The Lurking Shadow of Death

by Ars Veneficium

supported by

Frosty Bear Ars Veneficium gets even better with each album, and have grown into a black metal powerhouse. Aggressive and melodic, and while there are elements of the muted melodicism of Finnish black metal, there is a strong Swedish undercurrent; this is a deadly combination, which makes the music both atmospheric and aggressive. Favorite track: My Tomb Under the Stars.

sashavonkarl74 Being a fan of Ronarg (also Antzaat & Bloedmaan) I can only rejoice listening to the pre-released tracks while waiting for the full opus to drop. Majestic melodic BM just as fine as Belgian chocolate, one of my favorites!! FFO of Seth, Antzaat, very highly recommended!! Favorite track: De Glorie van Dood.

about

Ars Veneficium, one of Belgium’s most prominent black metal acts is back with their 3rd full length album “The Lurking Shadow of Death”, 4 years after the release of their 2nd full length album “Usurpation of the Seven”.

With their new album The Lurking Shadow of Death it is clear that Ars Veneficium has not taken the song writing for granted and managed to overthrow their previous work once more with delivering only the best of their best on this record. From the compositions to the production to the artwork, one can undoubtedly say that this is their best work thus so far.

The lead guitars by Ronarg deliver some amazing melodies variated with some aggressive chords where the bass guitar (once again) plays some beautiful underlaying solo notes to create that extra atmosphere which is more or less the Ars Veneficium signature by now. The drum work has been delivered by no one else than Flo Musil (Theotoxin) who blasts his way throughout the album with some outstanding, highly skilled details giving the extra punch that this album absolutely deserves. The vocals are more furious than before and deliver a much wider range and diversity which lifts the whole album to a new level.

With The Lurking Shadow of Death, Ars Veneficium has delivered an absolute beast of a black metal album that every fan of old school, satanic or melodic black metal would appreciate! Raging black metal filled with atmosphere, melodies and pumping energy! A must have!
