Antaeus "Cut your flesh and worship Satan" LP (red/black marble)

Step into the whirlwind of aural violence with Antaeus, one of the rawest and most vitriolic black metal forces on the planet. Their debut album isn’t about innovation - it’s about conviction and death, delivering a ferocious homage to the genre’s unrelenting roots. With eight tracks of grinding chaos and haunting industrial interludes, this is black metal in its purest, most primal form. Turn it up and let the distorted production amplify the holocaust of sound: guitars that gouge and tear, hyperspeed drumming that pounds with chaotic precision, and MkM’s ferocious vocals, spitting blasphemy with maniacal rage. It’s like a razor-edged time machine back to the raw essence of black metal’s golden age, evoking the unfiltered aggression of early Immortal and the visceral ferocity of France’s extreme metal tradition. Antaeus doesn’t aim to redefine black metal - they aim to embody it, recapturing the old spirit with unwavering intensity. For those yearning for the grinding, flaying purity of black metal’s past, this album is a must-have. Bestial, relentless, and utterly uncompromising, Antaeus delivers a masterclass in sonic devastation. Highly recommended. Comes in red/black marble vinyl.
