A tolling bell, a howling wind and chants of dire imprecation announce the return of Christ Dismembered! Thus, Australia’s chief advocates of apostasy and servants of the beast are back! The fabled followers of darkness have finally unleashed their second full-length album of blood hungry black metal, Ov Vampiricy!
About the new album
As the opening invocation fades, a jagged, circling riff spirals downwards before exploding into the furious blast beat inferno of Fool’s Gambit. Black metal as old as the grave, built upon a bleeding throat rasp, rampant drumming and guitars that dance like spiders across crumbling tombs, roars forth… Indeed, from the taut, nerve stretching riffs of Mother Of Demons to the devilish refrains of The Numbers Oppose. The haunting tones of The Banishment are placed perfectly at the album’s heart, drawing you deeper into the darkness… Where A Ritual Most Foul waits to drive cold spikes of guitar into your skull with iron hammer drums.
Each element of Christ Dismembered plays its part perfectly! Certainly, building an edifice of unapologetic black metal, unswerving in its focus and intensity. Child Devouring Servants Of Satan is a magnificent, blood drenched rampage through the temples of innocence and purity. Also, it’s murderous gets malice matched only by its sorcerous songcraft. However, even that must bend the knee to Riddled With Sin. A triumphant climax of evil, epic in scope and daunting in its fury, that brings Ov Vampiricy full circle and closes the door to the mausoleum once more.
About the band
Over the years of their crusade against the light, Christ Dismembered have performed alongside the likes of Taake, Immolation, Krisiun, Angelcorpse, Belphegor, Dark Funeral and many more, sharing stages with the very best that the extreme music world has to offer. Now, they are ready to ride out into the world once more, bringing with them the heretical gospel that is Ov Vampiricy. On February 25th the children of the night will be unbound and their infernal music will echo through the darkness once more. Open your ears to their cries, open your arms to their embrace – or grip your crucifix in shaking hands and weep.
