Description
1998'S CLASSIC SECOND STUDIO ALBUM OF SYMPHONIC, OCCULT BLACK METAL. PRESENTED ON DOUBLE GATEFOLD VINYL & ON THE VINYL FORMAT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Opera IX are a symphonic black metal band formed in Italy by guitarist Ossian & released their debut album 'The Call of the Wood' in 1995 & over subsequent years have become regarded as one of the most revered & important Italian bands of the genre.
The band's sound is an eclectic concoction, moving beyond straight-forward black metal, mixing elements of thrash, doom & death metal with symphonic elements, even folk influences. Opera IX is known for their strong occult themes blended with topics of paganism & are also known for being one of the first examples of a black metal band with a female vocalist.
'Sacro Culto' was the band's second album, originally released in 1998. Lead singer Cadaveria used more melodic vocal experimentation this time with almost operatic passages sitting alongside the trademark black metal style whilst further evolving the central themes of occultism & paganism.
This edition of 'Sacro Culto' is presented on double gatefold vinyl & on the vinyl format for the first time.
