As Italian black metal act DARKEND<\/strong> prepares for the June 14th<\/strong> arrival of their “Viaticum” <\/strong>full-length through Time To Kill Records<\/strong>, today, a video for \u201cDe Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis\u201d<\/strong> has been unveiled. Watch it HERE<\/a><\/strong>.

\u201c\u2018De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis\u2019 is the Eye of Awareness observing itself, in a Time beyond time and in a Space beyond space. In its serene and ever-capturing Gaze, the living dead perpetually aiming to devour the Incarnated Miracle is banished from all planes of Existence and thus deprived of any of its illusory power.
Entirely composed by Animae, the song develops through riffs and melodies that embody both the strength of that Fire incinerating the ego as well as the touching uproar of the River of Being finally free to flow without boundaries.
Light from where there\u2019s no Light. Living Water to the rotten flesh\u201d.

<\/em>“Viaticum”<\/strong> flows out from the Sacred Spaciousness beyond duality, enshrouding its Silent Nature with the voice of ancient ceremonial chants, dungeon synth ambience and sulphur riffs engraved on arcane metal patterns. Combining shades that span from Mercyful Fate to Dissection (\u201cAn Incautious Exhumation Of What Lies Beneath Forgotten Ground\u201d) and from Dead Can Dance (\u201cIn Your Multitude\u201d) to Arvo P\u00e4rt (\u201cIn My Multitude\u201d), the album enlightens an immersive and cathartic pathway towards the deepest hidden fields of who we really are.

<\/strong>
<\/strong>DARKEND<\/strong> is the band fronted by Animae<\/strong> (also guest vocalist for GAAHL\u2019S WYRD on various European festivals & venues).

After rather humble beginnings mostly inspired by orchestral extreme metal, DARKEND<\/strong> developed a quite peculiar artistic style blending black metal patterns, ritual ambience, dark classic metal riffs and solos in the vein of Mercyful Fate\/Angel Witch and a ritualistic, hypnotic vibe explicitly created in order to generate a deep sonic & spiritual transcendence.

Having toured Europe thrice alongside CRADLE OF FILTH, ROTTING CHRIST, SAMAEL, MELECHESH & KEEP OF KALESSIN, the band had the privilege to collaborate with some of the most renowned artists of the scene: while Attila Csihar (MAYHEM), Niklas Kvarforth (SHINING) & Sakis Tolis (ROTTING CHRIST) offered their voices for \u201cThe Canticle Of Shadows\u201d (2016, Non Serviam Records), the profound friendship between Gaahl & Animae bloomed a breathtaking collaboration with WARDRUNA\u2019s Lindy-Fay Hella immortalized on the album \u201cSpiritual Resonance\u201d (2019, Dark Essence Records).

The band displays some intense live rituals under their belt (culminated with an exhibition at the iconic Norwegian MIDGARDSBLOT FEST 2022 alongside WARDRUNA, HELIUNG & ROTTING CHRIST), an experience not to be missed.

Line-up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
