A new review section: Buried by Time And Dust

We added a new review section, coincidentally another Mayhem reference following 'The Past is Alive', with the title 'Buried by Time and Dust'. Over the years, a lot of promos have been gathering dust simply because a fresh wave of promos arrived the following month and they were consigned to oblivion. We will review them here to make a clear distinction with our other reviews. We will also use it to complete a discography in terms of reviews. Feel free to contact us if you would like to submit your music or would like to join the staff.

Amor Fati Productions is proud to present Antiversum’s highly anticipated second album, ‘De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia’, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Antiversum is a nihilistic entity that creates a disturbing and stormy amalgamation of Black, Doom, and Death Metal, manifesting the end of the universe and the dawn of nothingness in audial waves. Its journey into the void began in the spring of 2015, releasing the band’s debut demo, ‘Total Vacuum’, to international acclaim, followed in 2017 by their first full-length, ‘Cosmos Comedenti’.

Antiversum now stretches the spaces between the void even further, lurking within with a menace that is truly unsettling. Destination: ‘De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia’, the band’s long-awaited second full-length. Antiversum are nothing if not perfectly monikered, and this latest venture into that void proves as much with greater power and poignancy. At times suffocatingly dense and vaporous as ether at others, ‘De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia’ creates an all-consuming headspace of cosmic collapse, its five-song / 56-minute duration the optimal length for obliterating immersion. Antiversum once again exhibit mastery of nuance, texture, and detail; whereas so many bands otherwise branded “cosmic” or “cavernous” forsake songwriting for hazy / lazy texture, their compositions bend and break and billow forth reborn with a startling focus, a clarity that doesn’t seek to obscure but rather to highlight (or blacklight?) the many miles of fathomless horror both above and below. “Articulating the inarticulable,” then, and thus horror compounded hundredfold: merge and emerge with ‘De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia’.
