Necromantia "Ancient pride" M-LP (red vinyl)

Necromantia's "Ancient Pride" is a masterwork of Greek occult brilliance. This isn't your typical blast of second-wave black metal; it's an enigmatic symphony where tradition collides with experimentation. What sets this album apart? It's all about the bass - not one, but two. One of them is an 8-string beast that doesn’t just underpin the sound; it challenges the guitar for dominance. It drives melodies, shreds solos, and reshapes the black metal soundscape in ways you’ve never heard before. Complementing it is a traditional bass that stands tall on its own, breaking free from the genre's usual murk to deliver rhythmic intricacy and undeniable presence. From the battle of flutes and keys against searing guitar riffs in the title track to Daoloth's haunting vocal range, oscillating between icy screeches and throaty growls, this album is a sonic journey. Whether it’s the visceral black metal anthems or experimental folk-inspired interludes. Reissued here with 5 tracks for a new era of metalheads, this bloodred 12" vinyl is limited to 498 copies, it comes in a microtene innerbag, with a printed innersleeve on 220g paper, and a sturdy 350g jacket.
