OUT OF STOCK

SOLD OUT FROM THE LABEL. LAST COPY!

The year of 2016 was witness to the unveiling of a new project from the USA, one which over the release of a couple of demos and a split cassette with fellow countrymen BLACK CITADEL spawned the devotion from Underground fanatics of the rawest, most inexorable Black Metal. One year later, the heinous fiend named ORDER OF DARKNESS returns, this time with its first full-length release. Summoned and captured over the course of three days, Vrej (Armenian for "Revenge") was ultimately assembled during a turmoil of chaos and upheaval in the existence of its creator. Drawn out of the tumult of said convulsion, Vrej is an amalgamation of absolute darkness, palpable, dense as a shrouded veil of intense gloom. Atmospherically distant while disturbingly imminent in its grasp, Vrej captures the raw, visceral essence of the demos, yet expanding its infectious foul nature to a different level. The outright cruelty of the guitar riffs purveys a viciously inhuman sense of the macabre, as impenetrable as they are enthralling, a proclamation of six-stringed ruthlessness. The cryptic sound production provides an assembly of darkened shades of deathlike ambience, an effort of necromantic measures which captures the very stench of death. The impervious rhythm of cold programmed drums works amid absolute perfection with an austere pulse. A voice from the Stygian void yells scraps of ardor and intensity throughout the 39 minutes of this séance, as a sinister chimera of howling spells, a gasping narrative of screaming anguish, formless, tormented, beyond the borders of feeble human reality. Visually impetuous, the merest glance at the artwork offers a distraught aura of putrid death and decay, a void meeting with the decrepitude of the self.

Vrej is more than a musical record, but a supreme ceremony of demented darkness, an exaltation of the Dance Macabre, a eulogy to the great mother, Death.
