KARL SANDERS · Saurian Exorcisms | WHITE LP

White vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

Background information about 'Saurian Exorcisms'

The mastermind behind Nile's crushing death metal assault returns with another mesmerizing solo expedition into ancient mysticism and otherworldly soundscapes. "Saurian Exorcisms" finds Karl Sanders once again channeling his deep fascination with Egyptology and occult practices into a haunting collection of ambient compositions that feel like forgotten incantations from a lost civilization. This isn't your typical metal album – it's a meditative journey through dark ritualistic passages that showcase Sanders' incredible versatility beyond the brutal confines of his main band.

Each track unfolds like a sacred ceremony, with "Preliminary Purification Before The Calling Of Inanna" setting an ominous tone that carries throughout the entire experience. The album's centerpiece, "A Most Effective Excorcism Against Azagthoth And His Emissaries," demonstrates Sanders' ability to create genuinely unsettling atmospheres using traditional Middle Eastern instruments, synthesizers, and field recordings. The closing epic "Impalement And Cruxifiction Of The Last Remnants Of The Pre Human Serpent Volk" serves as a perfect culmination of this dark sonic ritual, leaving listeners in a trance-like state long after the final notes fade.

For fans of:
Dead Can Dance, Nile, Melechesh, Orphaned Land, Wardruna
