FUNERAL MIST
Maranatha


FUNERAL MIST manifests rarely but when it does, it is in exceptional glory. While the taint of the pandemonium that was Salvation is never to disappear, for it undeniably set new standards within Black Metal and beyond in terms of musical violence, chaos and the channeling of ominous spiritual energies, Maranatha materializes like the unadulterated omen of the end of times, like a glowing pitch black pit whose appeal to jump within nothing can resist. The violence and the musically bizarre are still there, displayed with a rare mastery but a thorough work on atmospheres and structures and the addition of complex layers of ill sounds make this new album by FUNERAL MIST a renewed challenging experience, as perilous for your mind’s sanity as it is for your soul’s deliverance. Unique, unmistakable when set alongside anything else, FUNERAL MIST stands with splendor as the epitome of extremism. It is only way beyond one’s limits that an encounter with the dimension summoned by Maranatha is made possible, an encounter as perilous as this work is cruel.



The mastermind of FUNERAL MIST is none but Arioch/Mortuus also vocalist of MARDUK. The massive and iron-hard production is courtesy of the well-known Endarker Studios, Sweden (run by Devo of MARDUK). Funeral Mist is one of the most respected and acclaimed Swedish Black Metal entities within purist circles… one of the very few bands actually revolutionizing extreme music with an incredibly unique approach to song-writing and conceptual matters.

DEATHSPELL OMEGA
Veritas Diaboli Manet in Aeternum : Chaining the Katechon MCD

Chaining the Katechon is a 22-minute long eschatological journey exploring the primeval fracture, the Summa Divisio, the corruption inherent to reality. The Katechon being the last rampart, preventing the Son of Perdition from manifesting himself. This recording paints quite a versatile range of sonic landscapes, from the sheer summoning of chaotic violence, not unlike the precedent full-length Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum, to elegiac moments leaving room for melodic layers to develop and grow.
