"Orthodox Weapons" is the decimating new song from the USA-based black metal duo Spirit Possession, the latest harbinger from its impending second album Of The Sign…, due on 31 March through Profound Lore Records. "Orthodox Weapons" and previously released "Second Possession" await you in the player below.
Spirit Possession unites S. Peacock (Ulthar, Pandiscordian Necrogenesis, Mastery) on strings and vocals and A. Spungin (Vouna, Ormus, Taurus) on drums and handmade synthesizers. Having spent three years sharpening orthodox weapons, the band now presents Of The Sign…, offering six schizophrenics, spiralling, deranged hymns of black/heavy metal from a lost time. While the eponymous debut full-length was a raw and blistering torrent draped in first-wave blood, Of The Sign… seems to be thoroughly drenched in its epic, strange and primitive ways. A violent cacophony of insanity-laden cavern vocals, labyrinthian guitar trilling, scalding drum brutality, and analogue harsh-noise eruptions; these are sinister yet adventurous black/heavy/death abominations from a forgotten age. Erratic musical madness with improbable entrances and impossible exits.
Recorded in the depths of the S•P Dungeon and mixed by Colin Marston at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves (Artificial Brain, Krallice, Imperial Triumphant), Of The Sign… is completed with cover art by Luciana Lupe Vasconcelos. Link
