Oula! je l'ai pas fait exprès promis, ça vient de tomber!!!
Coming six years after its predecessor, 'In Extremis' is total
supremacy and shows the band on top of the craft. The album featuring
ten new songs reeking of brimstone and dead meat, is a “this way or no
way” work. Black as a night and dense as tar, it offers a whirlwind of
chaotic currents ready to overthrow all things holy. As one of the
lyrics says, God is to be slain. Meaning “at the point of death”
or “under extreme circumstances” in Latin, 'In Extremis' is yet another
apex reached by Azarath. Offering a furious ride through the
netherworlds, the effort is an experience one of a kind, offering Metal
of Death supreme. The band's vision and reverence for the force of Death
has been captured by the eerie painting of
Marta Promińska: Hypnagogic Painting, which adorns the album's cover. Recorded in various locations between March and November 2016, the opus was mixed and mastered by
Haldor Grunberg/
