Before the silence, there was doubt. ANIMI VULTUS returns to the most solitary corners of existence - consciousness, isolation, meaninglessness, and the absence of anything beyond the self. A raw black metal EP built from cold atmosphere, primitive aggression and existential darkness, exploring the human mind when faith has disappeared and nothing remains to give existence a higher purpose. There is no revelation here. No divine presence. No promised meaning. Only the individual, alone with consciousness, confronted by the void. Recorded in the raw tradition of underground black metal, this is music stripped of comfort and ornament - old, imperfect and uncompromising. An older chapter in the sound of ANIMI VULTUS. Raw Black Metal / Existential / Atmospheric --- AVE.LTD004 Recorded during winter/spring 2004 Originally released by AVE RECORDS LTD as limited edition mini CDR in 2004
