Keepers of the Flame

Mortiga - I, Cursed

Debut release by this new, mysterious one-man project from France. From the sulphuric pits of hatred, and stygian realms of the death of the psyche emerges Mortiga with 20 minutes of engaging, but certainly furious Black Metal. Combining some more blasting moments of old school influence, including the rather intrepid percussion, often with some odd signatures and changes, with moments of serpentine, hypnotizing melodicism, conveying timeless energies that channel your conscience to the master in the beyond. For fans of acts like Pa Vesh En, Black Cilice, Sortilegia, but also some more sulphurous dissonance in acts like S.V.E.S.T., Antaeus, or even Vassafor and other vulcanic, cavernous Death Metal acts. - Rites of Pestilence
