Mons Veneris - Vastlands of My Decayed Realm (2009)

Previously on OPIUM HUM:

Mons Veneris - Inferno (2005)

Mons Veneris - ...To Rape the Nazarene (2006) + Abismo a Céu Aberto (2006)

Mons Veneris - As 4 Submersões No Corpo Diabólico (2013)

Maybe my favorite Mons Veneris record. Vastlands of My Decayed Realm finds them in black metal mode, but it's a frightening, dissonant take on the genre that feels just as fucked-up as the project's more overtly experimental releases. You'd be forgiven for mistaking this for a lost LLN classic.

Track listing:

1. The Cremation of Light

2. Vastlands of My Decayed Realm

3. Darkmoon of the Vampire

4. Cursed and Tormented for All Eternity

5. Return to Chaos and Void

Misery lurks in the catacomb of the master

Powers of the night

Mons Veneris - ... To Rape the Nazarene (2006) + Abismo a Céu Aberto (2006)

Two tapes of deranged, kvlt-as-fvck Portuguese black metal. Ghoulish vocals echoing over a barely comprehensible, reverb-laden wall of muffled drums and dissonant guitars.

Track listing:
-... To Rape the Nazarene-
1. Eternal Darkness
2. Christian Holocaust
3. Blasphemous Sexual Torture
4. My Weakly Decaying Soul
5. Human Slaughter
6. Antichrist
7. Dies Irae
-Abismo a Céu Aberto-
1. Abismo a Céu Aberto
2. Morte II

The flesh withers beyond logical recognition
The stench of a dirty cave transforms
By becoming the most luxurious castle
