a good instrumental. Too often, a bruising riff (āDestinyās Dastardly Dynastyā), half a solo (āThe Shatteringā), or a slow build-up (āThe Battle of Aeoniaā) is buried under cringey monologue that doesnāt immerse the listener into the story any better than a compelling instrumental couldāve. Given voice actingās prominent role in Conqueror of the Starsā¦, itās clear that Starscourge think of it as an integral factor of their style. I donāt. Itās boring, a bit silly, and stands in conflict with the rest of the music. Conqueror of the Stars⦠is already an engrossing, deeply dramatic record without it, so why insist upon it?3
But even with Starscourgeās voice acting woes, not to mention less-than-thrilling mixing and mastering,4 Conqueror of the Stars ā Betwixt Sundered Seraphim, the Lands Between Bleed is a monumentally entertaining record. Both grandiose and lean, the few but notable hiccups this album has just barely held my hand from shattering the Score Safety Box one last time this year. Whether you abide by the frenzy of black metal or live in death, or just really like Elden Ring, Conqueror of the Stars⦠is an easy recommendation. Bear witness!

"Reign In Blood" by #Slayer. What a kick-ass album with some great music! The first impressions are those Finnish folk esque "humppa" vibes. Then Lombardo starts delivering his famous blast beats, and a cliche guitar solo every now and then. But it works.
