There's no sign of IRAE's black flame being extinguished anytime soon. To wit: the four-song Promiscuous Fire EP, which precludes the band's first European tour, alongside the legendary Marduk. For those who think IRAE is "just" a raw black metal band, Promiscuous Fire will prove to be quite a reckoning. While by no means "polished" per se, there's a decidedly refined amalgamation of cleaner tones and classic black metal songwriting in a Second Wave style. Here, Vulturius is joined by drummer J Goat (and Obskuritatem's O on two tracks), and together they whip forth freezing fire that's seemingly timestamped 1995. Perhaps it's due to their tourmates, or perhaps it's a strive back to the darkest past for IRAE, but there's no disputing the band's deep rotes nor authenticity; if anyone could (or should) deliver a record of transplanted Scandinavian tropes, it's them - and they get mangled in an ugly manner only IRAE can manage. Taken another way, Promiscuous Fire is simply 23 minutes of timeless, medieval darkness: IRAE are about to bring their torches to European soil and set fire to every city!
