The Magus concluding Necromantia‘s chapter with the album “To The Depths We Descend…” -with which he honored his longtime collaborator Baron Blood who passed away so suddenly in 2019- found himself at a crossroads.

He had to choose between retiring after a long and successful musical career and charting a new path. He didn’t hesitate at all. He chose the hard way. Necromantia no longer exists, but the protagonist is here, on the ramparts, ready for new journeys in abyss. For a whole year he secluded himself from worldly affairs and devoted exclusively to the composition of “Vissodomontas“, which is the title that seals the debut album of his new project THE MAGUS.

“Vissodomontas” is an album that is meticulous down to its last detail. Every note, every riff & chorus, is not by chance where it was placed. Except El (Guitars) & Maelstorm (Drums) who make up THE MAGUS, a host of well-known musicians participated adding their personal touch (King Dude, IDVex (1/2 SOUTHERN NORTH), Hel Pyre (W.E.B.), Iraklis Gialatzides (SWAN CHRISTY) & Christos Antoniou (SEPTICFLESH) who did the arrangements for the live choir. At the same time, five graphic designers tackled the artwork of all formats and captured in an exemplary way on paper the nightmarish thoughts of The Magus. Finally, a special mention is needed for the amazing production, mixing & mastering, done at Pentagram Studio by George Emmanuel.

LP - Gatefold  (Limited to 500 copies)

Step into the shadowy abyss of the "Undying Order Of The Black Flames", a captivating embodiment of eternal defiance and passion born from the ashes of unrelenting hatred. Paying homage to ancient medieval orders and the sacrilegious heretical currents that have persisted through the ages, providing a visceral connection to a time when rebellion thrived in the face of conformity.

Crafted meticulously, it's a bold statement for those who dare to embrace their individuality and stand against the mainstream. This creation transcends the notion of good production or the fleeting trends that plague the music industry today. Instead, it serves to preserve and revitalize the raw, untamed spirit of a flame that once burned brilliantly.

Embrace the darkness and let the "Undying Order Of The Black Flames" guide you on a journey through the echoes of history, empowering you to keep alive the fire that has long been forgotten.

Join us and affirm your allegiance to the shadowy flames of defiance.

Baltic Black Metal, for fans of Vreid, Windir, Burzum...
