SARPANITUM: Atmospheric
Blackened Death Metal Strategists Featuring Current/Former Members Of
Mithras, Lantlos And Tenebrous Aeon Drop New Hymn Via Decibel
Blessed Be My Brothers is the imminent new full-length from atmospheric blackened death metal strategists, SARPANITUM, who feature within their rants current and former affiliates of Mithras, Lantlos and Tenebrous Aeon.
The ten-track follow-up to 2011's critically-championed Fedelium EP, SARPANITUM's Blessed Be My Brothers
was composed over a two-year period, tracked at Dreaming Studios UK by
drummer Leon Macey (Contrarian, Mithras, The Senseless et al) and
delivers a delightfully diseased fusion of traditional death metal,
blackened riff onslaughts, and twisted melodic atmospheres all centered
on the abysmal consequence of religious warfare. Disciples worshipping
at the altars of Gorguts, Nile, Anata, Kataklysm, Morbid Angel, Ulcerate
and the like should pay heed.
In
celebration of its approaching release via Willowtip Records next
month, today the brutality dealers at Decibel Magazine offer up fourth
cut, "Glorification Upon The Powdered Bones Of The Sundered Dead," for
public consumption and cerebral intoxication.
Guitarist/bassist Tom Hyde elaborates of the consuming ode, "'Glorification...' is an epitome of SARPANITUM which
is fast, ancient, atmospheric, brutal death metal with a blackened
edge. Expect to be bombarded by blastbeats, pulverized by kick drums,
ripped apart by relentless guitars, ascending to divinity by glorious
choirs, tremble in the presence of enormous immortal vocals and provoked
by imperial, majestic leads and harmonies." Adds
vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Tom Innocenti of the tune's concept, "The
song is about an unspecified individual who awakes in the aftermath of
battle. Musically and lyrically it reflects the emotional impact of
surviving and the crippling guilt that resides in most of those who
would escape death."

Named in part after Babylonian mother goddess, Sarpanit, meaning "the shining one," companion of the chief god, Marduk, SARPANITUM
has maintained a maniacal DIY ethos, crumbling stages throughout Europe
supporting the likes of Insision, Visceral Bleeding, Desecration, The
Monolith Death Cult and Macabre since their formation in 2003. Based on
Babolyanian folklore, the band's Galactic Records-released debut
full-length, Despoilment Of Origin (2007) was an eloquently
guttural performance of mythological blackened death metal that reaped
the praise of underground listeners and media outlets in the proverbial
"know." Ultimate Guitar championed its, "stellar... musicianship,"
naming it a, "fierce and confident death metal record," while The Metal
Observer, in a 9/10 rating, added, "equal parts brutal and beautiful, SARPANITUM's debut is easily one of the best death metal albums to be released this year." The band's Fidelium
EP, independently-released four years later, reaffirmed their
inexorable brutality both sonically and conceptually. Crowned, "one of
the most compelling death metal releases of the year," by Last Rites and
guaranteed to, "tickle the taste buds of anyone into this kind of
domineering metal in the vein of The Monolith Deathcult and Mithras,"
the EP established SARPANITUM's ability to cohesively meld audio
savagery and epic, cinematic segments, centering itself on the ultimate
perils of religious fanaticism using first person perspectives from
genuine participants of the First Crusade.
Blessed Be My Brothers will be unleashed via Willowtip Records on February 17th, 2015.
