Darkend - Viaticum [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.

Viaticum flows out from the Sacred Spaciousness beyond duality, enshrouding its Silent Nature with the voice of ancient ceremonial chants, dungeon synth ambience and sulphur riffs engraved on arcane metal patterns. Combining shades that span from Mercyful Fate to Dissection ('An Incautious Exhumation Of What Lies Beneath Forgotten Ground') and from Dead Can Dance ('In Your Multitude') to Arvo Part ('In My Multitude'), the album enlightens an immersive and cathartic pathway towards the deepest hidden fields of who we really are.

DARKEND is the band fronted by Animae (also guest vocalist for GAAHL'S WYRD on various European festivals & venues).

After a rather ordinary start based on the likes of orchestral extreme metal, DARKEND developed a quite peculiar artistic style blending black metal patterns, ritualambience, dark classic metal riffs and solos in the vein of Mercyful Fate/Angel Witch and a ritualistic, hypnotic vibe explicitly created in order to generate a deep sonic & Spiritual transcendence.

Having toured Europe thrice alongside CRADLE OF FILTH, ROTTINGCHRIST, SAMAEL, MELECHESH & KEEPOFKALESSIN, the band had the privilege to collaborate with some of the most renowned artists of the scene: while AttilaCsihar (MAYHEM), NiklasKvarforth (SHINING) & SakisTolis (ROTTINGCHRIST) offered their voices for 'The Canticle Of Shadows' (2016, Non Serviam Records), the profound friendship between Gaahl & Animae bloomed a breathtaking collaboration with WARDRUNA's Lindy-FayHella immortalized on the album 'Spiritual Resonance' (2019, Dark Essence Records).

The band displays some intense live rituals under their belt (culminated with an exhibition at the iconic Norwegian MIDGARDSBLOTFEST2022 alongside WARDRUNA, HELIUNG & ROTTINGCHRIST), an experience not to be missed.
