28 years ago, this gem was released by, in my opinion, one of the best composer the extreme metal scene had the honour to hear.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞" for most of you may not be the best album, but for me is the apex reached.
Surely Not the Death Metal album we expect, but a mix of melody, technique, and poetical lyrics.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - 𝟑𝟏.𝟎𝟖.𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟖"

The Nocturnes of Iswylm - STORMKEEP (US)

ENG / ITA

On June 12, 2026, the second full-length album by a band that has generated a lot of buzz in recent years was released.
As early as their debut EP "Galdrum" (2020), the American band Stormkeep had already proven their songwriting prowess.
The following year, with "Tales of Othertime," I personally was left completely stunned by the epicness and sheer power of this lineup.
Today, however, we are talking about “The Nocturnes of Iswylm.” Forget the medieval melodies heard in the past; these have made way for a Black Metal style that alternates between highly symphonic parts and more technical, violent sections.
But let us begin the listening experience.

“The Taste of Immortal Blood” opens the dance with a gloomy, roughly two-minute string intro, followed by the guitars, which launch us into the first sonic assault. The Black Metal vein begins to emerge even though the melodic component continues to accompany us. The chorus, which is spectacularly epic, harks back to what we heard in their previous works, featuring double-bass gallops and choirs bordering on Power Metal. This is a decidedly successful start, even though the song itself is very peculiar due to the numerous stylistic shifts across its 7 minutes, including two completely different guitar solos.
Moving forward.

“The Black Dragons of Iswylm” feels significantly more direct. On one hand, we find power and speed in full Swedish style; on the other hand, keyboards and symphonic arrangements that personally reminded me a lot of Dimmu Borgir during their “Enthrone Darkness Triumphant” era.

“Saccharine Subjugation” delivers just over 6 minutes of blast beats and solos. One could summarize the track this way, but it would be an understatement. The presence of the keyboards proves to be fundamental. In fact, I believe that without the immense compositional work behind the synths, a track like this would have completely lost its soul. However, it is also necessary to mention their great ability to fit three solos into tracks like this, ranging from fast-paced virtuosity to almost psychedelic riffs.

Reaching the midpoint of this work, we find
“Imperious Sanguine Erotici,” featuring sounds that are as unexpected as they are pleasant. We find a major slowdown in tempo, which perfectly envelops Otheyn Vermithrax’s clean vocals. Overall, I consider this an essential track to break up the general pacing and to give the album a decidedly evocative tone, yet one that remains devoted to darkness.

Just a few steps from the end of this dark journey, we have “Echoes in the Vasts of Sequestration.” Were it not for the screaming vocals, I would struggle to define it as a Black Metal track, thanks once again to a multiplicity of interwoven riffs that range from Melodic Death Metal to Symphonic/Power Metal. Personally, I find it to be an extremely effective track.

In the penultimate spot, we find “Carnal Tapestries of Nailtorn Flesh.” A purely Thrash Metal style of riffing accompanies us through much of the opening section. Despite this, the whole experience feels highly dark and ritualistic. As perfectly described by the lyrics, it drags us into the psychological abyss of the struggle between good and evil.

The final act of our descent into oblivion is titled “Ballad of a Fallen Star.” The title is quite misleading, given that there is relatively little of a ballad here. However, it is absolutely my favorite track on the album, thanks mostly to the beautiful clean vocals that accompany us throughout almost the entire song. The final 3 minutes of this piece create an atmosphere that encapsulates all the emotions we experienced during these 44 minutes: epicness, melancholy, pain, and rage.

In conclusion, I consider this album to be an undoubtedly peculiar record that differs from our expectations—so much so that on a first listen, it did not excite me at all. However, by dedicating the right amount of time to it and letting myself be swept away by the music, I realized I was deeply mistaken. I am sure it won't appeal to everyone, as it is filled with elements that point almost exclusively to Symphonic Black Metal. Nevertheless, it absolutely deserves a thorough, deep listen rather than a superficial one.
The lyrical side was also crafted to perfection, with introspective texts bordering on poetry. The synergy between the guitars of Otheyn Vermithrax and Apokteino is devastating throughout the entire duration of the work. It is impossible not to mention the great bass work by Nebula Husk; if you listen to the album correctly, you will realize just how fundamental it was. Lastly, the entire symphonic performance by Lord Dahthar prevailed over everything throughout the listen, providing incredible melodies and harmonies.
“The Nocturnes of Iswylm” was produced by Vesperian and is available on CD, 12” LP, and cassette.

ITA

Il 12 Giugno 2026 è uscito il secondo Full-Length di una band, che negli scorsi anni ha fatto molto parlare di sé.

Già dall’Ep di esordio “Galdrum” (2020), gli Americani Stormkeep avevano dato prova della loro abilità compositiva.

L’anno successivo, con “Tales of Othertime”, personalmente, ero rimasto esterrefatto dall’epicità e dalla potenza di questa formazione.

Oggi però, parliamo di “The Nocturnes of Iswylm”;
Dimenticate le melodie medievaleggianti viste in precedenza, per lasciare spazio ad un Black Metal che alterna parti estremamente Symphonic ad altre più tecniche e violente.

Ma iniziamo l’ascolto.

“The Taste of Immortal Blood” apre le danze con un tetro intro di circa 2 minuti di strings, seguite dalle chitarre, che ci lancia verso il primo assalto sonoro;
La vena Black Metal inizia ad emergere nonostante la componente melodica continui ad accompagnarci.
Il ritornello, di un epicità clamorosa, ci riporta a quanto ascoltato nei lavori precedenti, con cavalcate di doppio pedale e cori, al limite del Power Metal.
Un inizio decisamente promosso, nonostante il brano in sé, sia molto particolare, per i numerosi cambi di stile dei suoi 7 minuti, tra cui 2 assoli, completamente differenti tra loro.

Ma proseguiamo.

“The Black Dragons of Iswylm” risulta nettamente più diretta; da un lato troviamo potenza e velocità in pieno stile Svedese, dall’altro, tastiere e sinfonie che a me personalmente hanno ricordato molto i Dimmu Borgir di “Enthrone Darkness Triumphant”.

“Saccharine Subjigation”, poco più di 6 minuti di Blast Beat e assoli. Si potrebbe riassumere così questo brano, ma sarebbe estremamente riduttivo. Le presenza delle tastiere si rivela fondamentale, ritengo infatti, che probabilmente, senza l’immenso lavoro compositivo dietro i synth, una traccia come questa avrebbe completamente perso la propria anima.
È necessario però menzionare anche la grande capacità di incastrare 3 assoli in brani come questo, dai virtuosismi più veloci, a riff quasi psichedelici.

Arrivati a metà di questo lavoro abbiamo “Imperious Sanguine Erotici”, dalle sonorità tanto inaspettate quanto piacevoli.
Troviamo infatti un grande rallentamento nei tempi, che avvolgono perfettamente la voce clean di Otheyn Vermithrax.
Nel complesso, una traccia secondo me fondamentale, per spezzare il ritmo generale e per donare all’album un tono decisamente evocativo, ma sempre devoto all’oscurità.

A pochi passi dalla fine di questo cammino oscuro abbiamo “Echoes in the Vasts of Sequestration”;
Se non fosse per le voci in stream, faticherei a definirlo un brano Black Metal, grazie ancora una volta ad una molteplicità di riff intrecciati che spaziano dal Melodic Death Metal al Symphonic/Power Metal.
Personalmente lo reputo un pezzo estremamente efficace.

Al penultimo posto troviamo “Carnal Tapestries of Nailtorn Flesh”
Un riffing puramente Trash Metal ci accompagna per buona parte iniziale del brano.
Nonostante ciò, il tutto risulta estremamente oscuro e ritualistico e come descritto perfettamente dal testo, ci porta in nell’abisso psicologico della lotta tra il bene ed il male.

L’ultimo atto della nostra discesa nell’oblio è intitolato “Ballad of a Fallen Star”;
Il titolo è piuttosto ingannevole, dato che di ballad c’è relativamente poco, tuttavia è il brano che in assoluto ho preferito dell’album, complici soprattutto le bellissime voci clean che ci accompagnano per quasi tutto il brano.
Gli ultimi 3 minuti di quest’opera creano un atmosfera che racchiude tutte le emozioni che abbiamo provato in questi 44 minuti. Epicità, malinconia, dolore, rabbia.

Concludendo reputo quest’album un disco indubbiamente particolare e diverso dalle aspettative che avevamo, tanto è vero che ad un primo ascolto non mi aveva entusiasmato affatto.
Dedicandogli però il giusto tempo e lasciandomi travolgere dalla musica, mi sono reso conto di essermi sbagliato enormemente.
Sono sicuro che non a tutti piacerà, essendo pieno di elementi che riconducono quasi esclusivamente al Symphonic Black Metal, tuttavia merita assolutamente un ascolto approfondito e non approssimativo.
Anche la parte delle Liriche è stata curata alla perfezione, con testi introspettivi ai limiti della poesia.
La sinergia delle chitarre di Otheyn Vermithrax e Apokteino è devastante in tutta la durata dell’opera.
Impossibile non menzionare il grande lavoro di basso di Nebula Husk; se ascoltate correttamente l’album vi accorgerete di quanto fondamentale sia stato.
Infine, tutta la parte sinfonica di Lord Dahthar, che ha prevalso su tutto, in tutta l’ascolto, con melodie ed armonie incredibili.

“The Nocturnes of Iswylm” è stato prodotto da Vesperian, in Cd, Lp12” e Cassetta.

Indesiderium USBM ( U.S.A.)

Indesiderium: “When You Gaze Long into the Abyss, the Abyss Also Gazes into You.”

Few contemporary black metal projects embody philosophical introspection with the same sincerity as Indesiderium, the American one-man entity conceived by the visionary mind of Atrum Lorde (vocals and guitars).
I have followed this project since its inception, witnessing the evolution of an artistic vision that has consistently transcended the conventional boundaries of extreme metal.

The very name Indesiderium evokes the notion of that which is fundamentally unwanted a condition imposed upon human existence irrespective of personal desire or intention.
It symbolizes the unavoidable suffering that accompanies every individual throughout life, an existential burden that cannot be escaped but only confronted.

Within Indesiderium, black metal is never employed as a mere musical language. Rather, it becomes a metaphysical bridge through which questions concerning existence, identity, mortality, and spiritual catharsis are explored.
Atrum Lorde's artistic expression does not emerge from hatred for its own sake, nor from nihilistic provocation. Instead, it originates from profound introspection: the testimony of a soul willing to contemplate the abyss without averting its gaze.

The darkness conveyed by Indesiderium is therefore not theatrical, nor merely aesthetic. It is existential. Every composition stands at the intersection of the ferocity inherent to black metal and an almost meditative sense of contemplation, where sweeping melodies and carefully constructed harmonies become reflections of an inner pilgrimage through despair, memory, transcendence, and self-awareness.

This philosophical trajectory unfolds across three essential works:
Wanderer of the Abyssal Plains (2015), Of Twilight and Evenfall... (2018), and The Nocturnal Séance of Lucifer (2024).

These albums portray the abyss not as an external place, but as an interior landscape a psychological realm in which suffering, transformation, and spiritual evolution coexist.
The abyss is not an enemy to overcome; it is a mirror through which the individual discovers the fragmented architecture of the self.

From a philosophical standpoint, Indesiderium embraces a form of existential nihilism without succumbing to sterile pessimism.
The absence of objective certainty does not culminate in absolute emptiness; rather, it creates the possibility of redefining meaning through personal confrontation with existence itself.
This perspective recalls thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, who perceived the collapse of inherited values not as an end, but as the necessary precondition for spiritual rebirth. Likewise, silence and solitude cease to represent defeat, becoming instead indispensable instruments of self-knowledge.

Musically, Indesiderium draws deeply from the Scandinavian black metal tradition not through imitation, but through genuine artistic continuity. The influence of legendary bands such as Dissection, Dawn, and Setherial is unmistakable, yet these inspirations are transformed into something unmistakably personal.
Rather than recreating a bygone era, Atrum Nolan carries its torch forward while forging an individual path rooted in authenticity.

Each album is meticulously constructed through expansive guitar work, evocative melodic architecture, and compositions that unfold with remarkable patience.
Moments of suspended "serenity" gradually dissolve into violent eruptions of intensity, establishing a dynamic equilibrium in which emotional narrative consistently prevails over mere aggression.
The result is music that breathes organically, inviting contemplation as much as catharsis.

Consequently, Indesiderium's works resist fragmentation into isolated songs.
They are conceived as unified psychological journeys whose chapters continuously converse with one another through recurring themes of memory, mortality, existential negation, and transcendence.
Such albums demand attentive listening, rewarding patience with an emotional and intellectual immersion that remains increasingly rare within contemporary extreme music.

Ultimately, Indesiderium demonstrates that black metal possesses the capacity to transcend its own stereotypes. It can become a profound philosophical language through which humanity confronts its deepest anxieties and most enduring questions. Here, darkness is never glorified for its own sake; it becomes the necessary medium through which consciousness examines itself.

Perhaps this is precisely the essence of Indesiderium: a reminder that the most profound abyss is never the one surrounding us, but the one residing within. To descend into it is not merely an act of despair it is an act of courage, for only those willing to face their own darkness may ultimately discover the possibility of genuine transcendence.

Onielar

I dedicate this personal reflection to Onielar.

An artist whose unwavering devotion possesses the rare power to guide our souls, like Charon, across a dark passage where the unconscious and the abyss cease to be abstractions and become tangible realities.

Within the realm of black metal, there are artists who merely perform a role, and there are those who embody a vision. Onielar, vocalist and guitarist of Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, unquestionably belongs to the latter. Her very being manifests itself as a living ritual: an officiant who has dissolved the boundaries between life and art, transforming both into a liturgy devoted to darkness.

What has always fascinated me, beyond the band's uncompromising musical integrity, is Onielar's voice.
It does not aspire to technical perfection but to expressive truth.
It emerges as something almost inhuman, pouring from her throat like an open wound, suspended between a scream, a lament, and an invocation.
Therein lies its singularity: she does not merely portray suffering; she grants it a voice.

Today, black metal finds itself increasingly absorbed into the machinery of spectacle, a symptom of an age in which identity has too often been reduced to little more than a dictionary definition.

Against this backdrop, Onielar remains a guardian of the philosophy of the night that silent, initiatory realm where darkness becomes a path toward self-confrontation rather than mere negation.

As Carl Gustav Jung observed, it is through the encounter with the Shadow that the individual reclaims the forgotten and repressed dimensions of the psyche.
Within the ideological framework of Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, this process assumes a radical expression: evil ceases to function as a purely moral category and instead becomes a symbol of freedom, knowledge, and inner transformation. In this sense, Onielar embodies an archetypal function.

Indeed, within Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, the occult is never reduced to aesthetics; it is approached as a disciplined spiritual practice.
The lyrics, iconography, and musical language form a coherent symbolic universe in which Satanism, death, and darkness transcend literal interpretation to become metaphysical principles.
Likewise, the band's commitment to preserving a raw, unpolished sound reflects a deliberate pursuit of ritual authenticity rather than technical refinement.
To immerse oneself in their discography or to witness one of their live performances is to enter sonic landscapes where ordinary time dissolves and consciousness is drawn toward the threshold of another reality.

In 2021, Onielar publicly revealed that she had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, enduring both a mastectomy and chemotherapy.
Following a long and arduous struggle, she returned to the stage, transforming an intensely human ordeal into yet another chapter of her artistic journey. Her experience offers a profound lesson: fear belongs only to the realm of the mind, whereas genuine strength arises through self-knowledge, and resilience reveals its truest nature in the very heart of the storm.

I believe that Onielar's significance resides in her ability to forge an artistic language that is profoundly personal, immediately recognizable, and unwaveringly coherent.
Her stage presence and compositional vision demonstrate that black metal, in its most authentic expression, is far more than a musical genre: it is a liminal experience, a threshold where art, philosophy, and spirituality converge.

It is precisely at that threshold where ritual merges with sound that music transcends itself and becomes metaphysics.

Along this path, Onielar continues to walk, not merely as a singer, but as the guardian of a black flame that endures through time, burning with undiminished intensity.

La Condena!

Una vez más, la artista Sonia nos presenta un dibujo que conecta emoción e intensidad.

En el centro del dibujo se encuentra una figura alada, semejante a un ángel, con un distintivo halo rojo.
Su apariencia, nada tranquilizadora, revela la intriga: el rostro demacrado, los tonos sombríos y las grandes alas oscuras evocan a un mensajero de sufrimiento más que de consuelo.

Sonia Sepulchral añade otra figura, esta vez humana.
Un esqueleto viviente que transmite rendición, angustia y agotamiento, arrodillado sobre una pila de cráneos.

Una representación que invoca la muerte como la meta capaz de poner fin a todo sufrimiento vital, mientras que el gesto "compasivo" del ángel parece otorgar esta gracia o quizás una condena.

El uso del color (el punto focal de Sonia) es interesante.
Una alternancia que encuentra armonía a través de colores como grises, negros y el rojo del halo.
Para quienes no lo sepan, en la cultura religiosa cristiana, el color rojo es sinónimo de sacrificio, martirio y vida espiritual.

En conclusión, puedo decir que este dibujo se presta a una lectura existencial.
No solo la muerte como punto de partida, sino también la fragilidad de la condición humana. Este dibujo invita, por lo tanto, a reflexionar sobre la relación entre sufrimiento, muerte y trascendencia, dejando abierta la interpretación del significado último de la figura angelical.

Ecuador Subterráneo II: el rito subterráneo del extremo.

Gracias a la pasión visceral de Andres Ledesma (Coleccion Extrema) y Wilson Garcia (American Metal Distro), ha resucitado este tótem de culto del Black Metal ecuatoriano, editado originalmente en CD en 1998.

Entremos en los detalles de esta obra...

Hay álbumes que simplemente reúnen canciones, y otros que parecen custodiar un ritual. Ecuador Subterráneo II pertenece, sin duda, a la segunda categoría.

Desde la portada emerge una clara declaración de intenciones: una danza macabra que gira alrededor de un rostro deforme y grotesco, inmerso en una espiral de cuerpos esqueléticos, símbolos de muerte y transformación. No se trata de una simple estética extrema, sino de un manifiesto filosófico de absoluta oscuridad.

La imagen evoca la tradición medieval de la Danza Macabra, donde la muerte anula toda jerarquía humana, arrastrando a la vida hacia el mismo e inexorable torbellino. El círculo se convierte también en metáfora y símbolo de la escena underground: un movimiento subterráneo que continúa viviendo precisamente porque rechaza la luz artificial de los reflectores y las inútiles lógicas de la industria moderna.

En el interior de este vinilo encontramos cuatro bandas que han marcado la historia de este arte negro: Mortuum, Mutilated Christ, Legión y Grimorium Verum.

Estas entidades encarnan plenamente las distintas expresiones del metal extremo latinoamericano sin concesiones. El hilo conductor no es solamente la violencia sonora, sino una actitud radical que concibe el metal como una experiencia liminal, un lenguaje que atraviesa el sacrilegio, lo oculto y la disolución del yo.

Musicalmente, el disco exalta el black metal en su estado más primitivo, privilegiando un enfoque instintivo por encima de la perfección técnica. La producción, áspera y cruda, conserva el polvo de las salas de ensayo, el olor de los locales underground y la distancia frente a cualquier compromiso comercial. Es materia bruta, donde cada distorsión narra autenticidad.

Los temas de cada banda conforman un viaje astral de una hora y diez minutos de duración.

Ecuador, a menudo relegado en las grandes narrativas del metal mundial, demuestra con recopilaciones como esta que el underground no conoce periferias. Al contrario, es precisamente en los contextos menos expuestos al mercado donde suele nacer la música más sincera.

El término Subterráneo adquiere así un doble significado: geográfico y espiritual. Subterráneo es aquello que crece lejos de la luz artificial de los reflectores; es el lugar donde la cultura aún conserva su carácter iniciático.

El vinilo se convierte, por tanto, en mucho más que un soporte analógico: es un receptáculo ritual. El gesto de extraerlo de la funda, contemplar la portada, apoyar la aguja y escuchar el crujido inicial devuelve una dimensión del tiempo que el streaming casi ha borrado. Aquí la escucha no es consumo, sino participación.

En definitiva, Ecuador Subterráneo II representa un valioso testimonio de la vitalidad del metal extremo ecuatoriano en su naturaleza más primigenia. Y quizá esa sea su enseñanza más profunda: en la era de la homogeneización digital, el subsuelo sigue recordándonos que la cultura más auténtica nace casi siempre allí donde pocos tienen el valor de excavar.

Entrevista: Oscuridad (Colombia)

Oscuridad, un umbral que atraviesa las profundidades, emanando una visión que trasciende la música y se transforma en una contemplación del vacío, la noche y las fuerzas primordiales que habitan el alma humana.
A través de las palabras de Rio De Muerte, exploramos el Black Metal como un instrumento diabólico de reflexión, donde este abismo no representa la negación, sino un camino hacia el conocimiento más profundo e incontaminado.

1-Rio De Muerte, bienvenido a nuestro búnker.
Antes de comenzar este viaje, ¿podrías presentarte a los lectores de esta entrevista?

R: Oscuro saludo. Mi nombre Río de Muerte, fundador de la Banda de Black Metal Oscuridad, de Colombia.

2- Oscuridad tomó forma en el año 2000. Un nombre que puede evocar el vientre primordial donde reside una revelación.
¿Qué representa verdaderamente la oscuridad para ti en relación con tu arte?

R: Oscuridad se formó en 1998, por lo que han pasado casi 30 años de batallas, tiempo durante el cual hemos tocado Black Metal sin interrupción. En cuanto a mi arte y su relación con la oscuridad, quisiera explicar la estrecha conexión entre ambos conceptos. Esto es lo que representa el "arte ma***to": una relación profunda entre el arte y una ideología oscura e infernal. La visión de Oscuridad busca establecer a través de nuestra ideología maldita la existencia y la revelación del ser humano.

3- Demoniac Throne (2007).
El primer manifiesto plasmado a través de grabaciones crudas, riffs contundentes y composiciones que comenzaron a definir la identidad de la banda. Han pasado casi dos décadas desde su creación.
¿Qué recuerdos tienes ?

R:Así es, pasa el tiempo y se retienen grandes recuerdos de esta época. Los principales podrían ser, los momentos difíciles en el estudio de grabación que solo fueron resueltos por la gran hermandad existente entre los miembros de la Banda.
Pasamos momentos difíciles debido a la exigencia en la calidad de la interpretación. Estábamos muy concentrados, siempre en todos nuestros álbumes.

4. Siempre es interesante profundizar en un análisis introspectivo al hablar de una banda con una larga trayectoria. Cada álbum de Oscuridad se nutre de la ferocidad primigenia del black metal con arreglos atmosféricos y un desarrollo compositivo constante. ¿Cómo analizas esta evolución en relación con tu propio crecimiento personal?

R: De esto se trata, de crecer, de avanzar y profundizar en el conocimiento. A través del tiempo, se aprende el valor de la entrega y la disciplina, además de muchos otros aspectos que te hacen crecer como persona y como músico. No podría separa los dos aspectos; evolución y crecimiento personal. Más bien puedo decir que mi vida y Muerte se fortalecen al ser un artista oscuro y ma***to.

5. Cada obra de la banda puede interpretarse como un viaje iniciático, una liturgia compuesta por diversos aspectos.
Para cada uno de estos álbumes, ¿podrías formular un análisis o reflexión sobre lo que representaron para ti en ese preciso momento?

-Demoniac Throne (2007 )
- Antomía (2016)
-Seis plumas negras (2018)
-Legion (2021)
-La partitura del diablo (2025)

R: Oscuridad ha podido publicar 5 álbumes y todos tienen una gran capacidad para relacionarse entre sí. Sería difícil ver a cada una de nuestras producciones de manera particular. Todo nuestro trabajo representa el poder de la magia negra ancestral colombiana y el tiempo son solo escalones en el crecimiento del conocimiento ma***to ancestral.

6- En una era sodomizada por la tecnología, la adicción a las apariencias y el consumismo más materialista, los seres humanos están perdiendo su lado espiritual, las tradiciones místicas y seculares propias de cada cultura.
En tu opinión, ¿crees que el black metal sigue siendo uno de los últimos lenguajes capaces de resistir esta ataraxia?

R: Si lo creo, solo que todas las bandas de black metal no resisten ante la falsedad. No podría generalizar, eso es difícil en un mundo movido por el materialismo. Se trata entonces de mirarnos a sí mismos y analizar el valor de nuestra ideología satanista, de nuestra expresión.
Es tarea fundamental, luchar por nuestro espíritu ma***to e infernal.

7- Creo que el ocultismo auténtico no se trata de coleccionar símbolos ni recitar fórmulas, sino más bien de un acto de conocimiento radical.
Se trata de mirar más allá del velo de las apariencias, hacia las profundidades del ser.
¿Qué importancia tiene el ocultismo en tu camino personal?

R: Es un crecimiento individual, así como lo es el conocimiento satanista. El camino de la mano izquierda, es mi dirección, mi vida está entregada a las sombras de la oscuridad.
El ocultismo lo practico a partir del conocimiento del lado oscuro. Es la entrega a las tinieblas.
Este es mi camino.

8- Dado el nombre que usaste: Río de Muerte, te haré una pregunta directa. ¿Cuál es tu relación con la muerte?

R: La maldita Muerte ha sido la encargada de mostrarme el camino de las sombras. Solo somos materia pasajera, nuestro verdadero destino nos lo mostrará la Muerte. Ella me espera, calmada y tranquila en su trono de la sabiduría infinita.

9- Si Oscuridad fuera un ritual, ¿cuál sería su propósito último?

R: El ma***to legado ancestral, mágico y ma***to. Rescatar y conocer la ancestralidad de nuestra maldita historia pagana e infernal.

10- Rio, ¿tienes algún otro proyecto musical que te gustaría comentar en esta entrevista?

R: Si, son varios mis proyectos alternos. Investigo en el Dark Ambient, también en el Black Metal depresivo o DSBM. Este último proyecto es llamado Luna Depresiva.

11- Rio De Muerte, nuestro ritual ha llegado a su culminación. Concluyes con un mensaje final para quienes caminan en la oscuridad.

R: Invito a tus lectores oscuros a conocer la más reciente producción de Oscuridad, “La partitura del Diablo”.
Le Agradezco Giuseppe, por la oportunidad de expresar conceptos y opiniones fundamentales para Oscuridad.
Hop ma***tos,
Ave Lucifer.
