Viaticum flows from the Sacred Spaciousness beyond duality, enveloping its Silent Nature with the voice of ancient songs ceremonial, dungeon synth atmospheres and sulfur riffs engraved on arcane motifs metallic. Combining nuances that range from Mercyful Fate to Dissection ("An Incautious Exhumation Of What Lies Beneath Forgotten Ground") and from Dead Can Dance ("In Your Multitude") to Arvo Pärt ("In My Multitude"), the album illuminates an experience involving entity and cathartic path towards i deeper hidden fields of who we truly are. DARKEND is the band led by Animae (also guest singer for GAAHL'S WYRD at various European festivals and venues). After a rather ordinary metal based start extreme orchestral, DARKEND have developed an artistic style rather peculiar by fusing black metal patterns, ritual settings, dark classic metal riffs and solos in the wake of Mercy ful Fate/Angel Witch and a ritualistic and hypnotic atmosphere e.g explicitly created to generate a profound sonic transcendence and spiritual.
