MYSTICUM

Release Year: 2014
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: rough intense industrial black metal

one of the most significant phenomenons of extreme metal movement is that genius music usually is unmanageable by time, and even eighteen year gap between two albums means relatively nothing - it has exactly taken that long for industrial black metal pioneers from Asker to return with their highly anticipated sophomore longplay, which was put on shelf for quite some years when they were inactive, but was eventually accomplished, jumping back to chaotic satanic mayhem of the nineties, brimming with severe underground spirit, almost unbearable intensity and harsh, hypnotizing terror, where Herr General Cerastes' vocals got a bit deeper touch, adding some death metal accent, yet otherwise haunting music sounds as profound and authentic as ever before; British first press hardcover digibook edition comes with 24 page booklet
