WURDULAK ► Severed Eyes Of Possession (2001)



Origin: Norway
Genre: Black Metal
Label: Season Of Mist
Quality: MP3 320 Kbps

Line-Up

Maniac / Killjoy - Vo-kills
Frediablo - Guitar
Iscariah - Bass
Fug - Guitar
Ihizahg - Guitar
Jehmod - Drums

The artwork for "Severed Eyes of Possession", was once again created by Patrick Tremblay. This art is much like a sequel to "Ceremony In flames", much in the way a horror film has its sequel and stays true to the extreme graphic nature of the 1st record.

Wurdulak's music is completely mind melting; insane, and thoroughly blasphemous black metal. Recently signed with Coffin Records, Season of Mist will handle all manufacturing and marketing for their sophomore assault, "Severed Eyes of Possession". This second offering clearly shows that this is a serious band and not a side project of any member, "Severed Eyes of Possession" will annihilate the listener in a torturous manner! The name itself, "Wurdulak", conjures a certain uneasiness taken from the Mario Bava film Black Sabbath, and means a blood-drinking corpse.

There is a definite musical progression from the band on "Severed Eyes of Possession". Guitarist Fug recently comment's on the new material, "We feel this records helps Wurdulak develop our own style and also solidifies this line-up as a serious band, we definitely all feel that we will be a very strong live act and we're anxious to plays some festivals and live shows!" One other notable change is that Killjoy and Maniac are providing "vo-kills" on completely different tracks this time unlike their debut, which featured both singers vokill-izing on mostly all the material. "Killjoy states, "For the next record we'll do half the material together and the other half separate, but with the way we recorded the vo-kills this time, it gives the record a total new feel. "Severed eyes..." will leave you possessed!!!
