Ars Magna Umbrae - Apotheosis



Here's a suitably evil one to kick off a Sunday - Ars Magna Umbrae are back after two years with Apotheosis. Their frightening brand of avant garde black metal is intimidating, powerful and guaranteed to go for the throat. The creepy soundscapes they conjure up are varied and ever shifting. It's hard not to be entranced with the unique ways that the music of Ars Magna Umbrae twists and turns, guiding you ever deeper into their distinct brand of sonic madness. The breadth of their sound is intimidating with tormented ministrations dragging us into the depths of hell.

Really what makes this record special though is the overall quality of the production. There are a lot of layers here and the way the guitars interlock on a track like 'Of Divine Divergence' is really crucial. Counterbalance this with some truly excellent vocal performances and you've got yourself a record that is almost intimidating in its sense of raw power and dirty looks. The dreamlike quality some of the melodies provide only serve to make this an ever more fascinating offering. Really - the entire record comes together in a surprisingly and wonderfully intricate way that ensures that Apotheosis maintains a place in any black metal nerds regular rotation.

Apotheosis is a thrilling record. It's extremely dense and demanding though. Those of us who are not already deep into the lore of a label like I, Voidhanger are going o have ahrd time with this one. That being said - for the scattered few for whom this type of avant garde and deeply arranged black metal is a way of life then it is going to be hard to turn off the mighty arms of madness that Ars Magna Umbrae evoke and the tormented unrealities that serve to make this a stunning record that will have devout fans coming back again and again.

I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. i read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of HERPES, HIV, diabetics etc by Dr Edes herbal medicine, so i decided to contact the doctor because i know nature has the power to heal anything.

  4. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.

  5. Hello!
    My name is Elizabeth, Four years ago, i tested herpes Virus (HSV-2) positive and i was told that there is no cure that i will live with it till i die, The shock of knowing that the Virus has no cure was something that scared me most. I was never feeling good because each time i intend to be happy, the thought that there is no cure will come into my mind and i will just be sad once more. I lose weight unknowingly to me and it was as if i was going to die, everyday is always ful of fear. After four years as i was online, i came accross a testimony about how Doctor Ojeabulu has done so many things and cure so many people then i showed my Doctor that there is a herbal cure for the Virus and the Doctor said there is nothing as such. I decided to give it a try because my present condition was nothing to write about then i write to the email i saw online and he responded and told me all that i need to know. I told my friend and she told me never to believe anything i saw online, i believe her because i was scammed earlier. But i wanted to change my condition then i proceed with the purchase of Doctor Ojeabulu medicine. After some days that i purchased the medicine then i started observing some changes in my health and i went to the hospital and i tested negative. Doctor has done so many other great things that you and i have seen online, a man complained that his business is in stagnat position and doctor Ojeabulu help him to be successful, a woman lose her husband to another lady after one month of marriage and Doctor Ojeabulu help her also to balance her marriage. Doctor Ojeabulu has so many solutions to any problem that you might be facing that seems to be very difficult to you now. Give it a try and you will see great change in your life.
    HE IS A SPIRITUALIST, HE HAS ANSWER TO ALMOST ALL YOUR PROBLEMS, CONTACT HIM TODAY AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE.
