Yesterday, Iron Bonehead Productions announced 25 March as the international release date for Mortuus Infradaemoni's long-awaited third album, Inmortuos Sum, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Also, Mortuus Infradaemoni revealed its first track from the upcoming album, "Ossuarium Of The Black Earth", which is available for listening in the player below.
Mortuus Infradaemoni is a duo hailing from Germany. Both members - Profanatitas (drums, bass, vocals) and Nathaniel (guitar, vocals) - played at various times, in the darkest past, with the legendary Lunar Aurora. Mortuus Infradaemoni recorded an unpublished rehearsal demo in 2005 and then followed with two albums, 2007's Daemon Qui Fecit Terram and 2009's Imis Avernis, on the cult Cold Dimensions label before fading into blissful nothingness...
As if the past decade - or, more accurately, past decades - of black metal hadn't happened, Mortuus Infradaemoni now returnes with a surprise full-length to transport the faithful back to the mid-'90s. Indeed, the fire burning across this third album is quintessentially 1994 in sound and aspect - truly, contemporaneous Darkthrone and especially Gorgoroth's early work looms large here - but the duo evince an unsettling weirdness here that's thankfully never belaboured. Ghoulish and gurgling sounds seemingly come from every direction, with songs surging and then disintegrating at will, all before righteously headbanging parts crop up and then also disappear like vapour. Above all, the razor-wire attack is thoroughly and threateningly black metal in its original, olde-worlde incarnation - unorthodoxy is celebrated, and the madcap artistry is almost incidental. But make no mistake: steeped in the ancient Mortuus Infradaemoni may be, Inmortuos Sum is not an exercise in trite retro posturing; this is the work of revitalized deviants, dragged into the present. Those around "back in the day" will understand...
Topping an hour in duration, Inmortuous Sum is Mortuus Infradaemoni's long-brewing nightmare made manifest. Link
