{"product_id":"801056807014","title":"BLACK ROYAL SPIRITISM (GOLD VINYL) | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRUÏM was formed in 2020 by the Norwegian born, Grammy award winning guitarist Blasphemer (Rune Eriksen), known from acts such as Vltimas \u0026amp; Mayhem. Joining Blasphemer on drums is French born drummer César Vesvre (Agressor, Thagirion). Driven by a firm desire to revisit the style of music he has dedicated himself to \u0026amp; been associated with since the mid 90 ´s \u0026amp; inspired by the rediscovery of a long lost tape of old, unused Mayhem-era riffs from 98\/99, the concept of starting a new project based around these ideas manifested itself quickly. Soon, a new vision was born for an album immersed in Brazilian witchcraft \u0026amp; the left-hand path of the Umbanda tradition - a practice in which Blasphemer himself is taught in - to deliver a new blackened opus in the vein Blasphemer has been synonymous with since his inception into Mayhem back in 1994 (until 2007). 'Black Royal Spiritism - I. O Sino da Igreja' is RUÏM's debut studio album. It presents a glimpse of something new, unique, visionary \u0026amp; highly eclectic. This album marks the beginning of a concept set to span a trilogy of releases exploring \u0026amp; incorporating a deeply personal expression of Blasphemer's own beliefs regarding the greater spirits of the left-hand path. A pitch-black offering, 'Black Royal Spiritism' is steeped in ominous \u0026amp; eerie, unnerving darkness. Each track is meticulously woven with a sinister undercurrent, given flesh by Blasphemer's highly distinctive brutal riffing style, with atmospheric, ambient \u0026amp; clean passage interludes featuring among the chaos. Vocals on 'Black Royal Spiritism - I. O Sino da Igreja' are also handled by Blasphemer himself, sung in a mix of English, Portuguese \u0026amp; Norwegian, with lyrical themes rooted in a celebration \u0026amp; dedication to the lore \u0026amp; rituals of linha da esquerda. Proscriptor McGovern from 'Absu' also makes a guest appearance on a savage re-recording of the Mayhem classic 'Fall Of Seraphs' bringing fresh life to the track, which Blasphemer wrote back in 1995 \u0026amp; which originally featured on the 'Wolf's Lair Abyss' EP. This edition of the album is presented on limited edition gold vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RUIM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46062490845429,"sku":"801056807014","price":41.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/01_883e07ca-bd7e-4d62-8edf-661e7203abc4.jpg?v=1731291894","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/801056807014","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
