Ceremony of Darkness , at heavily trafficked web-portal
InvisibleOranges.com . Set for international release on June 26th via Spread Evil Productions, hear Orfvs' Ceremony of Darkness in its entirety exclusively
HERE .
Lingering in the shadows for the past decade, Finland's Orfvs formed in 2010 and released a debut demo that year. At the end of 2011 came a 7" EP, The Greatest Sacrifice, for the late/great Hammer of Hate Records. Then silence...
At long last, Orfvs emerge from the shadows with a four-song mini-album fittingly titled Ceremony of Darkness. This is black metal witchcraft at it finest: slow to mid-paced conjurings from the dungeon in the old Gehenna (Norway) style, suffused with medieval synths. It's a sound too long forgotten, but Orfvs know its spells with authenticity, sincerity, and reverence. Ceremony of Darkness fully reeks of that genuinely mystical evil of Satanic darkness and esoteric occultism!
