From down there, the damned protagonists of ILLUM ADORA return, to once again take you along to their reminiscent journey within the glorious black metal times of the early to mid nineties. Hearken with extraordinary lucidity their cries of admiration for the mystic, atmospheric and for the blackest sounds of the Middle Ages. 4 own songs are featured plus a cover-version of Behemoth's "Blackvisions of the Almighty" from 1994.
The Throne has been reconquered once again by 23 Minutes of sheer nostalgic, satanic and evil music – the most atrocious edicts promulgate definitely not for the last time: NON SERVIAM!
Tracklist: 1. Infernum et Necromantium 4:36 2. Oscurita Medievale 3:52 3. Master of Contempt 4:10 4. Heroine des Grauens 5:03 5. Blackvisions of the Almighty 4:52
Continuing to refine and perfect their sound while ever expanding it in new directions, “Cease the Day” is a powerful and kaleidoscopic effort. A thunderous undercurrent of melodic riffing drives these songs forward, elements of Doom, Death, and Progressive Metal all coming together to form a cohesive whole.
We are sure it will be hard to understand and take this release. It consists of 6 very peculiar ambient tracks which were made in collaboration with Clin, keyboardist of Ukrainian cult band Reusmarkt. It also contains 3 black-metal tracks (which are also of very uncommon style for Kroda). All of the tracks are so dissimilar that none could be a quintessence of the whole album's preview. That's why we have decided to choose the cover version of the classic Ukrainian Black Metal - "Under the Banners of the Horned Knjaz" by Nokturnal Mortum as the representative of this release.
Ein Black Metal-Album voller Energie, Wut, Verzweiflung, Melancholie, Melodie und Härte, dass so, gerade im deutschsprachigen Raum, noch nicht existierte.
