We’re very proud to announce the imminent release of "Conquering the Most High" - debut MLP from French satanic death metal horde Infernalivm, a new entity of absolute sonic brutality conceived from within the French orthodox satanic movement, and featuring members of its elite underground from bands like Novae Militiae, Merrimack, Benighted, and Ritualization.
The abominable debut offering has officially been previewed by respected underground metal blog Invisible Oranges, who in premiering the song “Ashes of the Saints” have remarked how the track “sallies out with the band's full genre-eroding arsenal behind it, packing in plenty of death metal absolutely steeped in their dire atmosphere“, and how the EP “within four songs runs a gamut from brutal death metal to dismal tremolo-picked dirges, unifying it all under a banner of abject Satanism and speaker-testing volume”- you can check out the feature and song HERE.
Through these four tracks of dark, sanguinary, and inescapable technical dark death metal tyranny, the specter of Immolation, Dead Congregation, Nile, Adversarial, Arkhon Infaustus and Morbid Angel is evoked with unseen mastery, while the genre’s mutated silhouette is at the same time disfigured and retraced within the novel realms of France’s most intransigent satanic inner circle, materializing nothing less than an authentic horror of creation. The result is a dissonant, bludgeoning beast seething with all the might and power of the antichrist. A dark and violent abomination with an immensely evil and antihuman atmosphere and an infernal aura casting massive, ominous shadows across the face of European death metal and sending a clear message on the magnitude of things to come.
Infernalivm was formed around 2022 by Melek Dlth Aton (Novae Militiae) on guitars and vocals, Daethorn (Merrimack, Ritualization) on bass, and Kevin Paradis (Benighted, Svart Crown, etc.) on drums, as a studio-only project, spawned straight out of the French orthodox satanist black metal scene. The band members’ background laid the foundations for a death metal band heavily rooted in satanism (akin to Deicide, Profanatica, and Incantation), but musically versed in a highly technical and complex strain of ultra-violent, abysmal, and dissonant death metal, in the vein of Immolation, Nile, and Morbid Angel. This dualism paved the way to the band’s debut EP, “Conquering the Most High”, an inaugural and demonstrative twenty one-minute, four-track onslaught of inescapable dark technical/brutal death metal spawned straight from the sanguinary jaws of the antichrist. The MLP was released in late 2024 via Sentient Ruin as starting course to a new reign of dark death metal terror and of greater things to come...
"Conquering the Most High" is slated for a November 29 2024 release worldwide via Sentient Ruin on LP, CD, MC and digital, and all formats are now preorderable via all our channels.
