SERPENT OF OLD – Ensemble Under The Dark Sun LP with Metallic Effect and UV Lamination (Limited and numbered to 100 per variant)

Description

These are high quality LPs that are imported from the best plants in Europe. There’s only one variant for this landmark release which is strictly limited and hand-numbered to 150 copies worldwide. The thick gatefold sleeves have a beautiful metallic effect all over and there’s even raised UV lamination done on parts of the layout. The artwork by Santiago Caruso looks stellar here. Each LP comes with a hand-numbered card and download codes.

Serpent of Old from Turkey meld influences from various genres to play an absolutely mesmerizing form of predominantly death/black metal music that does so much more. The music seamlessly transitions from ambitious progressive riffing to parts that are dark and doomy, even indulging in fiery solos and doleful tunes that showcase their emotional depth. A multi-faceted beast, it keeps changing things up without betraying the true nature; everything is intuitively done and executed to perfection. It’s the only way Serpent of Old are able to write songs that are almost 10 mins long and retain your interest throughout the duration. It’s a complex album that you can easily get lost in without feeling disoriented. And that’s reason enough for you to keep revisiting it over and over again and invariably discover new facets each time. This is a fantastic, highly accomplished album that is easily one of the highlights in recent times.
