THE METAL DECK, the heaviest card games you'll ever play...
This album could be seen as either a tribute or a farewell note, or maybe both. It was recorded after the death of founding member Ruahanathanas, which was her last wish. Known for her work with acts like Yayla and Viranesir, Ruhan started this project to deal with her longing for freedom, her battle to understand religion, society, life and death. After her suicide, the other members took it upon themselves to finish this farewell.

The result is a harsh, chaotic and schizophrenic album that gnaws on your very conscience. In a way you can compare this to the vintage black metal sound of the early nineties, when Scandinavian hordes of misfits gained attention. Much like those acts, this album is covered in a thick gloomy atmosphere, representing depression, terror, fear. and dark spirituality. In four significant themes ('Black Flame', 'Illusion', 'Death' & 'Suicide', this act drags you along their darkest thoughts and emotions.

Besides the gritty, raunchy and grim elements of black metal, there seem to be influences from a number of other genres. In 'Black Flame III - Death Is Life' and 'Illusion I - Religion' I sense elements from punk and noise rock. On other occasions flashes of hardcore or even sludge metal shine through, mainly in the fierce drums and often suffocating riffs. But the main part of this album is rancid blackened noise, which places this right into the underground cult-scene of the black metal world.

And that is probably how this album should be described: a testament of underground cult, twisted, controversial and uncompromising. Like all of Merdumgiriz' releases, each copy of 'Into The Cunt Of The Witch' CD, tape, t-shirt and patch will be made by hand in the artisanal style. Emir paints the discs, cuts and inserts the prints for the jewel case and jacket, making all non-machined parts from scratch. With that in mind, this truly is a great tribute and a must-have for fans of the deepest regions of the world of extreme music.
