CD re-issue of the third full-length by one of the purest Old School Black Metal acts, PEST.
PEST were created with the sole goal to deliver pure Black Metal in the old vein with no females or keyboards. 'Rest In Morbid Darkness' consists of nine hymns bleeding from infernal energies, violent sickness, lurking horror and triumphant bloodshed, all in the spirit of blackened demo metal. The music is spawned in the darkest of depths from the inhuman mind. Deceitful, deranged and depraved music from the true tyrants of Swedish Black Metal.
The band is not newcomers, but they are bringer of new impulses. Challenging the spiritual possibilities of seeing beyond the void and into the nothingness of nothing. Opening your ears and hearts to the underworld of nihilism and despair. Taking their name from the Mesopotamian monster figure Anzû. Described as a divine storm bird who could breathe fire and water or in some descriptions as a lion-headed eagle. Either also as the personification of the southern wind and the thunder clouds.
Their music speaks for itself, however. Fabolous musicianship on every instrument and a great live band, they have managed to create their own sound and image of another world in their own special way.
This new opus plunges into the abyss, where ancient rites and mythic forces collide. From the crumbling remains of mortality to the furious storm of Sumerian fiends, KUR pulses with raw emotion, evoking despair, awe, and a confrontation with the unknown. Amidst these powerful themes, the eternal dance between life and death, pride and submission, unfolds.
Prepare to be cast into the depths of KUR, where you’ll be beckoned to confront the void—and in doing so, transcend it.
The most prominent and significant American death/funeral doom emissaries EVOKEN succeed their 2018 landmark Hypnagogia album with their seventh full-length opus Mendacium set for release on Oct 17. A work that will reveal itself as one of the darkest and most oppressive EVOKEN albums among their unparalleled repertoire.
Where 2018’s Hypnagogia would see the band capture and focus on a more melancholic, tangible, and even more of an accessible sonic design, Mendacium takes that acute shift back to the monumental dirge-like dread and woeful catacombic and disharmonious heaviness reminiscent of the band’s Quietus and Antitheses of Light masterworks. All while still encapsulating the tectonic-shifting nature of their Caress of the Void and Atra Mors releases while venturing more through classic gothic audial textures and even treading a little down experimental mire as well, reminiscing an aura seeping from such luminary artists as Dead Can Dance, Monumentum, and Disembowelment.
To signal this shift in sound harking back to this previous era, the band would recall the services of producer Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal who worked with EVOKEN on their Antithesis of Light and Quietus albums respectively. The result being Mendacium capturing a sepulchral heaviness saturated in ambience with even more of an emphasis on deathlike dread and anguish; an ambience reflecting the depths and catacombs of an ancient cathedral or monastery, ultimately defining Mendacium as EVOKEN’s most powerful sounding album to date.
