Today French black metal legion GLORIOR BELLI premiere the title track off their upcoming new full-length, The Great Southern Darkness, through Pitchfork. Check it out at THIS LOCATION.Don’t forget to check out the track Secret Ride To Rebellion at the band’s official landing page, where you will also find pre-order details, HERE.
The Great Southern Darkness offers up 11 tracks that magnify GLORIOR BELLI's finest qualities - debilitatingly fast, yet simultaneously dark and swampy with all the Americana/stoner/blues elements the band - and their fans - have come to embrace. Said Revolver in an advance review of the record: "The album combines vicious black-metal riffery with deep New Orleans stoner grooves to create a metal monolith that is equal parts northern blaze and southern trendkill."
Formed in the suburbs of Paris during the close of 2002, what began as a
noxious duo soon became an untamable beast, acting as a beacon for
everyone looking to free themselves of the influence of the Demiurge.
Lyrics and themes explored throughout the years reveal a sincere
inclination for rebel-ism and a sense of poetry. Today, GLORIOR BELLI
has garnered a stellar reputation in the extreme music community for
mixing desert rock textures with the brutal, ominous, doom-laden vibe
typical of black metal. But don’t bother trying to restrain that which
cannot be confined, for this is merely the greatest curse of the cosmic
scheme.The Great Southern Darkness is scheduled for a European release on September 23/26, 2011 via Metal Blade Records.
