Dear listeners.
'Verferum' is an ode to what seems to be never-ending and reveals itself to be short and finite. Memento mori.
We take funeral doom as a rite. It is a magnificent shrine in a mysterious wild nature which we enter with sacred fear. The church organ is an instrument of celebration of the moments like this. Organ as a brutal mass bearing the guitar and vocal compositions, organ as an ethereal sigh, distant chants. Sharpened senses. Hope. Waiting. Atonement.
We pay homage to J. S. Bach. His immortal work was our great inspiration, especially Prelude & Fugue C minor BWV546 and Passacaglia C minor BWV582.
The album is to be listened loud.
Yours Faithfully – Quercus
