Slagmark - Purging Sacred Soils CD

PURITY THROUGH FIRE is proud to present the striking debut album of Germany's SLAGMARK, Purging Sacred Soils, on CD, A5 digipak, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Although a brand-new entity, SLAGMARK feature members of SARKRISTA and TOTENWACHE. As such, the brand play pure and proud BLACK METAL of the old 'n' cold variety. Trace elements of classic Finnish-style black metal run rampant across Purging Sacred Soils - a cryogenic fire, steeped in filth and fury as it is hateful - which is not surprising given the SARKRISTA connection, they a band of transplanted Finns. Indeed, SLAGMARK add new fuel to the fire that stokes the classic Finnish/German alliance, tearing through six songs in a swift half-hour of raw 'n' righteous splendor. Familiar it may be, but "returning to misery and comfort," as Sargeist once put it, is a quintessentially black metal activity...

Nasty melodicism, dangerous execution, a total disregard for modernity and "progression"...begin Purging Sacred Soils with SLAGMARK!
