AKERCOCKE Proclaim The Imminent Arrival Of Antichrist
March 20, 2007, 17 years ago
British masterful dark lords AKERCOCKE proclaim the title of their forthcoming album to be Antichrist.
Released on Earache Records on May 28th, 2007 the heavy and sinister foursome had this to say on the album's imminent arrival: "The concept of Antichrist is wonderfully rich. It represents a supreme opposite. The epithet of the great antagonist provided a wonderful metaphoric framework within which to work. We have strived to make elements of the recording as evil as possible. Creating atmospheres that are deliberately uncomfortable. Spurred on by a rage enhanced by the complete disgust with our recent history, we didn't have to dig very deeply to find the malice and rancour sufficient to evoke the spirit of violent antithesis. Antichrist is the perfect banner for a collection of songs that are tales of opposition, sanguinary lust and the axiom of our raison d'etre."
For a taster of these tales of opposition visit Akercocke's MySpace page or see the band at these two very special shows:
