Ante-Inferno
Short bio:
“Death’s Soliloquy” is the third full-length from Ante-Inferno, released Nov 22 via Vendetta Records and is an exploration of lyricist Kai’s journey through depression and hopelessness, through obsessive thoughts of the most morbid and macabre nature—thoughts of self-destruction interwoven with the most appalling nightmares, broken hopes and unacted desires. As old lives are shed and new lives struggle to take form, there is always a war raging within and without—a war that can never truly be won but may, at any moment, be lost for all eternity.
Rated as one of the best black metal albums of 2024 by respected publications including Metal Hammer, No Clean Singing, and Angry Metal Guy, “Death’s Soliloquy” saw the band deliver a malevolent hammer strike to the face of all who thought they would continue to mellow after the success of the atmospheric and otherworldly “Antediluvian Dreamscapes”. An ode to madness, mental illness, death obsession and unfettered suicidal despair, “Death’s Soliloquy” harnesses the bestial might of traditional black metal and intricately weaves it with the haunting majesty of the atmospheric sound the band is known for, and in doing so takes the listener on an anguished, hysterical descent into the blackened emptiness of the grave.
