Monumentum - In Absentia Christi (1995)


Italian atmospheric gothic doom with strong psychedelic tendencies. A texturally lush, enveloping combination of sounds and styles that subtly shift and evolve with each song, thereby complimenting the record's narrative, cinematic feel. Plus, they cover/reinterpret Visage.

Track listing:
1. Battesimo: Nero Opaco
2. A Thousand Breathing Crosses
3. Consuming Jerusalem
4. Fade to Grey [Visage cover]
5. On Perspective of Spiritual Catharsis
6. Σελυνης αγγελος
7. From These Wounds
8. Terra Mater Orfanorum
9. Nephtali
10. La Noia

I saw Him drowning in my excrements
In the dim light of a no-consolation oracle

    1. No problem, thanks for noticing! "Aesthetically" speaking, it's my favorite time of year
