Death / Black Metal

Second album from the international Death/Black Metal project, bearing the Latin title “Paritas” (Equality). “We’ve packed it with a colossal amount of references and hidden meanings; the album is literally permeated with them. There’s absolutely no room for chance or coincidence, every thought we’ve put in has been meticulously considered and surgically embedded in the music, the lyrics, the design, and even the numbers. All these things form the single concept of the entire album. As you might have noticed from the album title and cover art, in this work we’ve touched on the rather complex theme of equality. We’ve tried to reveal the darkest and most terrifying sides of human actions, to show how imperfect and irrational human nature still is…” - the musicians themselves note! And yes, the album undoubtedly makes a monumental impression. “The musical foundation lies in that very technical Death Metal, but through the overall stylistic narrative, threads of Black Metal, and even prog-metal run, expressed in unusual musical time signatures and sophisticated rhythmic patterns. The melodies are complex and unpredictable, and the technical solos fit seamlessly into the overall compositional concept. This is an undeniable triumph and the strongest statement of Russian (and Belarusian) extreme metal. It’s a deafening, merciless, and extremely dark album, which at the same time proves to be smarter and more thoughtful than it might seem at first glance.”
