Background information about 'Stronghold Of The Inviolables / Thelema Rising'

German black metal outfit Secrets Of The Moon delivers a crushing blow with "Stronghold Of The Inviolables", an album that showcases their evolution from raw atmospheric black metal to a more sophisticated, yet equally devastating sound. This release captures the band at a pivotal moment, blending occult themes with razor-sharp musicianship that cuts through the darkness like a ceremonial blade. The seven tracks of the main album weave together intricate guitar work, thunderous drumming, and vocals that range from haunting whispers to bone-chilling screams, creating an atmosphere that's both mystical and menacing.

The inclusion of the "Thelema Rising" session as bonus material makes this release even more essential for devotees of the genre. These additional five tracks showcase the band's experimental side while maintaining their core black metal identity, featuring tracks like "The Devils Tempest" and "Condemnation (Of The Inferiority)" that demonstrate their ability to craft both epic compositions and more intimate, yet equally powerful pieces. The production strikes that perfect balance between clarity and rawness that allows every instrument to breathe while preserving the album's dark, ritualistic atmosphere.

For fans of: Emperor, Mayhem, Satyricon, Enslaved and Dark Funeral
