Exordium Mors - As Legends Fade and Gods Dies (2022)

As Legends Fade and Gods Dies, the second album from Exordium Mors may be not as awesome as their first one (I urge you to listen to The Apotheosis of Death), but it's another excellent one anyway, among the best recent metal releases. They polished a bit their sound, and I'm not sure it really makes it better, but it's ok, I suppose some will prefer it this way. Othersiwe they are back with another assault of epic black/death/thrash/speed, with high level songwriting skills, and old school in spirit but modern and quite technical in execution. Highly recommended!

Exordium mors - The Apotheosis of Death (2014)

The Apotheosis of Death is the first full-length (after some demo, Ep's etc. the band being active since 2004) from Exordium mors, hailing from New Zealand. This album is just awesomely METAL. It's a powerful merging of black metal (the vocals, blast beats), thrash / death metal (the fast paced riffing / drumming) and traditional heavy metal (the epic songwriting). It's heavy, fast, aggressive, barbaric and epic. It's very well played and written. The overall atmosphere reminds bands like Immortal, Bathory, Destroyer 666 or even Manilla road! A relentless headbanging feast. It combines with powerful result the old school spirit of metal with its modern aggressivity. Really cool stuff!!
