Arkhon Infaustus " Passing the Nekromanteion " CD

Passing the Nekromanteion is a devastating release from Arkhon Infaustus, one of the most notorious and uncompromising bands to emerge from the French black metal underground. Formed in 1997 by D. Deviant (vocals, guitar) and 666 Torturer (bass, vocals), both formerly of Osculum Infame, the band quickly established a reputation for creating some of the most extreme and controversial black metal of their era. The name Arkhon Infaustus combines the Greek word "Arkhon," meaning prince or ruler, with the Latin word "Infaustus," meaning evil, sinister, or ill-fated, reflecting the band's dark and blasphemous artistic vision.

On Passing the Nekromanteion, Arkhon Infaustus delivers a relentless assault of savage black metal infused with death metal intensity, occult themes, and an atmosphere of ritualistic darkness. The album showcases the band's signature blend of violent riffing, crushing percussion, and sinister compositions that helped define the extreme French black metal movement. Throughout the release, listeners are drawn into a world of anti-religious ideology, infernal mysticism, and total sonic destruction.

The striking artwork perfectly complements the music within, presenting an unsettling and symbolic visual landscape that reflects the band's fascination with occultism, blasphemy, and forbidden spiritual themes. Combined with the album's crushing sound and dark conceptual framework, Passing the Nekromanteion stands as one of the essential recordings in the Arkhon Infaustus catalog.

A must-have for fans of French black metal, occult black metal, war metal, death-infused black metal, and extreme underground music. Recommended for listeners of Deathspell Omega, Antaeus, Aosoth, Blacklodge, Temple of Baal, and other pillars of the French black metal scene.
