HAERESIARCHS OF DIS (USA)

'Denuntiatus Cihis'

MORIBUND RECORDS

Release Date : 12/10/2010

Frankly, a one-man band doesn't really impressed us, though we do acknowledge that a few did stand out however. HEARESIARCHS OF DIS doesn't really moved us either at first. Then again, we trust that MORIBUND RECORDS is one of those long dedicated extreme label that will never wimped out.

Musicwise, it's basically Pagan Black Metal allright, primitive and fast ("Median Existere" & "Ad Baculum" are outstanding !) with blackish screaming. There are also some symphonic background vocal that sounded more like those Viking bands, string showcase ("The Respite"), touches of ambient ("Nine Days They Fell"), experimental ("Intent Concupicense") etc. Avant Garde perhaps ? Norwegian Black Metal with elements of FLUERTY & ISENGARD ? Better said, it's a kind of 'Yin' and 'Yang' in Black Metal, an opposite contrast yet they supplement each other sufficely and put everything into balance - equilibrium. There are 13 tracks that will keep your ear intact to the music till end.

The most suprising is the track "Bemoan The Fallen". What the fuck ?! Accoustic pagan/folk ?! Awesome ! (we thought it was Jack Black & Kyle Gass -  TENACIOUS D). We find those instrumental tracks however are taking too much spaces in the album - perhaps it might represent something important to CERNUNNOS, but we don't think listeners would care. The drumming sounded mechanical by the way (drum machine ?).

Yet, the album is extraordinary interesting for listeners to check out.
