NECROMANTIA

Release Year: 2021
Artist Origin: GRE
Style: enigmatic dramatic occult black metal

much anticipated farewell album by the legendary horde comes as a tribute to the late Baron Blood who was indispensable in both creative process and spiritual guidance, but Magus and his comrades do an honourable effort with artistic spirit of specific blackened sound, reigning throughout its eight tracks - some die-hard fans miss the dominating double bass guitar attack, but sharp guitar riffs are effective in its own diabolic way, bringing back the authentic ritualistic vibe, while music's essence is quite aggressive, but the trademark occult episodes effectively add depth and are as convincing as in good old times; as a special nod to the hey day both Lord of The Abyss and The Warlock from the band's debut were re-recorded for this special occasion; deluxe A5 sized digipak edition with additional poster, music score insert, and extra re-recorded Faceless Gods song from 1990 is limited to 1500 units
