WEIVER SITROM SUNMINA

ANIMUS MORTIS – ATRABILIS (RESIDUES FROM VERB AND FLESH)
Some labels release too much, too often. Why is this any sort of issue, you ask? Well why is it a benefit, I ask? You can blindly release crap just for the sake of releasing crap with no motivation other than to amass releases all you want, but there’s no way I can help but find it disreputable and downright trying. Labels of this nature won’t be named, but they’re out there, and they know who they are. Heck, I’d swear some of them aren’t even shy about it! Luckily Debemur Morti seems to really have their act together and thus have a knack for only releasing more obscure bands and very few at that, all the while making sure that their material is exceptional. It’s quite a cesspool out there in black metal land these days for a number of reasons, and if they need to be explained, then you just must not be paying attention. Enter Animus Mortis from Chile, a nation while not as well known as other for its black metal “scene” (ugh, that word!) has definitely produced killer acts over the years. Moody, dark, and fine tuned with stellar production and a mix of speeds (leaning mostly toward mid-paced), Animus Mortis have what it takes to make skins crawl and stomachs churn. Any fanciness must have never even been a consideration. Just look at that simple yet wicked album cover. Eight tracks, none over five minutes, and all as addictive as that choking game that strikes fear into the heart of parents. Hey kids, wanna really rebel against society and get into black metal? Play the choking game and listen to this. That’ll teach everybody to not pay enough attention to you! (FA)
