Monumentum : In Absentia Christi - CD
Ref: 22602
Re-release of the legendary first album! In deluxe digipack with a 12 page booklet. The 1996 debut album on Misanthropy Records UK (famous for the early albums by Burzum and other ‘cult' acts) , quickly bec a me a small legendary release in the underground, recognized and hailed by many as the most influential album on an entire scene. " One of the most musically experimental albums ever released while still structurally carved into ethereal wave, gothic rock and doom metal, with wtih a more avant-garde, Middle Eastern-inspired sound. You will definitely hear a unique combination of influences like Christian Death, Dead Can Dance, and Celtic Frost, and a lot of the music is incredibly unique for the amount of experimentation in this album. The best word to describe this album's music is ominous. In Absentia Christi is one of the best examples of a gothic metal band experimenting with different and unconventional styles of music without falling into the same formulaic characteristics that would plague the genre in the next 15 years. I will boldly say that this album deserves a lot of recognition as one of the earliest gothic metal albums to be released from Italy. Trust me, it's an album you have to hear to believe .” Tracks :01. Battesimo: Nero Opaco 02. A Thousand breathing Crosses 03. Consuming Jerusalem 04. Fade to Grey 05.
