More about 'Ars Vitae (Vici Solum)'

Swedish death metal veterans Diabolical deliver a crushing statement with "Ars Vitae (Vici Solum)", an album that showcases the band's evolution into darker, more sophisticated territories. The record opens with the brief but ominous "Ortus" before launching into the epic "Sightless 6", a nearly seven-minute journey through crushing riffs and atmospheric passages that set the tone for what's to come. The album seamlessly weaves between brutal death metal assaults and more introspective moments, with tracks like "The Gallery Of Bleeding Art" and "The One Who Bleeds" demonstrating the band's ability to craft memorable hooks within their extreme framework.

What makes this release particularly compelling is how Diabolical manages to maintain their aggressive edge while incorporating progressive elements and atmospheric interludes. Songs like "Vertigo" and "Children Of The Mushroom Cloud" showcase a band unafraid to experiment with dynamics and song structures, while the dual "Ashes" tracks serve as haunting bookends to the album's emotional journey. The production allows every instrument to breathe while maintaining the crushing weight necessary for effective death metal, creating an album that rewards both casual listening and deep analysis.

For fans of: Dissection, Unanimated, Necrophobic and Dark Tranquillity
