trill-dilly-92 Very solid release of what the kids today call “orthodox” black metal. Great musicianship, songwriting, and vocals. Hardly original, but very well done! Favorite track: Subcutaneous Infection (Of Flesh And Its Decay).

    The Classic 2nd album from the Leaders of the French Black Metal scene finally available again!

    Originally released in 2006 and out of print since 2018, this French Black Metal Masterpiece, considered by many to be MERRIMACK’s finest work, receives a much deserved and demanded reissue.

    A breath of pestilent air rises up from the underground: Of Entropy and Life Denial, MERRIMACK’s second studio album and first for Moribund Records. A cult name in the black metal scene, MERRIMACK here unleash a terrorizing attack of dirty decibels and soul-searing melodicism yet retain a frightening clarity. This is the way TRUE black metal must be played – bend to their will, or perish!

    PRESS:
