SACRAMENTUM

Release Year: 2013
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: harmonious infernal blackened death metal

this glorious Scandinavian entity, featuring members of Lord Belial and Runemagick, developed innovative and highly advanced strain of harmonious blackened death metal from their formation in 1992, and this debut full-length masterpiece [1996] exceeded all expectations, continuing the tradition of such distinguished acts as Dissection, Unanimated and Dawn while carving out a peculiar niche within dizzyingly piercing realms of infernal genre, where virtuosic, memorable riffs, penetrating melodic lines and lightning-fast rhythms merge into majestic yet menacing soundscape, while chilling mood intertwines with hypnotic harmonies, lending each composition an exceptional weight, with the precise execution ultimately making it one of the most memorable testimonies of Scandinavian sound of the nineties; it was recorded in Unisound, and remastered again by Dan Swanö, while booklet features in-depth interview with both core members of the band
