From the forbidden depths of vampiric sorcery emerges Black Funeral's most haunting conjuration, "Empire of Blood" - a spectral tapestry woven from the arcane mysteries of the undead nobility. This otherworldly opus channels the ancient magicks that flow through immortal veins, where centuries-old rituals bind the living to eternal darkness. Black Funeral is one of the originators of "Vampyric Black Metal" from the early to mid 1990's!
Each track unfolds like an incantation from blood-stained grimoires, driven by haunting tremolo melodies that spiral through the shadows like phantoms in midnight procession. The album's ethereal atmosphere conjures visions of pale aristocrats performing forbidden rites in candlelit chambers, their empire sustained not by conquest but by the dark arts that transcend mortal understanding.
Serpentine riffs weave through the silence like whispered spells, while hypnotic rhythms pulse with the heartbeat of ancient, vampyric. The production's spectral clarity preserves each nuance of the supernatural - every note suspended in the liminal space between life and death, each vocal invocation rising from lips that have tasted eternity.
Melancholic passages drift through the compositions like mist through gothic arches, evoking the profound loneliness of immortal existence. These moments of haunting beauty reveal the tragic splendor of creatures who have traded their souls for dominion over the night.
"Empire of Blood" stands as Black Funeral's most atmospheric testament - a sonic séance that channels the vampiric essence through centuries of accumulated darkness. This is music for the witching hour, when the veil grows thin and the ancient magicks of the blood-sworn nobility stir in their eternal slumber.
Re-issue, heavyweight (180g) LP in a black poly-lined innersleeve, gatefold jacket, full-color printed on 350g carton, coated paper (semi-gloss), all assembled in a plastic overbag.
