SAEVUS FINIS – facilis descensus averno LP

There’s only one variant for this outstanding 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 Pedro Mau looks excellent here. Each LP comes with a hand-numbered card and download codes + free patch

Coiling tightly around like a vindictive colossal snake, asphyxiating and temporarily blinding with its slithering motion, the music of Saevus Finis has a specific result on the listener. Their music is immediately overpowering; rhythmically throbbing with chest-bursting heaviness, the pounding parts are alternated with angular, incisive riffing. Militaristic blasts give way to slower, time-manipulating music, emphasizing nothing but even more heaviness, as dissonant tunes augment the perplexing situation. Saevus Finis have mastered the art of combining the best elements to create dark, hypnotic and suffocating death metal with a menacing blackened edge that keeps drawing in the listener. Always intriguing, the music almost feels ritualistic, methodical and immersive, and impossible to escape. It finds a way to get inside your consciousness and remain with you. Physically compelling with its sheer heaviness and mentally disarming with its beguiling tunes, Saevus Finis have come up with an astounding debut assimilating the best influences where dark, arcane music of this kind goes.
