Limited Edition pressing of this 2006 album packaged in an exclusive eight-panel digipak. Dark Funeral's most eagerly anticipated recording in their now decade-long career. Eight tracks including 'King Antichrist', '666 Voices', 'Godhate' and more. Regain Records.
"Attera Totus Sanctus" is as brutal as it is relentless. The guitars are scorching (you rarely hear any actual notes or riffs, you just hear a wall of searing guitar noise), the production is crisp, and the drums and rhythms pound like a jackhammer. In fact, this would probably be labeled a death metal album if it weren't for Emperor Magus' opaque vocals. "Attera Totus Sanctus" doesn't sound at all cold or barren-like some black metal albums-but not a single ray of light shines through any of these songs, because the vocals, which are shrill, unintelligible, and very high pitched, make one's skin crawl. There are some melodic guitar lines here and there (like in the title track, "King Antichrist," and "Godhate"), but they're few and far between and very hard to find. Songs such as "666 Voices Inside" and "Final Ritual" are driven and highlighted by the drummer's insanely fast and heavy blast beats, whereas songs like "Godhate" are explosive salvos of white hot riffs and quick, thunderous double bass drumming. The last two tracks worth mentioning are "Angel Flesh Impaled" and "Feed on the Mortals." The former track is backed by a surging guitar attack, a tempo change, and more fast drumming; and the latter song has creepy, ominous spoken word vocals. So, this album is very heavy and uncompromising, but the well trained ear will find a few melodious moments. I prefer my black metal a little more atmospheric and with more standout tracks; but, even still, "Attera Totus Sanctus" is a very solid album, and an essential purchase for dark metal diehards.
