Today, Invictus Productions announces
November 25th as the international release date for Lucifericon's highly
anticipated second album, The Warlock of Da'ath,
on CD and vinyl LP formats.
"After opening the sorcerous gate through Al-Khem-Me-cal processes
on the previous album, we have again embraced every atom of the blackest mass
to conjure darkness from a more cabalistic perspective..."
Indeed, Lucifericon's Al-Khem-Me debut full-length
displayed the full fathom of the band's Metal of Death. While they'd teased
with a couple short-lengths in the recent past, that momentous 2018 album
created an endlessly slipstreaming (and endlessly fascinating) vortex of
malevolence and memorability. It was death
METAL forged in the fires of the late '80s and early '90s, but never was it
blinkered by that all-too-considerable past.
And so it goes with Lucifericon's
second album, The Warlock of Da'ath.
"Musically, we have always drawn influences from all corners of the
musical abyss," the band continue. There are noticeable differences
compared to previous material, but we do not stray from our path. In fact we
have deepened the path with even more layers than before. After shedding these layers
of skin from the phenomenal world, this serpent called Lucifericon will reveal
itself."
Naturally, within that cauldron bubbles black metal and also doom, alongside
that firm foundation of elder death metal. But the manner in which Lucifericon stir that
cauldron makes all the difference; verily, it emerges as DEATH metal, but an
incredibly nuanced and engaging form of such, shapeshifting (and subsequently
mesmerizing) with absolute ease. Compounding this uptick in songwriting nous is
the production on The Warlock of Da'ath:
neither "old school" nor pejoratively new & sterile, this
increased clarity simply heightens the intensity whilst revealing all those
tastefully subtle details. Taken another way, the sulfurous fog swarms and
swirls, slashing with ritual knives from the boundless shadows; the portent of
doom is sealed and unassailable.
The Warlock of Da’ath starts
with a warning, before devouring you whole with death, doom, and black metal…in
the darkest form imaginable! Lucifericon have
hereby eclipsed their not-inconsiderable past.
