MORD
Christendom Perished

Southern Lord

_________________________________________________

Berserk black/death/crawl-in-a-hole-and-die fuck metal from the charred church remains and enchanted forests of darkest Norway. Mord is a two-man gang consisting of one “Nordra” on bestial yelping and axes of all varieties, and Necrolucas (“Luke”, to his buddies) on drums. Back in 1999, Mord used to just be Nordra, until Nordra, I’m guessing, got lonely a year or two later, and sought out a many tentacled drummer to flesh out his morbid tales. And thusly, the cannons of destruction were sounded. The boldly titled “Christendon Perished” (You fellas are gonna have to burn a whole lotta fuckin’ churches in Iowa and Kansas before that shit happens) is their first full-length (there’s a demo and an OOP single floating around, for the cultists among us), and it’s one long, relentless hammerblow to the skull. Imagine raw, necro-black metal mixed with the splattery thrash guitars of Witchery and the jarring black-ambient ghostly noises of Abruptum, and you’ve got a ticket on Mord’s terror train. All the songs are called “Opus”, so details are mostly unnecessary, so let me just strongly suggest that black metal freaks of all stripes (except for those melodic-black pussies) to hop on your swiftest infernal steed and head over to your nearest hellpit to snatch this up. Christianity ain’t gonna kill itself, ya know.
