Accretion is a surprisingly moving, cassette-only release by one man black metal band Stellar Descent. The reason I say surprising is that the album consists solely of the title track which runs at over 40 minutes in length. “Accretion” however, instead of being a long and boring exercise in monotony, lulls the listener into a state that is both peaceful and yet full of longing. For what though, I’m not incredibly sure.

Stellar Descent aims to create atmospheric, depressive, folkish black metal and is musically inspired by bands such as Burzum, Wyrd, Skagos, Boreal, Agalloch, and Alda.
