MEDIEVAL DEMON
Medieval Necromancy
(CD)

Description

Satanism, necromancy, the occultist’s practice, the air of darkness and mystery, the meetings in dark forests and forgotten places: all played a significant role in the lives and inspiration of the members. MEDIEVAL DEMON are beyond the mundane – no human civilizations, no modern life, no politics. The only value is chaos eternal, and eternal resistance against God!

Indeed, Medieval Necromancy is like a time-warp back to the ’90s black metal scene, especially Greek’s significant role in such. While many usually point to the Scandinavian scene as forerunners of ’90s black metal, it is Greece that had a small yet exceptionally potent scene, its sound soon becoming instantly recognizable worldwide, as purveyed by the original “Big Three” of Rotting Christ, Varathron, and Necromantia. MEDIEVAL DEMON arose during this era, and were spurred into action by the spirit of the times. Some 20 years after the release of their cult debut album, their latest Medieval Necromancy takes those same original rudiments – proud ‘n’ patient pulse, witching atmosphere, dusky hues, and no small amount of muscle – and brings them forward into the present, giving a much more rounded ‘n’ robust production than that found on the no-less-considerable Demonolatria. It’s a sound that’s as fresh as it is classic, mysterious as it is majestic, unremittingly obsidian as it is immediately invigorating.
