NANSIS / HARUSPEX / SERPENS LUMINIS - Usque Ad Sideras Et Usque Ad Inferos, CD

This monumental 3-way split unites 12 epic tracks from the forefront of Switzerland's black/death metal scene, showcasing the talents of NANSIS, HARUSPEX, and SERPENS LUMINIS. Each band brings its own distinct flavor to this release, creating a diverse yet cohesive journey into the depths of the abyss.

NANSIS kicks off the assault with a relentless wall of sound, trapping the listener between punishing blast beats and furious guitar riffs. The hoarse, venomous vocals add a layer of palpable hatred, delivering an unforgiving sonic barrage that sets a fierce tone.

HARUSPEX follows with six slower, heavier tracks that plunge the listener into cavernous depths. Their sultry, ominous sound drags you through dark catacombs where fear and horror constantly lurk, creating an atmosphere of oppressive dread.

Closing the procession is SERPENS LUMINIS, standing out with a more modern sound and intricate song structures. The grandiose vocals—half-declaimed, half-belched—are a standout feature, adding a dramatic flair to their dark, avant-garde compositions. Featuring Bornyhake from Borgne, SERPENS LUMINIS brings the split to an epic conclusion, blending traditional black metal elements with fresh, innovative touches.
