Darkness Shall Rise Productions announces April 17th as the international release date for Daemonium Regni’s striking debut album, Daemonium Regnin, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
DAEMONIUM REGNI – Mater Daemonium (DSR346 Daemonium Regni – DSR Productions)
In lieu of this announcement, Daemonium Regni reveal the first track „Mater Daemonium.“ „Mater Daemonium“ was first composed back in 2015 as the first written song under the name of Daemonium Regni, but was at that time nothing more then just a song of no special interest. But 10 years later, it had developed to something else, something darker and more profound. The working process was indeed a process of different levels; throughout the years, the music changed and the vocals with it. It became an interesting journey personally and emotionally, as it was clear that every step on the way was a development both as a musician and as a vocalist. Nothing has been left to chance. „Mater Daemonium“ is the opening track of the album: open the gates and shows you the way to the Daemonium…
Ominous, somber, and foreboding… Daemonium Regni is the new solo-project from Micke Broberg of Unanimated: dark and epic black metal for fans of Root, Bathory, and Ancient Wisdom.
As the notes of the album’s opener crawl out of the speakers, slowly but steadily spreading and paving its way like black lava, the atmosphere thickens with unsettling dread and bleakness. The eight tracks which together constitute Daemonium Regni’s eponymous album feel like a liturgy charged with foul energy held in the service of darkness and perdition.
Proficient arrangements with different layers added on top of repetitive riffs and all instruments very competently performed by the band’s sole member turn Daemonium Regni into an intriguing listen. The vocals and the way the exclusively Latin lyrics are intonated play a major role in the album. Mixed to the foreground and in equal measure performed as demonic growls as well as in the form of somber chanting, the vocals make all the difference in this album.
Daemonium Regni not only marks Daemonium Regni’s first full-length; as a matter of fact, it is the band’s very first sign of existence. Mickael Broberg, its sole member, is anything but a newcomer, though. Mostly known as the singer of Unanimated, he has been involved in various bands and projects throughout the decades. Darkness Shall Rise are very proud to introduce his latest and possibly darkest band, Daemonium Regni. Let the demons enter!
