Koldovstvo (vocals, guitars) and Haereticus (drums) from Canada started Sortilegia back in 2010 to create some raw and bleak Black Metal. After 2 demos Ván Records released their debut full-length called “Arcane Death Ritual” which was the beginning to spread their hypnotic riff driven dark art. With releasing “Sulphurous Temple” this somber duo are continuing the plague, as it is filled with desolate crude Black Metal. The tortured vocals of Koldovstvo are an asset on this album. Musically you can compare Sortilegia with an act like Mare, but with the note that the vocals are different. If you like “unpolished”, “despair” and “grim” in combination with your daily dose of Black Metal, you have to write an album on your want-list. (Ricardo)
