Els Focs Negres - Martiris Carnmvors: Himnes per a un Nou Apocalipsi

Emerging from the sun-scorched Moorish vast lands of southern Portugal, Els Focs Negres bring forth a new apocalypse in the form of a sonic storm upon this tainted land of sinners. Prepare to be engulfed! Their sophomore offering "Martiris Carnívors: Himnes per a un Nou Apocalipsi" delivers rampant, ecclesiastical, Catalan-sung blackened heavy/speed metal, showcasing their profound love for the occult themes and good old '80s heavy metal. The grit-encrusted vocals, seamlessly weaving between singing, wailing and screaming, sound delightfully deranged over the compelling riffs, while inspired harmony leads truly elevate the music. While obvious nods to bands like Accept, Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Judas Priest and Venom are evident, discerning listeners will also detect influences from more underground metal stalwarts like Kat, Brocas Helm, Filii Nigrantium Infernalium, OZ and Paul Chain. Despite these similarities, the band's unique personality shines through in their unhinged approach. With it's thunderous and sweeping sound, this new Eucharist heralds chaos, calling on the devout to expect the unexpected, kneel, pray and be wary, for these five maniacs are on a mission to claim your very souls. Embrace their madness and dive headfirst into the fiery depths of this infernal sound.
