sashavonkarl74 Many thanks to Regain Records, a nice gesture, much appreciated!

This is Ofermod's 5th studio album, one that had Nebiros (Malign, ex-Mephorash) on vocal duties, while mastermind Belfagor was always there, leading the furious horde of his orthodox BM opera with help from Sweden's illustrious sessions musicians. Favorite track: Consecration.

mourner And yet another great full length by Ofermod that is so convincing, well crafted and full of spectacular ideas. Every song catches the listeners attention in its own way making 'Mysterium Iniquitatis' a real masterpiece of black metal, full of rousing melodies and the necessary fierceness. Thanks, Ofermod. Favorite track: Loyal to Belial.

about

Release date: December 3rd (CD/MC/digital)
(vinyl release date: March 29th 2022)

SHADOW RECORDS (distributed & marketed by REGAIN RECORDS) is proud to present OFERMOD’s highly anticipated fifth album, Mysterium Iniquitatis, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
By now, OFERMOD should require no introduction. Formed back in the dark days of 1996, the band released their debut EP, Mystérion Tés Anomias, in 1998. Although a mere two songs, OFERMOD’s opening salvo sowed the seeds for the orthodox black metal movement that would begin to blossom in the new millennium, alongside fellow SHADOW RECORDS alumni FUNERAL MIST and MALIGN. Crime and chaos followed mainman Belfagor everywhere he went, and the band’s momentum remained halted. However, OFERMOD eventually became a working entity again, starting with 2008’s Tiamtü full-length, and through magick and will did more recordings follow: Thaumiel (2012), the two-song Serpents’ Dance EP (2014), Sol Nox (2017), and the posthumous Pentagrammaton, originally intended to be the band’s debut album. Each one put forth a pivotal piece of the ever-evolving puzzle of OFERMOD – ever the same, yet always different.

And the puzzle continues to be eternal, no matter when or how an OFERMOD recording arises. Such can be said for Mysterium Iniquitatis, which sees the original lineup joined together once again – Belfagor on guitar and vocalist Nebiros (MALIGN, MEPHORASH) – with session bass by Magnus “Devo” Andersson (ex-MARDUK) and session drums by Calle Larsson. Indeed, Mysterium Iniquitatis immediately reminds of that infinitely influential Mystérion Tés Anomias EP, but tempered by age, experience, and poise. At once martial and mesmerizing, fiery and furious, but executed with a crispness and finesse that’s the penultimate in professionalism, Mysterium Iniquitatis presents OFERMOD at their tightest and tautest, their characteristically malefic melodicism taking on new contours when put through such a startlingly accomplished soundfield. Likewise, Nebiros’ vocals bring back the grimness of yore, straddling past, present, and future with equal aplomb; his clear enunciation truly raises the hackles. The production – courtesy of Andersson at Endarker Studios – cuts like a gleaming knife and rusty axe simultaneously, the perfect iron-fisted complement to the band’s ever-surging and ceaselessly unfolding songwriting here. Special mention must be made of the male choirs on the opening title track – courtesy of Thomas Ericksson (Year of the Goat) and Lars Broddesson (ex-MARDUK) – conveying a grandiosity beyond compare.

With suitably grandiose cover artwork courtesy of John Albin Hampus Ekström, Mysterium Iniquitatis is the vital & virile entrance into OFERMOD’s fourth decade of existence.

Melinoë
by Akhlys

supported by 67 fans who also own “Mysterium Iniquitatis”

Five years after The Dreaming I, this follow-up continues the terrifying and wondrous music of Naas Alcameth's nightmarish shadow realms, creating one of the most innovative and fascinating sounds in extreme metal. 'Ephialtes' is absolutely sensational, opening with incredible power, and building to one of the album's highlights starting at 1:31. 'Incubatio' is equally cataclysmic, with its dark ambient intro, followed by blistering blast beats, until the apocalyptic shriek at 2:51 — unreal! Obsidian One

This latest release is especially fierce, a ferocious blend of black metal and industrial that has only grown on me. It may even surpass Melinoë, no easy feat. 'The Mask of Night-Speaking' builds to a cataclysmic crescendo, erupting into a fury of the blackest kind at 6:00, as if the entire track was meant for that one moment — a true Akhlys signature. 'Eye of the Daemon' is equally powerful, steeped in nightmare-inspired soundscapes, with 1:54 also showcasing the raw force of this dark art. Obsidian One
