Black Metal

When this child of death and perversion was founded, no specific genres were in mind, merely devilry was our polestate when producing the very first words and tunes.
Since we sincerely don’t give a fuck about categorizing something based on our deepest beliefs, we should not spend too much time speaking about the fact that this music exists through The Evil One and NEVER vice-versa!
Our goal is to let you, the listener, truly feel the atmosphere and mysterious meaning behind it all.
Listen to our music and find inspiration; after all, that’s the whole point behind it. We believe in the innumerable figures of evil in the world, manifested in countless ways. The Devil’s mysteries are too many to fully mention, for they are not for us to find out.

The lore of paegan witchery and archetypal symbolism returns as the mystique of OPUS MAGORUM is unlocked.

Summoned by the enigmatic figure of Nocturnal Call of the Moon ( also in Ithaqua, The Gates of Sinn ) this recording dates back to 2013 where it was self-released to a small circle of individuals on 60 handnumbered copies, and still lies as one of the most well hidden secrets of greek Black Metal.

The atmosphere breading these tracks is deadly serious as each one is considered a key to unlock infinite archetypes within the mind and immerse the listener to a transcendental state of darkness. The long agonizing screams and the cold and distant sound preserve the purity of undefiable energy, demanding only pure devotion to decode it.

Aesthetically clad in minimal design of mysterious paintings and sketches of N.C.M. himself, INFERNA PROFUNDUS RECORDS is proud to give this mystical recording profound life releasing it on a limited LP format.

The name Ordem Satânica should be more than familiar to those who follow the crimes of Signal Rex, or indeed the Portuguese black metal underground, which has risen to international prominence in the past decade. In that time, the shadowy collective have released a flurry of recordings, first as demos and splits and then the monumental Monte de Lua debut album in 2017 – each one grimmer and more ghastly, more hypnotizing and harrowing, as the one that preceded it – firmly establishing Ordem Satânica as modern-day atavists and furthering the infamy of their Aldebaran Circle (Trono Além Morte, Occelensbrig, Voëmmr, and Degredo et. al.).

Negros Manifestos de Ordem Venusiana, a split LP presented on noble vinyl, to honor the ancient ways.

Indeed, both hordes wholly honor the ancient ways, and understandably are two of the mightiest and most respected hordes in Portugal’s nowadays raw black metal scene.

Negros Manifestos de Ordem Venusiana is something of an intergenerational pairing, however, as MONS VENERIS have been prolifically polluting the underground since 2003 while ORDEM SATANICA, by comparison, started their near-equally prolific onslaught in 2014.

Nevertheless, as representatives of the Portuguese Black Metal, here on Negros Manifestos de Ordem Venusiana do both hordes create provocative portrayals of their unique darkness and despair.

ORDEM SATANICA are on Side A and unfurl three haunting and medieval tracks, roaming the castle with that spectral rawness they’ve truly made their own the last few years.

MONS VENERIS are on Side B and offer an epic, side-long track that roams the rawest dungeons, spanning punkish bash and hypnotic hysteria alike, torrents of noise to ruin your soul.

Wracked by fever and indeed plague, ORDER OF NOSFERAT waste no time in infecting the faithful/faithless with a brand-new full-length, Arrival of the Plague Bearer. Almost too perfectly titled, Arrival of the Plague Bearer is an aristocratic intensification of the not-inconsiderable Necuratul debut. Where that album was fuck-off raw, ORDER OF NOSFERAT’s second album retains a rawness more regal, those melancholic melodies given ghoulish elucidation through more pronounced usage of dungeoned synth. In that regard, Arrival of the Plague Bearer again bears favorable comparison to vampiric pioneers like America’s Black Funeral as well as France’s Vlad Tepes, Mütiilation, Funeral, Blessed in Sin, or any number of bands orbiting the Black Legions or Concilium collectives. But, with the more maudlin textures unfurled so effortlessly here, ORDER OF NOSFERAT are now arriving at their own, plausibly idiosyncratic version of VAMPIRIC BLACK METAL.

Black Metal

Just last year, ORDER OF NOSFERAT emerged from the shadows with TWO full-lengths, Necuratul and Arrival of the Plague Bearer, both through PURITY THROUGH FIRE. Although just four months apart, both albums were the work of two prolific underground veterans: Count Revenant on strings, voice, and keys and drummer Anzillu. And while both are no strangers to black metal, the variety they unleashed with ORDER OF NOSFERAT was most definitely OLD, in every sense of the word. Undead vampiric black metal had truly arisen!
