Apostate Viaticum

01. Apostate Viaticum - Before The Gates Of Gomorrah, 2017 CD Album      Invictus Productions - IP104      Visit invictusproductions666.bandcamp.com Black death and doom! And a lot more death. This fantastic album is made out of regular components - nothing you have not heard before, but the sum of its part comes out as an entirely autonomous, ferocious beast. So, yes, death metal! But music death metal, not demonstration death metal. They want you to be devoured, not to take notes and plot graphs. There is a bit of Ripping Corpse going on, some sludgy avalanches, and more black masses. it is brutal but not mindless, it is savage but controlled, it is heavy with a sense of architecture, not for the sake of testosterone. The Ancient Testament is revisited upside down and heads that previously were not banging now bang furiously. Grand declaration of zer!
