CONCILIVM was born in 2017, founded by its only two members, A and Ω, in the cold south of Chile. Inspired by the darkness of death and black metal of the '90s, wanting to capture all the violence and mysticism in a work, they decide to release their first recording, an EP titled The Veiled Enigma, which emanated from the abyss in late 2017.

Tireless and thirsty to continue spreading their darkness, in 2021, CONCILIVM entered the studio to record what will be their first full-length work, A Monument In Darkness. Encompassing eight tracks across a soul-devouring 39 minutes, A Monument In Darkness is aptly titled: here, a work of pure, dark alchemical devotion to death and the mysteries that surround it.

Concilivm's chosen medium may still be blackened death, but there's a supernatural aura to their feral bestiality and muscular surge; sounds come from myriad, nameless abysses, always from every direction but always taking on a life of their own. Thus, within A Monument In Darkness we find reverse whispers of the dead, angular drums of war, utterly ignorant beatdowns, entrancing speed, and even malevolent melodies within their classically early '90s leads.

A Monument In Darkness, is set for international release on April 8th, 2022 via Iron Bonehead Productions on CD and vinyl LP formats but today begin distilling with the brand-new track 'Oneiric Abyss'.

CONCILIVM is:

A - guitar, bass
Ω - drums, vocals

Netherlands' blackened death metal masters, GOD DETHRONED, unveiled the video for the title track from their new full-length record "Illuminati", out February 7th, 2020 via Metal Blade Record.

God Dethroned's Henri Sattler checked in with the following comment about "Illuminati": "Freemasons, occultists and conspiracy theory enthusiasts pay attention! God Dethroned is back to smack you in the face with our new album called 'Illuminati'. After finishing the World War One trilogy, it was about time to go back to dark side with songs about religion, freemasonry and the occult. Song titles like 'Spirit of Beelzebub', 'Broken Halo', 'Book of Lies' and 'Satan Spawn' leave very little to the imagination as to what to expect from us from a lyrical point of view.

But those of you who expected us to go back into a raging frenzy of endless blastbeats and buzzsaw blade guitar sounds better beware. 'Illuminati' is our most varied album to date with a heavy, yet in-your-face type of production. We managed to make our sound bigger and more orchestral than ever before with the use of both atmospheric keyboard parts and many additional vocal parts such as choirs and grunt-on-tone type of vocals. There is a lot to be discovered in the songs of this album because of the many details hidden in the music that will only reveal itself after many listens, and at the same time the tunes on 'Illuminati' are catchier than ever before.

Lovers of Rhandy Roads-meets-Marty Friedman type of melodic guitar solos should definitely give Dave Meester's spectacular leads a listen. Dave was welcomed to the band's line-up during the European tour with Belphegor and Suffocation and stayed within our ranks ever since. Former guitar player Mike Ferguson however contributed greatly to 'Illuminati' by writing several stunning songs and riffs as well as recording half of all the rhythm tracks on the album. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours."
