Black Metal

For those who’ve lurked within the black metal underground for the past two decades (or even longer), the name MORRIGAN should be more than familiar. As Mayhemic Truth from 1992-2000, the band released a steady stream of demos that bowed before the ancient altar of the almighty Bathory. The shimmering darkness that Mayhemic Truth created back then was an untrendy counterpoint to black metal’s increasingly mainstream aspirations during that period, and also served as an oft-overlooked pillar of Germany’s black metal underground. However, when the band changed their moniker to MORRIGAN at the dawn of the new millennium and released their debut album, Plague, Waste and Death, in 2001, changes were afoot – and they were grand. For the rest of the ensuing decade, MORRIGAN moved on from Bathory’s more hard-charging style into the glorious “Viking era” marked most poignantly by the dual classics of Hammerheart and Twilight of the Gods. Their exploration of Quorthon’s pagan ruminations soon became an almost parallel realm of unrecorded Viking Bathory work, both sincerely devoted to those twin tomes and simultaneously expanding upon them, the latter largely through the exploration of Celtic mythology. In short, this was the true sound of MORRIGAN, and they quietly led others into new-yet-old pagan vastlands.

2024… More than 30 years after its infamous creation, the black heart of Mutiilation is still pumping its poison. Risen from the ashes, unexpected for decades. Meyhnach, in his unpredictable wisdom, resurrected the legend and brought back Mutiilation to the earthly plane to deliver its 7th spawn. A dark masterpiece of black metal that surpasses the hopes of the mortals. Black Metal CultBlack Metal Cult is certainly the culmination that punctuates Mutiilation’s career.

The 3rd full-length of this seminal Raw Black Metal band.

Black Metal

Black Millenium was recorded after a long absence from the black metal scene. In 2000, Meyhnach just decided to strike back and show the world mutiilation wasn’t buried… The music appears to be a bit more sophisticated, but still grim and dark with this particular production that belongs to the project.

The album from 2003 available again on CD.

Remains of a ruined dead cursed soul, The original album was called “Evil, the gestalt of abomination” and was supposed to be released in 1992. Due to label issues it finally saw the light in 1999 with the actual tittle… Rough and not perfectly executed, it represents the really start of Mütiilation.

Vampires of black imperial blood was recorded in 1995, That’s the album which really defined Mütiilation’s unique style.

This masterpiece of roughness and depression will stay forever a reference for the french black metal scene.

Raw Black Metal

Third Ritual is the grave stomping carrion call of the unliving ghast grume. An evocative alchemical fusion of bass heavy raw black metal and eerie atmospheric ambient ministrations, Nachtlich here truly awakens to the rotting majesty within; wielding putrescence of power chord, zombie shamble of percussion, penetration of shrieking oration, crypt shake of bass, fungal dissonance of production and ennui enlightenment of subversive synth. Dedicated to the true ways of the ancient, U.E carves a path familiar, yet unique in its twists and turns of labyrinthine composition, contrasting spectral synth passages with mid-pace of raw black metal massacre. Raw, stripped down and rancid—Nachtlich’s Third Ritual is the triune damnation triumphant.

“Terrific recording of a Nächtlich rehearsal, in anticipation of their concert at the Summoning Of The Elder Spirits show in New York, on June 24th, 2022. Released on home dubbed tapes for that same gig, this rehearsal was done with the full live line-up that composed that seance, playing that same setlist, consisting of tracks off of “Satanas Solum Initium Est”, their self-titled album, the “Third Ritual”, “Second Ritual of Night Worship” and self-titled EP’s.
