BLACK METAL

The material Dean Blunt has released since he cut ties with Hype Williams collaborator Inga Copeland has hewed closer toward pop song structures. With his latest full-length, it seems he's finally decided to open up, to highlight a love for pop music that's always been somewhere underneath.

If Blunt is ever to settle into a routine, this should be his blueprint.

Knowing Dean Blunt's past work with and without Inga Copeland, it would be instinctive to approach Black Metal without expecting the title to offer a clue about the contents.

Preparing yourself for the unexpected from Dean Blunt is almost a given, and Black Metal is yet again another fascinating sidestep.

Dean Blunt still remains an enigma to most listeners these days.
