GLORIOR BELLI
"Said Lucifer In Twilight"
from Manifesting The Raging Beast (Southern Lord)
The French takeover of black metal continues apace.

Guitarist/vocalist/ mastermind Infestvvs leans toward verbosity, though this track is the only one on the album that actually seems like a monologue with a backing band, much in the way that Deathspell Omega’s Kenôse did.
