OPERA IX / BLACK OATH (It) – split LP (Marbled vinyl)

Originally conceived as a thematical split Lp covering the old European festive day of Samhain, the album suffered a minor delay because of Covid-related matters. And floods in the factory. And a good old chunk of general misfortune. OPERA IX return with one new, unreleased track, called “Necromantical Sacraments” and a reworking of “The Call of the Wood” off their 1994 debut Lp. Same pattern is followed by BLACK OATH, strongly delivering a massive “Samhain” and a re-recording of “My Death” Once again IRON TYRANT is active in releasing strong material from Italian artists, always delving deeper into our own tradition of occult metal.
