Wrath of Logarius - Crown Of Mortis - CD DIGIPAK + Digital

CD in Digipak with 12-page booklet.

Despite its contentious spirit, black metal can be awfully rigid. WRATH OF LOGARIUS hail from its familiar scenery, but these skeletons aren’t bound by the scene’s strict traditions. With ‘Crown of Mortis’, the band announce the official coronation of a new realm for the subgenre: formless black metal.
Much like their notoriously difficult-to-defeat namesake, WRATH OF LOGARIUS are impossible to predict. Since their instantly infectious debut EP, the band have leveled up in brute strength. Lead single “Keeper of the Spectral Legion” summons an army of the undead with merciless chugs and gloomy tremolo picking while the mournful “Long Dead the King” marches under the blistering heel of drummer extraordinaire Lord Marco.
But this first full-length also ups their chilling sense for atmosphere with hair-raising skill. With the crushing curl of each blackened tendril, "Of the Void" embraces transfiguration by fire and ice. "Open the gates and let revision in", Noctifier shrieks while ascending toward the astral plane. "Slowly dismantle every part of you". No matter the form, ‘Crown of Mortis’ pronounces WRATH OF LOGARIUS as the unflinching kings of black metal’s new realm.

For fans of GAERA, 1349, DARK FUNERAL.
