REVERORUM IB MALACHT To Release New Album In September
July 7, 2014, 10 years ago
The Ajna Offensive announces September 16th as the international release date for the CD version of Reverorum ib Malacht's second album, De Mysteriis Dom Christi. The follow-up to the cult-classic debut, 2011's Urkaos, both the CD version and LP version of De Mysteriis Dom Christi will feature entirely different tracklistings as well as music. The limited-edition vinyl version will be available shortly, and is expected to sell out immediately.
Reverorum ib Malacht originally operated as part of the Swedish "anti-cosmic" black metal community until members Lundin and Mikael converted to Catholicism around 2009. Lundin was known for his involvement with Dödfödd, Emit, and Ofermod. Ever since then, the debate has not been about how captivating and haunting the music is, but about whether or not this band can still be "black metal." On De Mysteriis Dom Christi, the band uses the phrase "Roman Catholic Black Metal."
Antagonism reigns. Mysterious, utterly obscure, divergent, murky, lo-if, eerie, transcendental, old, occult: what do all of these adjectives have in common? They not only refer to the music created by Reverorum ib Malacht, but they are also embody much of what one experiences in those epic cathedrals that plague Christendom. Cover and respective tracklistings for both versions are as follows:
