Byaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look at that artwork.<\/p>\n

FUCKING LOOK AT IT! 0\/5 flushes! If you’re not at half mast right now, you need to see your primary care physician. Or a coroner. You might be dead. Or, at least your dick is.<\/p>\n

New information for one\u00a0of the most highly anticipated releases of 2014 has\u00a0been released.\u00a0France’s inimitable black metal and avant-garde monsters Blut Aus Nord<\/strong> will release their album Memoria Vetusta III: Saturnian Poetry<\/em> on October 10th. The album will be available in CD (digipack) and Gatefold LP for us unabashed Luddites, and also as a digital download for you techno-centric warlocks. The album is being released by the always excellent Debemur Morti Productions, one of the best labels in extreme metal\u00a0(their stable also includes Archgoat, Behexen, Dodsengel, Manes, and Monolithe).<\/p>\n

From Debemur Morti: “The most influential Black Metal band of the last decade is finally back, two years after the last full length album, Cosmosophy, the monumental conclusion of the unforgettable 777 trilogy. This time, far from its filthy industrial realm, the enigmatic entity offers nothing less than one of the finest melodic, epic and grandiose Black Metal album ever!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Memoria Vetusta III: Saturnian Poetry<\/em> is the cap to BAN<\/strong>‘s Memoria Vetusta<\/em> series, which began all the way back in\u00a01996 with the incredible Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers of the Icy Age. <\/em>Coming immediately on the heels of BAN’s amazing debut album, Ultima Thulee<\/em>, part I continued with the debut’s sound and thematics: Norse\/Pagan mythology, frostbitten atmosphere, and some of black\u00a0metal’s most beautiful and memorable melodies. Part II in the series, Memoria Vetusta II: Dialogue with the Stars<\/em>, was released in 2009. In the intervening\u00a013-years, Blut Aus Nord mastermind Vindsval explored music’s nightmarish underbelly, melding black metal with other elements such as industrial and noise. In stark contrast to the mechanical whirring and\u00a0haunting starkness of albums like The Work Which Transforms God<\/em> and Mort <\/em>(released in 2003 and 2006, respectively), part II in the Memoria Vetusta series was BAN returning to their icy roots after a long layoff, offering a melodic masterpiece clad in\u00a0a more traditional black metal structure and with more conventional songwriting.
