Atraments, the new album from Sweden/UK-based industrial/doom metal duo Anima Nostra, is now just a day away from its official release through Malignant Records. Formed by and featuring Margaux Renaudin and Nordvargr architect Henrik Björkk, Anima Nostra presents a monstrous and demoralizing album with Atraments.
Taking the more intimate ritual ambient aspects of their prior collaborative recording and incorporating them as part of towering constructs that blur the line between death industrial, doom metal, and neo-classical, with its upward swells of foreboding brass, fearsome tribal percussion, and hammering, bass-heavy dirge, Anima Nostra's second album Atraments is the unleashing of something truly monumental and cataclysmic, eclipsing nearly everything Nordvargr has ever been associated with in of scope and grandeur. Integral and prominent in the mix are heavily serrated and imperious vocals, employed to drag the listener inexorably into an inferno of apocalyptic proportions, while adding a more structured "song" element and trumpeting the arrival of an inevitable doom. Atraments stands firmly as a vision complete and the perfect soundtrack for times of great tumult. The album is completed with artwork by Thomas Ekelund (Trepaneringsritualen) and Portuguese occult calligrapher Gordoletters.
