Mortuary Drape "Necromantic doom returns" CD Digibook

Step into the shadowy origins of Mortuary Drape with this stunning digibook compilation. Featuring their iconic demos Necromancy (1987) and Doom Return (1989), this release captures the raw, eerie essence of a band that redefined the boundaries of occult metal. Mortuary Drape emerged in 1986, blending the grim ferocity of Venom with the dark mysticism of Italy's underground scene, drawing inspiration from bands like Death SS and Black Hole. With a sound steeped in 70s experimental music and early black metal, they forged a path uniquely their own, one they famously describe as Occult Black Metal. Known for their ever-changing lineup of "sect members" and their theatrical live performances—complete with corpses, hoods, candles, and occult symbols—Mortuary Drape is a band cloaked in mystery and unyielding in their vision. This collection showcases the raw energy and otherworldly beginning that would later define their legacy. Whether you're a devoted fan or a newcomer, these early recordings are essential listening for anyone drawn to the intersection of 80s experimental music, early black metal, and occult themes.
