***Chilean/Austrian occult rock/post-punk necromancer Marca Diaboli emerges with its first hexation—"Labyrintomb", a grave-born spell book of primeval shamanic rock musick invoking evil spirits and dark forces from beyond the flesh. Sordid and decaying in formal aesthetic, yet enchanting in its bewitching magnetism, the eighteen-minute debut offering sees influences from bands like In Solitude, Negative Plane, Bauhaus, Amebix and The Devil's Blood sublimating into the nightsky like cursed invokations howling from a witch's cauldron. Its subterranean production quality and deteriorated lo-fi aesthetic are surely black metal derived, revealing an evil origin and nurturing a nauseous presence of death that permeates every note played. Yet its restless vibrancy and hypnotic melodies unearth a primeval seduction impossible to restrain. Cobweb-clad sepulchers, moldy, dripping ruins and bygone graveyards reanimate across its five rapturous spells into a cathartic moon-lit trance, as the frenzied ritual burns cryptic offerings in the night, unto the marvel and immensity of death.
