A campaign started on 1 July 1916. A campaign of muddy, rat infested trenches, endless artillery barrages, and cracks of rifles in the distance. A campaign of unsettling night raids, close quarters combat, and suffocating fumes of chlorine gas. The sound of the treads of the first tanks grinding the bones of those long dead on the battlefield to dust and of the screams from no man's land of men bleeding out in the night from the previous day's failed offensive.
This is the soundtrack for that campaign. Welcome to the Somme.
At times tragic, at times folkloric, melancholy giving way to bloodlust, Ab Amitia Pulsae proves once again that MAVORIM are uniquely adept at fully coloring within the lines of black metal with the boldest and bravest hues.
2 x LP, 298 half blue, half yellow vinyl (180g), Side D with silkscreen, printed innersleeves full color x 2, gatefold, full-color on 350g uncoated (matte) with 3D UV SPOT print, all assembled in a PVC overbag.
PROFANATICA require no introduction. Cold 'n' alone American black metal before "USBM" became some dumb rallying term, pushing boundaries and "good taste" with vile blasphemy and even-more-vile music, and simply doing whatever the fuck they want, both in their original early '90s guise and their now-intensely-prolific period in the 21st millennium: there's only ever been one true PROFANATICA.
To mark this momentous occasion, a limited edition of the album will be released with a wooden tea-light holder. Mourn the heroic dead and light their way to the beyond with MAVORIM's Non Omnis Moriar!
The work of one selfsame Häxär, concurrently of Ernte, HÄXÄR are a lone torch of Swiss black metal. Now, after two albums in as many years, HÄXÄR present their third album of turn-of-the-millennium nastiness: Teufelskult. Ripped raw and ripping, Teufelskult possesses that dead-but-alive electricity that so earmarked many a Moonfog release as Y2K approached.
