Album review: Idolatry - In Nomine Mortis (2019)

 

Idolatry – In Nomine Mortis

Hailing from the depths of Alberta, Canada, the black metal warriors known as Idolatry release their second album, entitled "In Nomine Mortis." The album was released in 2019, and I do not think I have seen much feedback for it. Idolatry’s music takes inspiration from various wings of black metal, as you can hear elements from both the second-wave and more contemporary acts. The album opens with a cold acoustic interlude that sets the tone before all hell breaks loose and the listener is assaulted with a series of unholy riffs and demonic shrieks that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. “In Nomine Mortis” is full of good songs that are impressive in terms of craftsmanship. The overall sound of this album has a very clear second-wave feel and atmosphere, which is especially evident in the riffs. The singer has a very sharp and piercing scream that fits well with their style. The production allows all the instruments to be heard, although I would have liked to hear a little more low-end. It sounds like music that was carefully and thoughtfully composed. All in all, this is a well-crafted black metal album and a solid entry from Canada. (HT)
