Fans can thoroughly enjoy the expected raw sound. It features SEX MESSIAH, who are in excellent form with a string of overseas performances, EVIL, making a long-awaited appearance with new songs that might shed light on the true meaning behind their period of inactivity, and IMMORTAL DEATH, whose past releases always quickly become hard to obtain. All three bands are currently at a pivotal moment in their respective careers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Ryo, Masaharu and Moenos - Intro\u003cbr\u003e2.

Moenos, Ryo and Masaharu - Outro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSEX MESSIAH undertook a US mini-tour in April in conjunction with their appearance at NWN Fest 6.66 in Texas, USA, and are also slated to participate in Steelfest XI in Finland in May. EVIL has remained silent since the release of their 2nd album. IMMORTAL DEATH's various demos have consistently sold out soon after release. I listen to this 3-way split and can't help but wonder if Moenos chose to release it during such a busy time because she feels she is finally approaching what she truly wanted to do in her career as a black metal musician, and she has a strong desire not to suppress that creative urge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, this split not only provides tracks from each band but also includes a collaborative track by Moenos and EVIL. Furthermore, the layout by 072 of IMMORTAL DEATH, who is not afraid to tread on taboo subjects, aligns with the fundamental principles of black metal. To add my own feelings, all three bands participating here exude a reliability that doesn't stem from a petty pride in being Japanese metal\/extreme music artists, or such trivial things as an identity. EVIL's lyrics are in Japanese, and I know that Moenos respects so-called \"Japanoise\" artists. However, due to a slight misinterpretation of the fact that Japanese underground music enthuses foreign enthusiasts, and having continued on that path for many years, the counter-cultural ideal of \"No More Censorship\" loudly proclaimed by the punk bands and avant-garde music pioneers we were passionate about in the 80s has been completely undermined by the spread of imported compliance, leading to a decline in the domestic scene. Moenos's recent active engagement in overseas activities mirrors the attitude of Japanese underground heavy metal musicians in the 90s who, seeing the futility of activities in Japan, gained enthusiastic followers in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this 3-Way Split, each band's new songs were provided with the condition that line recording was prohibited, meaning they were recorded in a single take. Coincidentally, I have been greatly captivated by the live recordings of all three of these artists, and I have particularly advocated for EVIL and IMMORTAL DEATH's live recordings as their best works. The new songs from EVIL, breaking their silence, form a black metal suite with a hint of hard rock, which is sure to spark debate among fans. IMMORTAL DEATH also proves that the destructive power they showed on the \"Live Nekromance\" TAPE was no magic trick. And SEX MESSIAH, who have established pure, stateless, pure-fucking-Armageddon black metal with the authentic South American beats pounded out by Abaddrums \"SEXXX\" Grinder, also masterfully delivered their black metal noise ritual at the CD release commemorative live at Earthdom on April 22nd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an unprecedented big project also announced, and the attention of underground extreme music enthusiasts from around the world focused on Osaka, Japan, I am convinced that Moenos's total production of this 3-Way Split album holds great significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(RECORD BOY Ryo Okura)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NWN!Productions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45439384485972,"sku":null,"price":3900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/8931\/4388\/files\/IMG_5502_2.heic?v=1775878158","url":"https:\/\/sexus-mortem.com\/en\/products\/sex-messiah-evil-immortal-death-the-pact-of-sex-evil-and-death-lp","provider":"SEXUS-MORTEM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
