The Rebirth Of The Middle Ages Ep

THE 1996 DEBUT OF CULT CLASSIC MEDIEVAL BLACK METAL MASTERY FROM MONACO'S GODKILLER Formed in 1993 & hailing from Monaco, Godkiller was the vision of multi-instrumentalist & sole founding member, Duke Satana l, who between 1996 & 2000 released an EP & two studio albums under the Godkiller name, commencing with the black metal cult classic debut 'The Rebirth of the Middle Ages'. Though initially more a death metal inspired act in the formative years, Godkiller quickly evolved into a project fully engulfed in the spirit of 1990's black metal, recalling acts like Emperor & Satyricon for the implementation of such strong atmospherics, though on later releases Godkiller incorporated more industrial & electronic elements into the compositions as part of its creative evolution. 'The Rebirth of the Middle Ages' was originally released in 1996, & is a prime example of finely crafted, grandiose yet raw black metal of the times, following on from the strong groundwork of 1995's demo, 'The Warlord', & even incorporating music from that release, with anti-Christian themes prevalent throughout & an overall concept of the battle between good & evil. With a cold, stripped down production, plus triumphantly dark yet epic riffs mixed with tortured vocals & highly effective synthesizer melodies, the EP evokes a strong Medieval atmosphere throughout, showing why 'The Rebirth of the Middle Ages' is still highly regarded as a glorious touch of darkness from the past.
