LUCIFIXION PERPETRATES BLACK METAL TERROR EVER IN OBEISANCE TO THE TRINITY OF HIS EVER LOOMING TRIDENT.
DISGORGED FROM THE YAWNING MAW OF ABJECT DEATH, WE SHARPEN OUR BLADES AND BURN IN DEVOTION AND PASSION. THE WORK IS REPLETE IN MAELSTROMS OF RAW HELL, FANGS BARED AT GOD. POSSESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF VAUNTED LUMINARIES SUCH AS KATHARSIS, ARMAGEDDA, AND CRAFT. MANIC MAELSTROMS OF CHAOTIC RIFFS FRENETICALLY ASSAIL, AS THE LISTENER IS FORCED INTO OMNIPRESENT LUNACY BY WAY OF RIFFS SCOURGING FLESH FROM BONE. THIS IS BLACK METAL DONE THE OLD WAY, WITH AN ATTENTION TO BOTH COMPOSITION AND ATMOSPHERE, TEMPERED WITH FERAL OBEISANCE.
HERE LAYETH THE HAND THAT STIRS TO DEEDS OF BLOOD, THE THORNS THAT BLEED THE GODHEAD. RISE AND REVEAL!
We’re proud to welcome into our family enigmatic raw black metal pestilence Lucifixion, an authentic sonic scourge that has tasked Sentient Ruin with the abhorrent delivery of their face-shredding debut full-length album, to be released in mid/late 2022, and which is being preceded by the venomous debut demo tape “Feral Mass”, here presented.
A song extrapolated from said forthcoming album - the eleven-minute“Feral Mass” - has been re-recorded, mixed and mastered by the band themselves to be released immediately as the eponymous demo/promo tape to give the world a small hint of the utter sonic flailing Lucifixion have seething within their wretched womb, and which will find its full deflagration in the year to come under the form of their aforementioned debut album.
“Feral Mass” documents Lucifixion’s sudden emergence from the depths and obscurity of the USBM underground’s most remote crevices, as they revel in a state of unstable and embryonic chaos almost like a malefic premonition of war. A venomous prelude of greater things to come, the single-track demo is the band’s inaugural death rite, which, while providing unmistakeable clues to the band’s deconstructed and lawless state, is alo just a mere glimpse into the apocalyptic bedlam and aural disarray they have ready for listeners in the forthcoming months.
The staggering demo tape showcases the band accrete around a specific arsenal of influences that include majestic and transformative raw black metal bands like Armagedda, Craft and Katharsis, and then using these influences to shape a vision and identity that are expression of some otherworldly and feral plane of insanity. The eleven minute song “Feral Mass” itself exemplifies this boundless quest for total supremacy of chaos as Lucifixion launch into a series of lengthily and schizoid progressions that drag the listener to the edge of madness, exalting a virtuosic technicality and a highly ambitious songwriting which juxtaposed to the band’s raw and blown out sound materialize a majestic and senses-obliterating sonic plague.
The “Feral Mass” demo/promo was released on December 3 2021 on a limited edition cassette tape, and serves as prelude to the band’s debut full-length offering scheduled for a mid/late 2022 release.
