Interesting Italian doom-black metal hybrid. It's not really "blackened doom" or "doom-y black metal." I might describe Shadows' Blood, the first of two Cultus Sanguine LPs, as sounding as though it consists entirely of the slower parts of a symphonic black metal song. Pipe organs, simplistic leads, and vocals that switch back and forth from a pained moan to more traditional black metal howls.
Track listing:
1. The Calling Illusion
2. Il Songue
3. Shadows' Blood
4. We Have No Mother
5. The Graves Forgot My Name
6. Lady of Lies
7. On These Nocturnal Wings
8. Le Tombe
9. Silent Tunes of Falling Blood
10. Among Shadows
Cover death cover suicide
This blood covers even dreams
Lay on earth as a sigh
A red mark of no return
Disgusting cover
ReplyDeleteOf all the albums with absolutely revolting covers I've posted on here (click the "death metal" tag for some samples) this is the one that you've chosen to single out? It's probably an old-time-y death portrait, which was a weirdly common practice back in the day. Here's an article about it: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-36389581
DeleteYeah, l know, lm the usual guy that gets horrified by babys coffins and stuff. When l read Another Tuern of the screw is when everything begun. I live your blog btw. Yes lm not very much of a fan of DM but know a little bit their covers. Aaagh
ReplyDeleteWell, after reading the bbc article l would say the cultus sanguine cover photo is like a bay city rollers cover compared to those there if that has any sense
