At the Darkest Night

By A Mystery Man Writer

The darkest night has come. In the middle of a fire and blood ritual, Evilcult releases his debut album, the most powerful and ambitious material released so far. Wrapped in magic, alcohol and Metal cult, At the Darkest Night brings all the aura of ancient and glorious times, but with a revitalizing and promising touch. Seeking references in the most traditional aspects of metal, the band forged their sound by mixing a lot of speed, heavy and rawness, with ambience, atmosphere, melody and feeling. It is difficult to classify their music at the first audition, but imagine a perfect mix between classic Speed metal, first wave of Black Metal and teutonic Thrash Metal, all this with certain touches of traditional Heavy Metal. Focused on recording a high level material, no effort, time and dedication were spared to extract the desired timbres and not just sound like another metal band with plasticized and boring production. Everything was thought and worked to bring the nostalgia and the power of old recordings, with valves, pedals, microphones, and feeling, where what mattered was to sound true and authentic, before all following a pattern of sonority and falling into sameness. The lyrics are varied and cover the spectrum of blasphemy, the occult, perversion, fiction and Heavy Metal cult. Although it is not a conceptual work, you can find several references in the lyrics that are interconnected with the cover art. The album will have its first CD version, being released worldwide on 6th june by the Chinese label Awakening Records. Its vinyl version is also being prepared and will be released until the end of the year through the German label Diabolic Might Records in black and color LP.
