Luciferian Rites - WHEN THE LIGHT DIES CD

Always on the hunt for the best in the black metal underground, MORIBUND RECORDS is proud to present LUCIFERIAN RITES' debut for the label, “When the Light Die”. An otherwise-undiscovered gem in the darkest BM underground, LUCIFERIAN RITES hail from Mexico and have one previous full-length (Evangelion of the Black Misanthropy) to their name. Now, with “When the Light Die”, the quartet are prepared to take their freezing-cold attack to wider audiences. Despite their geography, LUCIFERIAN RITES here extract the most potent elements of classic Finnish and Polish black metal, distilling each chilling essence into a sorcerous spell that's as authentic as it comes. And yet the band back up their blasphemous ruminations with an ever-insistent pulse and alternately melancholic/majestic riffing that could've come straight from 1995. Bolstered by a production that balances rawness and well-roundedness, “When the Light Die” will surely make a rightful name for LUCIFERIAN RITES. Be prepared for When the Light Dies!
