Black vinyl. Limited 500 copies

The occult black metal act Mephorash, from Uppsala, Sweden, came roaring back with this Sfaira Tis Fotias EP. The vocals on “Sfaira Tis Fotias” were performed by Nebiros from Ofermod/Malign and by Mephorash vocalist Mashkelah M’ralaa. They add purifying fire to the song’s words of Luciferian praise, in sharp contrast to the angelic choir whose voices begin the song. And the instrumental music of the song, which is a blend of the majestic, the mystical, and the murderous, is a match for the passion of the vocals. The music is dramatic, dynamic, and potent, filling the air with the aura of a ritual, yet it is also scathing and scorching. When Nebiros intones “The End” at the 5:00 mark, the cadence of a processional becomes a slow, infernal rocker. But that turns out to be a prelude to a conflagration, a hellstorm of raking riffs and blasting drums, a storm that subsides briefly only to rage again with renewed power and an atmosphere of black, ominous threat. Overall one hell of an EP and a must have for fans of black metal
