Devilish Impressions! The new album reveals both, primordial and modern sound
of the band, combining 2 new powerful tracks with their first recorded and never
published before material from "Eritis

Behemoth, Ancient or even Limbonic Art, Emperor, Burzum, Mayhem, Arcturus in
their "Eritis sicvt Devs" period!

your destiny and adventure yourself to be your own God!

The Band and new album:
Devilish Impressions are considered by many as one of Poland’s leading and most
innovative modern extreme metal acts. The band started their dark path in
the year 2000 as a three-piece, featuring the only
actual remaining member, the bands singer / guitarist and mains
lyric writer Quazarre.
You can read more about the bands origins and experiences across the first pages of
this album booklet!
Since the primordial times of experimental black metal the band has been
developing their own sound release after release, this has allowed the band to reach
a respectful status on today's day's competitive Polish extreme metal scene.
Experimental and modern, the bands black death metal is an artistic expression
of pure genius and years on this extreme musical field! Devilish Impressions have forged
their careers strongest step forwards with the release of the acclaimed "Simulacra"
masterpiece in 2012, by then, the band sound has reached elite levels of metal
extremity and dynamism! Something the band decided to develop even more on the
two new tracks of "ADVENTVS ..." piece.
Keeping the use of synthesisers to the minimum, introducing 7 string guitars and
using no drum triggers at all, the band has developed their melodic
dark sound and created an heart-pounding black force that shall piece your ears
in a dark devilish way! A modern extreme metal sound that shall please adepts of
bands such as
Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir, Arkhon Infaustus,
Behemoth, Ancient, just to mention few!
The bright incursion of some oriental folk instruments is
just another great addition to the bands top-quality sound that has been achieved by the band
and the famous Arkadiusz "Malta" Malezewski (Behemoth, Decapitated,
Hate, etc.) this time the band has used several recording studios to produce
the new songs, including the famous Hertz Studio (drums, Wieslawski
Bros), Icaros Studio (guitars), Flumen Studio (additional
synth / fx) and Sound Division Studio (vocals; guitars’ re-amping).
“ADVENTVS -
Eritis sicvt Devs”
reveals the bands new and old sound. While the new is way more technical and blends wisely with some death metal elements,
in the other hand the
primordial Devilish Impressions sound is quite experimental and
way more atmospheric, a sound deeply influenced by old-Norwegian black
metal. The influence and homage to bands like
Limbonic Art, Emperor, Burzum, Mayhem, Arcturus, Abigor
can easily come into the listeners mind while listening to the bands early endeavours!
Devilish Impressions have kept their fans captive by their own sound since their early
foundations, much due to the fact that they always had the genius to overcome
themselves and never copy these or that band, the forging of their own identity allowed
the band to grow stronger and reach each day new horizons!
The band-members:
Quazarre ( check also Asgaard, Crionics) is without a doubt the genius mind behind Devilish
Impressions main musical art, creating impressive and cult lyricism,
outstanding clean as well as destructive vociferated vocals, he is also
responsible for the bands impressive guitar leads and structures! This album
shows how his vocals development since the bands early beginnings till nowadays,
outstanding to say the least! Icanraz ( Abused Majesty, ex-Christ
Agony, ex-Hermh,etc.) has contributed allot to the
current band status with his dynamic and top-skilled drum performance, proving
that he is among the best Polish drummers of today's days! Vraath
backing vocals
and bass have also brought the band a
solid pounding structure!
Back into the "Eritis sicvt Devs"
times, Starash
(guitars) and Turqouissa (synth) have surely left a positive mark on the band! Turqouissa
synthesisers provided
a perfectly fitting constant dark atmosphere, embracing the music in perfect harmony, something that suited the bands past intentions
but isn't properly the best fit on today's more aggressive extreme metal sound, same
happened to the programmed drums by the producer Paweł "Wolek" Wolczyk used back then,
these ones have perfectly been substituted
by Icanraz impressive work!
The album songs:
As some use to say, there are two sides to every story, and this
more than 60 minutes long album is no
different. Two different expressions of Devilish Impressions art can be
experienced, while
the new tracks "Adventvs Regis"
and "Meteoron" reveal a maturely modern extreme metal sound
that clearly detach on this album with their own strong
and solid structure, in the other hand the 3 tracks from the
"Eritis sicvt Devs”
(Moon, Var
and
Dies Irae) reveal a young and
experimental sound with tons of black metal influences, a band bright and
adventurous enough to create a solid atmospheric darkness, forging by then, the
strong pillars of what was to become one of the best bands in the Polish
black death metal genre!
Epilogue:
Without a doubt
“ADVENTVS -
Eritis sicvt Devs”
is a temple of knowledge, founded in a solid unbreakable Polish grounds, a must
have release for all Devilish Impressions fans as for adepts of modern
extreme metal. This album combines some of the best elements of
experimental/atmospheric black metal, ignited by a strong and versatile black
death metal hammer, an expression and identity of the bands present times.
A piece of musical art wrapped up in a lacquer coating and UV curing digipack
with 20-pages booklet adorned by the outstanding art by Black Moon Design
(cover + booklet art).
“ADVENTVS -
Eritis sicvt Devs”
album is a timeless journey across the bands ever-growing force of unleashed
fury and atmospheric might, unveiling an enchanting dark splendour upon the
listeners ears! In fact a mind-liberating piece of art in a phantasmagorical
dark musical form.
The true light of wisdom has arrived, unleash yourself from the
chains around you... raise your head upon the new form of divinity and look upon
yourself as the new leader... the new God with the will that shall lead life into immortal
freedom!
