In this era of hyper-connection and instant gratification, the few artists who operate methodically, deliberately, and with painstaking attention to detail are those most likely to produce meritorious and enduring work. Though sparse, Wrathprayer?s output over the last 15 years has been among the most consistently impressive. Formed in 2006, the duo of guitarist and vocalist God of Torment and drummer Pestifer Fides released their demo in 2009 and, three years later, their debut full-length, The Sun of Moloch. After lying dormant for a decade, Wrathprayer now reemerge with a malevolent masterpiece entitled Enkoimeterion or the Enlivening of the Spiritual Heirs to Amalek, which finds the band advancing further toward the dark horizon of their sound. Written in 2019-2020 and recorded live in the studio two years later, Enkoimeterion, their second full-length release, showcases masterful composition and enhanced sound quality, far surpassing the band?s earlier work.Those inclined can pore over the body of lyrics presented here, untangling and deciphering the various themes, searching for the locus of meaning within. The music is likewise evocative and complex. The six new tracks presented here coalesce into something greater, a composite whole that feels complete and expertly composed?an album that stands out amid the uninspired detritus produced in the last decade. As with Wrathprayer?s debut album, Enkoimeterion bears the imprimatur of one of the most visionary occult artists of the last century, Denis Forkas, whose cover art provides the final element, connecting the tripartite presentation of idea, imagery, and sound.
