Rising by Corpus Christii review

RISING
Corpus Christii
Moribund Records

Updated: 05/16/08

After commencing the disc with an angelic chorale prologue, the gates of hell burst wide open with the grim black metal expulsions of Corpus Christii. The mastermind behind is the assault is Nocturnus Horrendus, and his masterwork Rising will devastate the senses of all who like their Black Metal primitive and inhumanly bleak. This Portuguese cult has been deep within the underground for years and now thanks to Moribund Records, the world metal scene will bear witness to the sonic terrorism Corpus Christii spew forth.

Stabbed sends the aforementioned choir into an infernal abyss, teeming with a fury that is guaranteed to annihilate. The death grip of Corpus Christii never lets up, with tracks such as The Wanderer, Torrents Of Sorrow, and Evasive Contempt pulsating through the listener’s state of (un)well being. One of the most imaginative bands in the otherwise overcrowded caliginous parade of one man Black Metal bands, it will be exciting to see what dark compositions Nocturnus Horrendus bestows upon an unsuspecting world in the future. Rising is an unforgettable journey through darkness and misery fans of the genre will want to unleash for all eternity. (Kenneth Morton)
