Portuguese black metal legends Irae stream the entirety of their special anniversary recording, Assim na Terra como no Inferno, which is out now via Signal Rex. Featuring seven exclusive songs across 40 minutes, Assim na Terra como no Inferno is both new and old: the ancient spirit revitalized in the putrid present, archaic energies reignited with a passion that simply refuses to relent - and, amazingly, only gets better with time. Truly, it is some strange magick that Irae manages to sound more vital than ever, both embodying the post-millennial Portuguese sound and pushing it to greater, more deranged lengths with that unquenchable flame.
As Vulturius explains: "It was in the fall of 2002, with experience brought from other bands and projects, the ideas that have followed me since '95/'96 flow and quickly turn into lyrics, titles, and songs, when I wrote and immediately recorded it on tape in my room, the first four songs by Irae, which turned out to be the first demo Spreading The Wrath Of Satan. I went through all the processes since a young age listening to rock and heavy metal on music videos and tapes to thrash metal, some death metal, until I heard those dark rumors and listened to the first black metal records from the second wave of black metal. It touched me instantly and became a purpose and something that I wanted to follow as a fan, as a musician. Now, after 20 years, I'm still doing it with the same devotion as ever. As time goes by, I thought about something special for this celebration, and nothing is better than a record with new songs glorifying and honoring the dark past of black metal, back when it was dangerous, magical, mystical, and exciting like in the mid '90s era. Therefore, honoring those times, here's my take, about what I've been following since." Link
