***NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL!!! Multi-instrumentalist Andrew Markuszewski (a.k.a. Aamonael), one of the founding members of the popular and notorious Nachtmystium, currently plays in blackened sludge metal abomination Lord Mantis. But Avichi is his solo outlet to show that he is one of the premier visionaries in today’s black metal scene. Releasing his debut album under the Avichi moniker in 2007, he gained even further recognition for his sophomore full-length The Devil’s Fractal, a dark and sinister opus released by Profound Lore in 2011 that told the history of Lucifer in seven chapters. Set to build upon the success of The Devil’s Fractal, the new Avichi album will solidify Markuszewski’s reputation as one of the most important masterminds of the American underground. Catharsis Absolute is a virulent yet enlightening expression of sophisticated black metal and the artist’s most accomplished work to date. Needless to say, it is an essential release for fans of cult entities such as Leviathan, Negative Plane, Lurker of Chalice, Deathspell Omega, Katharsis and early Nachtmystium.
