It makes a difference in effort and time, either to dig six feet deep or to build Necropolis. German Death Metal band Venenum decided for the latter... and it was worth every fucking second of wait. 5 years after the successful s/t minialbum, Venenum strike with their debut full-length entitled “Trance of Death”, due out on March 17th, 2017.
The album presents Venenum on a new level of brutality and contains new & never before heard layers of darkness. The six new compositions + introduction-theme are a grand melt of unique visions and unaltered tradition, weaved & merged into a complex unit of sacred horror. “Trance of Death” is far away from being another one-dimensional tribute to the grave... it is reverence & praise, a hymn to the impending end of all things.
Twisting & turning, up & down, back & forth, entangling songs and parts evolve in a constant flow. “Trance of Death” is the most serious approach towards creating a soundtrack to Death. Join a 50 min ride through the deepest depths of ripping death, the wildest wastelands of abominable black and the darkest peaks of sinister rock. Or to be plain: on the A-side they kill, on the B-side you die.
High-class songwriting skills, supremely possessed execution & performance and a top-notch production will catapult this album to one of the most signifying & relevant releases in 2017. Both immensely beautiful and intensely terrifying, this release will easily open the doors to the death metal pantheon for Venenum.
Artwork and layout was done by Iron Fist favourite Timo Ketola (Dissection, Deathspell Omega).
