Released in that fateful year of 1996 on Wrong Again Records - the precursor label to REGAIN, who released pivotal early works by In Flames, Arch Enemy, Naglfar, and Eucharist among others - CARDINAL SIN's Spiteful Intents was a short but all-too-sweet display of lethally melodic, seared-black death metal. Which is not all that surprising given that the band was formed by former Dissection founder/guitarist John Zwetsloot - so naturally, black tentacles of majesty fully enwrap Spiteful Intents, CARDINAL SIN's lone recording after a promo in 1995. Fully embracing (and leading, albeit shortly) the sound of the day, Spiteful Intents is also considerable for numbering two early/classic Marduk members: Jocke Göthberg on vocals & drums, and Devo Andersson on guitars/bass. As a special bonus, three tracks – including a cover of Death’s “Infernal Death” – from the same studio session, once lost to time, have now been added, altogether making for nearly a half-hour of nostalgic black / death. A simpler time, but an undeniably classic time forever etched into legendary...the past is alive!
Emerging from the un-silent crypt, after over a year of strife and plague, Oppressive Descent unleashes the new full length LP, “Spite Is My Scepter, Blood Is My Crown”. Eight new hymns of grim hostility, longing for the cold reaches of eternity and the grisly battles of the past. This new offering encapsulates all the hallmarks of previous Oppressive Descent releases, while building on the grandeur and desolation that Grond Nefarious has invoked through the years. There is no reprieve from the chilling contempt contained within these sonic chambers, yet one will ultimately find the true catharsis in the exaltation of death which is thus brought forth. Desperate, yet triumphant are these chants of the night. Freezing and forlorn, as they herald the winds of war.
