32 years after formation, Finnish iconoclasts ARCHGOAT stand monolithic as one of the most nightmarishly singular bands in extreme music. Helmed with preternatural telepathy by twin brothers Ritual Butcherer and Lord Angelslayer, newest emission "Worship the Eternal Darkness" is a typically depraved set built to mock our contemporary malaise. Continuing on from preceding album "The Luciferian Crown" the hoof-pressure is slightly alleviated from the throat, the band's patented synthesis of occult Finnish Black/Death Metal, harsh Punk, primal Thrash and Grindcore is tempered here with elements of melodic dynamism: a rhythmic crush less unrelenting, horrorshow vocals slightly more intelligible, a production shorn of murk highlighting potent synth-sorcery and welcome NWOBHM influences, not least guitar solos of old-school finesse. Recorded over 2 days in foulest 2021 and clad-as-ever in immortal Chris Moyen artwork, "Worship the Eternal Darkness" has all the thematic unity, arcane knowledge, otherworldly class and divine filth expected from a legendary band stoking underground hellfires which burn stronger than ever.
Pressed on blood red w/ black spinner effect heavy vinyl. Comes with a 4-page 12"x12" booklet, A2 poster and a download card.Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.
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!
Widely considered one of the first "war metal" albums - if not THE first, actually - BESTIAL WARLUST's debut was a shockingly violent and utterly barbaric slab of black metal that literally had no peer upon its release in 1994.
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.
