On March 8th internationally, Aural Music is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of France’s Ecclesia, Ecclesia Militans.
Ecclesia play dark & epic HEAVY METAL heavily influenced by traditional doom. Since their formation as a trio in 2016, this now-fully-formed army of French Inquisitors released the demo Witchfinding Metal of Doom in 2017 and the Aural Music-released debut album De Ecclesiæ Universalis in 2020 for all the sinners around the globe.
Armed with purifying fire, blessed swords, and Holy Rage, Ecclesia‘s lyrical themes deal with the 12th Century dark medieval age of Holy Inquisition. On Ecclesia Militans, one will find a perfect syncretism between traditional heavy metal and epic doom, recalling the likes of Candlemass, the UK’s Solstice, and especially Tony Martin-era Black Sabbath. Ecclesia‘s proselytism will convert fans of those as well as anyone who can feel the righteous fervor of medieval brimstone – now confess your sins!
