THE NEW FIVE TRACK MINI-ALBUM OF ALL-CONSUMING DARKNESS FROM THE ITALIAN BLACK METAL LEGENDS

INCLUDES A COVER OF MERCYFUL FATE'S 'NIGHTMARE BE THY NAME' & PRESENTED ON LIMITED PURPLE VINYL.

Cult band Mortuary Drape was formed in Italy in 1986 as a trio, including the longstanding/ sole-remaining member, band founder & visionary Wildness Perversion. Highly inspired by the dark arts & combining early influences from bands such as Mercyful Fate & Celtic Frost, Mortuary Drape developed their own unique style, defining themselves as black occult metal & releasing the demo ‘Necromancy’ in 1987 which spread their name throughout the underground; though it was not until 1992 that their first official release surfaced, with ‘Into the Drape’. This was followed by the debut full- length album, the classic ‘All the Witches Dance’ in 1994. Since then, Mortuary Drape has been revered for their influential & pioneering work in the firm establishment of global black metal which took hold in the early 90’s.

‘Wisdom – Vibration – Repent’ is the band’s new mini-album, spanning five tracks of occultism, philosophy & blasphemy which includes a storming cover of the Mercyful Fate track, ‘Nightmare Be Thy Name’. Mixing the best elements of classic metal & at times doomier influences into a venomous concoction of occultic misanthropy, the Italian legends deliver once more with their accomplished old school black metal delivery & signature melodic style.

The cover art for ‘Wisdom – Vibration – Repent’ appears courtesy of Misanthropic Art. This edition is presented on limited purple vinyl.
