After their much-acclaimed debut album – The Desolate One – Hammerfilosofi returns with a fiery assault on the senses, in the shape of an EP entitled SOLUS (Igne Natura Renovator Integra); four psalms of relentless, multi-layered, and hellish madness.
“The EP is an inward journey of spiritual violence and cathartic soul-searching”, comments NKTFR, and adds: “Both musically and lyrically, it picks up from where The Desolate One left off and continues in a bold leap into the dark unknown”.
Behind the music is as per usual the Norwegian-Italian duo – NKTFR and FCCM. Lyrics for the EP were penned by long-time comrade of the band, Rune Vedaa from the legendary Norwegian Black Metal band Forgotten Woods.
“The EP is both a continuation of the debut and an ominous forewarning of what is to come. We continue our relentless march, spreading our sulfurous gospel”, concludes FCCM.
“We want to take Black Metal back to its primeval and genuine meaning and purpose. To pick up the torch, and carry on the march that was begun centuries ago. We have no intention of reinventing the wheel, but to create and evolve what we consider to be Black Metal”.
ATMF will release SOLUS (Igne Natura Renovator Integra) on September 13.
