Animus Mortis - Atrabilis Residues From Verb Flesh

Review by Daniel Garcia

The album "Atrabilis Residues From Verb Flesh" by Animus Mortis is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that showcases the band's unique blend of black metal and doom metal. The album is a journey through the darkest corners of the human psyche, with each track delving deeper into the abyss.

The opening track, "Introitus/De Profundis," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its ominous, atmospheric soundscapes and haunting choirs. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through despair and hopelessness, with tracks like "The Great Red Dragon" and "The Blackening of Flesh" showcasing the band's ability to create a sense of dread and foreboding.

The album's standout track, "The Inner Cathedral," is a 15-minute epic that builds slowly, with layers of guitars and keyboards creating a dense, oppressive atmosphere. The track eventually explodes into a frenzied black metal assault, with blast beats and tremolo-picked riffs driving the song forward.

Summary by Daniel Garcia

"Atrabilis Residues From Verb Flesh" is a must-listen for fans of black metal and doom metal. The album is a masterclass in atmosphere and songwriting, and Animus Mortis proves themselves to be one of the most talented and innovative bands in the genre.
