Vinyl

8th studio album from this legendary Spanish Death Metal band. Despite their big change in line-up, they sound better, more brutal, heavier and intense than ever!! 100% AVULSED, a stunning album!!

A bunch of young bucks dead set on destruction, Oslo's HORRIFIER formed in 2022 and quickly set to work on their first sonic assaults. Their debut demo, Howls From the Grave, came as the year drew to a close, and just as quickly garnered the band attention in the underground. During the spring of this year, HORRIFIER had that demo compiled onto Cave of Death - Vol.1, a five-way split with Vile Apparition, Constant Torment, Goredawn, and Congealed Putrescence. Indeed, a new breed was rising from Norway, and they were bringing back undead sounds...

Pressed on black vinyl.

Tracks A1 to B2 from the Bearers Of Black Arts demo.
Tracks B3 and B4 from the The Premonition demo.
 

Whereas its predecessor, Vanskapning (Duplicate Records 2020), was arranged and recorded as one lengthy track, LORE does the exact opposite, consisting of 12 shorter instalments. Still constructed to be listened to as a whole, the pieces segue naturally into one another, creating a whole greater than the sum of it parts. Stylistically, the album lands somewhere between the monolithic shadow of Vanskapning, and the earlier more conventionally structured works. However, the way the parts are arranged bring to mind a movie soundtrack, which makes sense as the early embryo of the album was vastly inspired by Charles Bernstein's Relentless Attack which featured in the 1982 supernatural horror film The Entity. With the lyrics also drawing inspiration from horrific tales, and unique, eerie artwork, LORE becomes so much more than just another metal record, and something of an artefact of horror itself.

These demos are a book and to a crazy time in the 90s when I was introduced to underground extreme metal. In the summer of 1991 my friend and I Chaz Necromodeus Shoals we’re friends who hung out and enjoyed extreme metal. We got to go to shows and See Bandz like sinister black, fatal, ZOMBIFIED, Lucifers Hammer, extreme bands in the Michigan metal scene and decided to start our own extreme metal band. Chaz was already playing in a band call Black mercenary at time and wanted to venture into extreme death metal. I heard a song called Hell‘s furnace that they were working on and was totally on board. Through the summer we worked on several songs and even had dreams of moving to Florida. We played our first and only show in Lansing with Lucifer‘s hammer, what seemed like the beginning was the ending ultimately. Necro had linked up with Jeff (Thsort) the guitar player from the Lucifer’s Hammer to start masochist. I went for the opportunity to fill-in for Jeff on guitar for hammer. And then that following summer recorded the burning church demo. The band began to fall apart miss shows miss practice I grew increasingly tired of not being productive and joined masochist the end of 1993. Working through that summer recorded a 7 inch for Moribund records and a four track demo entitled nocturnal practices. After the founder Jeff abruptly left masochist due to drug issues we were left with what to do next. So we decided to resurrect summon and proceeding forward with fire turns everything black demo . To me this release is like a book end of a crazy time in US black metal history where in a few years so many things happened. In that time I was involved with wind of the black mountains it’s a project of Jeff and started the idea creating my own side project dark psychosis. this release in capsules the the beginning of the end and a new beginning.
