Darkend - De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis (Official Video)

Second single from the upcoming album “Viaticum“ to be released on June 14th 2024 via Time To Kill Records. Pre orders: Stream: Video directed by Paolo Viesti About the song: “De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis” is the Eye of Awareness observing itself, in a Time beyond time and in a Space beyond space. In its serene and ever-capturing Gaze, the living dead perpetually aiming to devour the Incarnated Miracle is banished from all planes of Existence and thus deprived of any of its illusory power. Entirely composed by Animae, the song develops through riffs and melodies that embody both the strength of that Fire incinerating the ego as well as the touching uproar of the River of Being finally free to flow without boundaries. Light from where there’s no Light. Living Water to the rotten flesh. About the album: “Viaticum“ flows out from the Sacred Spaciousness beyond duality, enshrouding its Silent Nature with the voice of ancient ceremonial chants, dungeon synth ambience and sulphur riffs engraved on arcane metal patterns. Combining shades that span from Mercyful Fate to Dissection (“An Incautious Exhumation Of What Lies Beneath Forgotten Ground”) and from Dead Can Dance (“In Your Multitude”) to Arvo Pärt (“In My Multitude”), the album enlightens an immersive and cathartic pathway towards the deepest hidden fields of who we really are. --------------------------------------- DARKEND is the band fronted by Animae (also guest vocalist for GAAHL’S WYRD on various European festivals & venues). After rather humble beginnings mostly inspired by orchestral extreme metal, DARKEND developed a quite peculiar artistic style blending black metal patterns, ritual ambience, dark classic metal riffs and solos in the vein of Mercyful Fate/Angel Witch and a ritualistic, hypnotic vibe explicitly created in order to generate a deep sonic & spiritual transcendence. --------------------------------------- Darkend: Time To Kill Records: Website: ​FB: ​IG: BC: TW: #blackmetalmusic #blackmetal #metal
