MASCHARAT S/T CD 2017

The Italian black metal underground has always had a particular relationship with history, and Mascharat lean into it hard. Where most atmospheric black metal reaches for frozen forests and cosmic void, these Milan occultists reach for the Renaissance, and the result is genuinely unsettling in the best possible way.

Released in 2017 and limited to 500 copies, this self-titled full-length sits in that rare zone where raw black metal production and genuine compositional ambition don't cancel each other out. Think NOCTURNES MIST's atmospheric density crossed with the historical weight of early Italian dark metal, filtered through something that sounds like it was recorded in a palazzo no one has entered since 1603. For fans of the Australian black metal scene who've worn out their PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS and NAZXUL records, this is a worthy addition from the other side of the world.

Format: CD. Full-length album. Limited edition, 500 copies pressed. Origin: Italy.

Fans of: NOCTURNES MIST, PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS, KAFIRUN, NAZXUL.
