MORTUARY DRAPE
SPIRITUAL INDEPENDENCE

New album from one of the longest reigning black metal bands - MORTUARY DRAPE. 'Spiritual Independence' is their first in 10 years. With this album, Mortuary Drape reinvigorates their approach by harkening back to the sound the band achieved with its seminal recordings. The band's signature use of prominent, driving bass lines and shimmering minor key arpeggios is featured to great effect on this album. Compositionally, the riffing on "Spiritual Independence" is superb, and the band deftly transitions between sometimes wildly divergent parts, which adds greater dimension to the songs. Strategically executed guitar solos punctuate the album, and Wildness Perversion's wretched vocals and supernatural incantations intensify the ominous effect of the tracks. Thus, present are all of the essential elements of the classic Mortuary Drape sound.
