The Deification

(Earsplit Records - 2012)



 
 

 

The fourth album from De Magia Veterum brings no news. They are doing their noisy metal as it was coming directly from a factory hall where all the machinery gives a background rhythm of general noise, then adding some guitars and growling vocals to the songs. Seven new songs is what De Magia Veterum brings their fans, but there are little variation to say the least in the material, and as they can't get rid of the noisy image I can't see how they can still make one album after another. If noise has a charm, then it is De Magia Veterum you should turn to.

The Divine Antithesis

(Transcendental Creations - 2011)



 
 

 

This is again one single mans work, this new release from Mories of the band De Magia Veterum. His new album is this time called The Divine Antithesis, and even though he is experienced with earlier connections with Gnaw Their Tongues, this new release is something so out of the ordinary that many see him as too special and odd. There is no compromise in what he is doing, and with that attitude it has become a full hearted seven song album from Mories, and his music is filled with aggressive brutal black and even more black metal from the forgotten parts of the warehouse. The opening song Transfiguration is an example of this dedicated aggressive style and the content of the song is not bad at all, just very very special, and some would throw the cd in the garbage bag right away, but there is no need for that. The Heavens is of course brutal, but very personal and honest in the blackest corners of black metal. Torn Between Ruins is both funny and melodic, not something you would expect from a committed black metal enthusiast.
