Ad Mortem Et Tenebrae is an album to be released on December 21, by Polish atmospheric black metal project Nyctophilia. Forty-one minutes long, the record has five tracks: Untill Death..., With Hate Freezing My Veins, Ad Mortem Et Tenebrae, When Stars Shine No More and Through Fullmoon Forest. With a robust, consistent and lugubrious style, that passionately comprehends the aggressiveness of its furiously laborious melodies, the harmonies of the album are mainly characterized by a virulent, dilated and mordacious precipice of renitent sonorous hostility and effective vagueness, that conceives in the hazardous eminence of its stylistic demise the standard principles of black metal. In a general evaluation, an excellent album – extraordinary, in some passages –, that never sounds generic, ordinary or insignificant. On the contrary: displays a perceptive and modest degree of originality, being the work of a musician that definitely is capable of developing with a discreet virtuosity its own trend of black metal. 

With solid guitar lines and a cohesive versatility, that intelligently alternates slow and rapid melodies, at least in the beginning – thereafter the slow ones become predominant –, the traditional razor blade sharp screaming vocals, sardonically embraced by pungent, evocative and strident guitar lines, that complement one another with striking vehemence and intensity, converges to a perfect alignment, fully sidelined with the whole conjuncture of its perfunctorily vivid sinister sonority. 

Expanding the harmonies in a disruptive and aggressive musical texture, the style displayed by Nyctophilia is cohesive, intelligently designed and executed. Despite its apparent simplicity, the overall extension and the legitimacy of its genuine features are embraced over the sinister despondency of its macabre and lugubrious symphonies, that extrapolates beyond its harmonious visionary sense of permanent desolation an abnormal stupor full of agony and dispersive infinity, that is so inadvertently impregnated into the sound, that you feel yourself transported into a parallel dimension of delusional affliction and demise. 

Delivering a powerfully suggestive sound, that intermediates the urgency of its catastrophic perception of reality with a sensorial world of draconian darkness that paradoxically subdues and anesthetizes the sensibility of the listener, Ad Mortem Et Tenebrae is a vigorous and exceptionally genuine black metal album, that sincerely delivers the blood of its own strength and creativity in each note of every song, presenting a release that definitely reinvents the genre in an unquestionably furious and authentic disposition.
