{"product_id":"mortuus-grape-of-the-vine-cd","title":"Mortuus - Grape Of The Vine - CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eMORTUUS returns with their second full length album, Grape of the Vine, reeking of the same despair and hopelessness of the first album, De contemplanda Morte: De Reverencie laboribus ac Adorationis  (2007), and that of their self-titled 7” (2005), both released by The Ajna Offensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nThe band’s previous work was exalted for a feeling of being \"lightless\" and \"dreary as Hell\" and characterized by the ubiquitous references to \"atmosphere\"- being a bleak, hopeless, mid-paced exaltation of Death. It might sound trite given the dearth of bands touting their authenticity and grimness within the realms of death and black metal, but a simple reading of the lyrical content here simply belies the fact that there is an egregore that penetrates deeper than that of skin and mortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nThis new material finds the band exploring the dark tunnels and empty shells that lurk beyond the shallow grave previously mined on the first full-length, De contemplanda Morte: De Reverencie laboribus ac Adorationis. And, as with the previous material, the sound is clear and organic and chillingly eerie.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nGrape of the Vine offers a panorama of Death’s landscape slightly more dimensional than that of the first album - not so much so that people will question the fleshing out of the implements deployed, but enough that people will not accuse the band of repeating the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3946127937\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/mortuus.bandcamp.com\/album\/grape-of-the-vine\"\u003eGRAPE OF THE VINE by Mortuus\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53019353350441,"sku":"P-39308-","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Mortuus-Grape-Of-The-Vine-CD-39308-1-1545248088.jpg?v=1778010193","url":"https:\/\/shopusa.season-of-mist.com\/products\/mortuus-grape-of-the-vine-cd","provider":"Season of Mist - North America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
