Perdition Ekstasis Meta CD

Black metal, death metal, industrial metal: Matron Thorn has always manipulated their contours creating extreme and visionary music. ÆVANGELIST are perhaps his best-known musical incarnation, today stationed in Finland and shared with singer Stéphane Gerbaud (Anorexia Nervosa). Featuring MY DYING BRIDE's Aaron Stainthorpe as a guest vocalist on one track, "Perdition Ekstasis Meta" is the pinnacle of Thorn/Gerbaud's new ÆVANGELIST, a monumental space opera of industrial blackened death metal. The album moves in the nightmarish, chaotic and dissonant groove typical of a genre that the band has helped to refine, but with a more pronounced melodic vein which translates into greater immediacy and expressive awareness. This explains the sonic richness and the imposing architectural constructions of "Endura," "Wicked Flesh to Spirit Sublimate" or "Ekstasis Divinæ," often crossed by formidable piano/synth scores that elevate the avant-garde component of the album to the nth degree. As always,
