MÜTIILATION

Release Year: 2008
Artist Origin: FRA
Style: morbid ferocious extreme black metal

the last studio full-length [2007] before another break by historical and quite scandalous French black metal project consists of four lengthy and quite diverse compositions, with an aim to rebuild the bridges between gritty, uncompromising energy of early era and later established melancholy - there is always a smothering break or morbid interlude following hurricane-like whirlwind, so emotionally this journey is quite a challenge, confirming unconventional character of its mastermind, where gloomy melodic motifs intertwine with chaotic guitar outbursts, while pervasive bleakness deepens the sense of spiritual exhaustion, and Meyhna’ch's raw, anguished vocals shift between bitter snarls and tortured cries, amplifying the sense of alienation and inner collapse, leaving no room for even the slightest respite; rare first press gatefold sleeve double red vinyl edition with pro-printed inner sleeves is limited to 1000 units
