Opera IX – The Gospel CD Death MetalOpera IX 'The Gospel' CD The new 2018 studio album by the legendary Opera IX is finally released! Opera IX certainly do not need presentation, they have been true initiators of Italian occult black metal since the early 90s. The Gospel is a concept album focused on the Italian myth of "Aradia And The Gospel Of The Witches", written by Charles Godfrey Leland and containing what he believed was the religious text of a group of pagan witches in Tuscany,
And as the ancient astrological beast enthroned in the sky closes his starry eye after an aeon
tempting-the-corners-of-chaos violence to slowly simmering

Ultra clear & royal blue cloudy effect heavy weight vinyl in gatefold sleeve with impressive metallic gold emboss effect
BLOOD AND EXTINCTION is primal barbarity that knows no surrender

This release bridges the gap between 'Apricicty' and their next (already written) full length album
"Exilasmos" in Ancient Hellenic Language means calming down the gods' wrath
that touch of distinctive SADOMATOR madness
is associated with Sabbats
