About this product

Once in a blue moon you come across a band that just escapes clear labelling and breaks out of most of the formulas out there. We've been really struggling to pinpoint the style, find comparisons and give an accurate description of Sacral Night's music. With the loss of the singer from the EP, the King Diamond similarities have diminished, but the sinister feeling and sense of the macabre have become even stronger. The vocal duties are now performed by the band's leader and bassist, Amphycion, who sang in his previous heavy metal band SANCTUAIRE - it's a passionate performance and there's a touch of melancholy in his voice. He's also known for having played in death/black band NECROWRETCH, and musically, Sacral Night sometimes dwell more in the death/black metal realm. There's tremolo style guitar picking, some disharmonic chords and blast beats, and one thing worth noting is the great, organic sounding drum work. All in all, an intense, unique and personal sounding debut album. Descend into the darkest catacombs, descend into madness... and let the heavy metal blackness embrace you. Check it out if you're into any of these bands SANCTUAIRE (Fra.), ATTIC, BEWITCHED (Chl.), SATAN'S HOST, DISSECTION, IN SOLITUDE, early DEATH, TRIBULATION and early DEATH SS.

Sacriversum - Before the Birth of Light   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Sacriversum were formed in 1992 in Lódz (Poland), playing old school Death Metal with progressive elements and atmospheric sounds, making their complex mixture special and unique. Their debut album InchThe Shadow Of The Golden FireInch was released in 1994, at a time when a lot of Death Metal bands started to push their boundaries and became more experimental. Their music was a perfect fit along with legendary bands like PESTILENCE, DEATH, GOREFEST & ATHEIST. And this counts for Sacriversum and their upcoming new album InchBefore The Birth Of LightInch even more. InchBefore The Birth Of LightInch will be released on May 8th, by their new tag FIREFLASH RECORDS (HOLY MOSES, WOLF, RUTHLESS a.o.) and is available on CD, limited vinyl and digital. The album stands for raw Death Metal, with those incomparable Hammond organs. Death meets Deep Purple. Their sound is a mixture of the above mentioned acts and is not too far apart from the latest BLOOD INCANTATION album. Both combine tradition with fiction. You have to hear and experience this Death Metal gem. Since 2022, Sacriversum are back and continue, where they ended up with their debut album. Those nine new tracks on InchBefore The Birth Of LightInch are possibly the best songs Sacriversum ever composed - once you got into it, they don't let you go. It is a dark ride into another dimension, another time and another space. You are captured in their own world, in a time before the birth of light.
