Fuck-off-attitude! In 2013 the first Album „Back to the Kult of the Tyrants“ comes out and was a complete dedication to the „First Wave of Black Metal“ Bands like Venom,Celtic Frost and Hellhammer.
The new Album „To the Gallows“ goes one step further and is more melodic.The development results in more complex song structures, many details in songwriting and surprises the listener with unawaited elements that gives an in depth experience. . They ́ve added a lot of influences from classical heavy metal this time full of variety in the songs which are often hymnic melodic, but also aggressive without denying their roots.

« A liturgy of decay, because if you want to learn to fly, you will first have to learn to fall »

At the crossroads between a deeply gothic style (in an almost literal meaning of the word), carried by a misty and originally disenchanted religiosity which gathers inspiration in centuries-aged musical shapes and orchestrations, and a truly modern, clear-voiced, atmospheric and melodic metal, +Liturgy Of Decay+ is the place of birth and the cradle of what reviews formerly described as a deeply personal and yet unexplored style – to which has been given the designation of “ flamboyant gothic metal”, in reference to the proliferation characteristic of the architectural genre with the same name as well as to the bringing together and to the confrontation within its aesthetic, dialectical and musical content of abyssal darkness and of sparkling lights from intense radiance, of black opacities and of vibrant clarities. Blending a wide spectre of influences from Dead Can Dance, The Cure, The Sisters Of Mercy or Elend to Paradise Lost, Samael, Moonspell or Tiamat, passing by symphonic, liturgical and electronic music, the band’s work, carried by a permanent emotional and spiritual tension wandering the extremes both high and low, drives to the exploration of an ageless universe where saturated guitars and hammered rhythms, classical and electronic orchestrations, great organs, harpsichords, choirs and carillons melt with each other and weave a backcloth where an alternately plaintive and incantatory chant psalmodies the revolt and the bitterness of an aching past and the invocation for a glorious future by calling to an uprising of the Self against despondency.

Realms of Odoric – “Second Age”

Label: MDD Records/Shop
Release Date: December 14th, 2016
Genre: Classical/Soundtrack
Country: Internacional
Running Time: 43 min

Line-up:
Arkadius Antonik – All instruments
Kris Verwimp – Artwork, Concept

The soundtrack project of well known graphic artist Kris Verwimp (Marduk, Manegarm, Tyrfing, SuidAkra), and musician and composer Arkadius Antonik (SuidAkra, Fall Of Carthage), where they combine their creativity in a concept of a huge fantasy world, will be continued by the end of the year 2016 with “Second Age”. “Second Age” tells the story of the second era of Odoric. The story is realized in the complex and orchestral compositions of Arcadius, as well as numerous illustrations by Kris Verwimp, which can be admired in the offered 80-page book. Due to the study and completion of Arkadius at the Audiocaution Academy, the compositions are much more mature than ever before. For the first time in the history of the project, the recordings were recorded with the participation of guest musicians from all over the world. Two compositions of this amazing work were played and recorded by the Brandenburg State Orchestra and the Budapest Scoring Symphonic Orchestra. The 18 tracks undoubtedly represent the culminating point of the creation of both exceptional artists, and create a fascinating and inspiring experience for listeners as well as beholders. Composings and recordings (with exception of the orchestral recordings) “Second Age” was created by Arcadius Antonik in the “Realms Of Odoric” studio (Würzburg), while Martin Buchwalter is responsible for mastering at the Gernhart Studio Troisdorf.

The CD Book is only available on MDD (and a few choosen shops) without huge store distribution.
The project is defined by the combination of illustrations and music.

FALL OF CARTHAGE – “The Longed-For Reckoning”

Leave a comment

FALL OF CARTHAGE – “The Longed-For Reckoning”

With their second album, “The Longed-For Reckoning”, Fall Of Carthage prove their intentions are serious. After numerous live shows within the last few months, it’s clear this is not just a sideproject of Arkadius Antonik (Official SuidAkrA, Realms of Odoric) and Martin Buchwalter (Perzonal War), who pulled Sascha Aßbach in front of the mic after a long absence from the music scene.

Sixteen songs represent a genre-defying creativity and joy for experimentation, as well as, their love for detail and natural sounds. Those who expect programmed blast-beats and typical Thrash or Metalcore structures will be in for a surprise. What you get is much more. Their sound can be described somewhere between groove metal, hardcore and rap without having the feeling of simply throwing sounds together.
The versatility of Sascha’s vocals is convincing in its full spectrum. Thanks to the solid and elaborate songwriting that all band members were involved in from the beginning, the new tracks are catchy without getting boring.
FOC have grown together musically, and so “The Longed-For Reckoning” will surely be a highlight for 2017.
Like the debut, “Behold,” this album was produced at Gernhart Studio in Troisdorf, and promises a fat ass sound with superb mixing. Be on the lookout for “The Longed-For Reckoning” in early 2017.

Label: MDD Records
Release Date: January 27th, 2017
Genre: New School Thrash & Metal
Country: Germany
Running Time: 58 min

Line-up:
Sascha Aßbach – vocals
Arkadius Antonik – guitar
Martin Buchwalter – drums

1. Fast Forward
2. Dust And Dirt
3. Sick Intentions
4. They’re Alive
5. Swept To The Edge
