MISSA MORTVM - Et Lux Perpetua Luceat Eis​.​.​., CD

MISSA MORTVM delivers a brilliant album of occult Black Metal, conjuring a deeply eerie and pernicious atmosphere. The album thrives on dark, ritualistic energy, with recurring black mass themes and whispered choirs that intensify the sinister, ceremonial mood. While the music is fiercely aggressive, it exudes a chilling, orthodox rawness, reminiscent of bands like Throne of Katarsis. Melodic bursts cut through the darkness, adding shades of gray to the blackened canvas, especially in the riffs that draw comparisons to the French scene, notably Mortifera and Epheles.

This is not Black Metal relying on minimalist or dissonant tones; rather, MISSA MORTVM skillfully weaves slight melodic elements into their raw, occult foundation, crafting a fine piece of dark black metal.
