Cemetery Lament

A few months ago ( all the way back in May actually ) I featured Vile Tyrant here on Cemetery Lament. You can check out the original feature here . So you can imagine I was pretty fucking pumped when I checked my email today and found that the boys from Utica NY had sent me a link to their new music video and asked me to check it out... Which of course I did... and true to Vile Tyrant form I was not disappointed.  Much like their EP Consummation of the Black Arts , the video for Unto Wrath Be Given is a high quality masterwork of black metal. As I pointed out in the original feature, Vile Tyrant's production quality is as good (if not better) than many bands that have signed with "major" labels.  But don't take my word for it.

Their current lineup [per the EP release] consists of Aphotis (vocals and bass) Khandrak (lead guitar), Bezual (guitar and synth) and Kimaris (drums).  I asked the band about their music style and the general themes they are trying to convey. After listening to Consummation of the Black Arts I wasn't surprised at all by the answer I received... F...
