black metal

Time to open the gates of hell again and indulge ourselves in a raw, primitive and downright evil atmosphere. Yes, that means it's black metal time. So get your spikes and corpse paint and follow me into the darkest realms of Brazil, where Opus Inferii will please the demons with their almost proto-black metal. 'Ancient Mysteries Unveiled' was already released by the band in 2012 but re-releases by Vacula and Satanath a bit earlier this year.
Opus Inferii is mainly influenced by the Scandinavian hordes from back in the nineties. Besides, these Brazilians seem to put out all the stops to make this a great old school album and that's exactly what it has become. After the traditional intro, we're being treated to haunting guitars, fierce screams and skull splitting drums. In nine songs, this quartet definitely proves that living in a warm country doesn't affect your bleak, cold and brutal sound.
The album reaches highlights in 'Unveiled', 'Lumen Luzbel Obscurantii Satanae' and closer 'Anoint Of Suicide' but the whole album extremely enjoyable for any old school black metal fan. What Opus Inferii does, actually isn't new and perhaps some people will throw the word 'cliché' around. Yet, you don't have to be original, unique or renewing to make a decent album. The blackened hordes won't mind Opus Inferii joining their ranks. They will definitely embrace this splendid album.
