Outonais Saudações!

Aqui fica a review do site "Pagan Roots" ao último lançamento de Antiquus Scriptum, "Conclamatum Est"...

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"The cover is a medieval painting and represents the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385 between Portugal and Spain, where the Lusitanian troops with 300 soldiers, won to the Iberian army with hundreds of men. "Conclamatum Est" is Latin for "Was Given Voice to Sadness".
This album is divided in two parts or chapters, "Caput I - Tristitia, Absentia, Molestia" (Chapter I - Sadness, Absence, Suffering), that is from the track 1 to 9 - the part of the original themes and "Caput II - Tributum (Chapter II - Tribute)", track 10 to 16 - the part of the cover songs.

Conclusion: 3 / 5

Antiquus Scriptum has grown into a mature band from the Lusitanian underground and this is their best album yet. The music evolved into their own metal style with distinctive vocals and chanting. They play epic medieval metal with some folk elements and deal with historical events. The songs are long and diverse with strong compositions. There are a lot of synths, which is sometimes an overkill and sometimes even annoying, but most of the time they add a lot of bombastic elements and make the music so epic. There are also a few folk instruments on the album like tin whistle and Uilleann pipes. The drums, guitars and vocals are also much better than previous releases. The bonus songs are also good covers and a nice addition.
"Den Nordiske Sjel Lever I Meg" is an awesome viking metal song with catchy riffs, folky synths and acoustic guitar. "Remember Me as King" is another epic song with a lot going on.

I'm sure that Sacerdos Magus will release more epic albums in the future!

Mini-review do "The Thrash Metal Guide" à cover de Celtic Frost "Dethroned Emperor":

ANTIQUUS SCRIPTUM (PORTUGAL) - DETHRONED EMPEROR (CELTIC FROST COVER) 2010

"The single is only one song, made by just one man operating under the name Sacerdos Magus, and this is a question for the the thrash metal fans in their early teens: who is the band covered here? Quite a capable cover, if you ask me, with very well imitated Warrior-like vocals. Otherwise the music is a faithful rendition of this immortal hit with the guitar sound having the same low-tuned funereal quality."

Ainda se encontra disponível o primeiro longa duraçãode 2002 "Abi In Malam Pestem" (que inclui também a demo tape de 2000 "In Pulverem Reverteris"), reeditado recentemente em Pro CDR pela alemã Runenstein Records e vendido pelo módico valor de 10 aéreos. Aqui ficam imagens do lançamento:





Final de 2011:

Aproxima-se o Outono e este será generoso para este humilde projecto de Unorthodox Symphonic Black / Thrash Metal / Folk de Al-Mahadan.
Em Outubro / Novembro, sairá finalmente (após alguns / muitos percalços e mudanças de editora), o longa duração gravado em 2010 "Conclamatum Est", pela mexicana Azermedoth Records em formato profissional de 1000 cópias, (finalmente!!!)...



... E também em Outubro, o segundo assalto "Immortalis Factus" de 2008, reeditado em Pro CDR pela Runenstein Records com novo artwork.



2012:

Para o próximo ano, logo nos primeiros meses, Antiquus Scriptum espera ver reeditado o seu segundo trabalho de estúdio "Immortalis Factus" pela canadiana Suffering Jesus Productions, numa tiragem de 500 cópias profissionais e com um novo artwork exclusivo para este lançamento.



Sairá também, mais uma vez pela alemã Runenstein Records, o Best Of / Compilação "Symphonies Of Winter Through Eternal Forests", que é uma edição muito especial feita por esta editora a jeito de comemorar os 14 tenebrosos Invernos de existência deste meu teimoso projecto...



Tudo o que não anunciei, ou deu raia (como costume!), ou ainda está em banho Maria... Estes são os lançamentos confirmados e em fase de aperfeiçoamento...
... Obrigado àqueles, pau no cu dos outros!

[Beholder]

... Áh, esqueci-me de anunciar este... Está também confirmado para os primeiros meses do catastrófico anno de MMXII, o split entre Antiquus Scriptum + Thugnor, do meu amigo J.A. de Decayed. O split chamar-se-á "Enterrai Os Vivos E Cuidai Dos Mortos" e a parte de Thugnor, é nada mais nada menos que uma velha demo tape (com som impecável!!!) de MCMXCVI chamada "Hymns Of Death"; não sendo porem a tradicional versão que circula no mercado lançada em K7... É uma versão alterada que nunca saiu em edição alguma... Este trabalho será também ele lançado pela mexicana Azermedoth Records em tiragem de 1000 exemplares.

FUK-U!

[Aine]

Ora aqui esta uma das poucas boas bandas de black metal portuguesas...isto sim é bom.

[Beholder]

Presumo que te estejas a referir a Thugnor...
Sim, é bom. Tal como tudo o que mete J.A.!...

Ímpias Saudações!

Estou de passagem só para vos deixar com 3 novas reviews de cada álbum de originais deste meu humilde projecto de Al-Mahadan, feita pelo Black Metal Kaiser para o seu blog Finsternis, muito obrigado mano!!!

Abi In Malam Pestem:

"Abi In Malam Pestem was the first full-length of this portuguese black metal band called Antiquus Scriptum (as well as containing an extra work, a demo titled In Pulverem Reverteris), the style at the beginning of this release is quite interesting a quick opening by riffs sharp guitar a sequential change of riffs that in certain moments is influenced rhythms of thrash and melodic as well as elements of folk and symphonic music parts although, it can be determined the time of change and technical employees, due to their harsh sounds that turn you notice an excellent effect between guitar riffs and rhythm of the drums. However, the very noticeable and common style is the element folk that many times it transforms in a solid form of accompaniment without having to be atmospheric. Without forgetting the voice which focuses many times in the style of thrash metal and later a clean voice appears in a space as a strait where the voice goes epic way a voice of battle while the rapid and intense speed of the structure transforms the environment spanning the strait, features such is heard very frequently in bands of viking metal and folk. i.e. the clean vocals can be considered epic narration that gives the event, while the sharp riffs are battlefield where everything happens. A transverse line could be the voice of thrash and the thick voice which is common within this recording this form of serious voice vocals or narration that extends to the battle as the background giving a result between the strength of the guitar change voices and the speed of the drums, a crude ambience epic and ephemeral. Other characteristics in this recording are the acoustic structure, an epic sound of a metric rhythm that basically technical arpeggio; This band is basically black metal but the element that stands out is the folk, where clean vocals are the forces that come to life and give a kind of very particular nature, also not to forget the Symphonic arrangements giving recording consistent strength and a series of stages that feed the rest of the structure, without having to be too long but not too short the Symphonic arrangement would be the landscape, since it gives precise changes and a linear form of the recording. Another thing that should be mentioned is the art, the cover art, Baroque art whose theme more than anything is death, plague and themes that suggest the events during the middle ages, this detail is very important since it is part of the music as the visual form that might be the sound, contemplating the images while tapping the recording an impression where epic and historical concept transforms into a story well told through the voice and the structure of black metal."

Immortalis Factus:

"Immortalis Factus is the second full-length of Sacerdos Magus's recording of a concept rather than historical and pagan offers a great release. The opening epic class whose focus is due to the epic atmosphere similar to the work he began to delve bathory at the viking metal scene, fast-changing sounds, light percussion in the structure, symphonic arrangements these would be the unique characteristics of Antiquus Scriptum would be part of their future releases. The details of this edition are focused on providing the various sanctions, harmony, rhythm, metric, sound fairly accurate where the clean vocals and chorus are the elements they refine the structure, for the warrior, the sword and armor.
Whenever the narrative part of each structure and it must have an accompanying conditioned its development and have the same characteristics between narration and music, rhythm of black metal with elements of thrash metal and contain other elements such as giving symphonic music the essential power and epic, covering it with a strong sense of anger and courage. Instrumentation that characterizes interludes within the mystical essence gives the perspective to nature, letting the different tones catering to music, in these cases frequent use of vocals and acoustic guitar, a unique emblem Immortalis Factus.
The keyboard work is essential, giving proportionately a kind of essence and life while the speed of the drums determines the ferocity and the uniqueness of providing voice, resulting in a sound honest and consistent with the rest of the music."

Conclamatum Est:

"Conclamatum Est was the last work of Sacerdos Magus, Antiquus Scriptum's mastermind, black metal with symphonic elements, folk, and especially thrash metal. One of the very important recording things is due not just to music if not also the development of the design of the cover art, music, lyrics, Antiquus Scriptum has shown us through the narrative historical passages, battles, as well as containing a design for the cover, a medieval painting where stands for the battle of Aljubarrota. Openness is a narrative as the beginning of an event that could mark the course of the story, honor and death is the only thing you might expect, the time is approaching this moment, disturbing hours is reflected through the faces of the soldiers, the Carthaginians on the one hand while twice as many men willing to fight the Romans was present; This type of events inside Conclamatum Est would be interpreted with sharp passing a background guitar riffs as in his previous work he exhibits first black metal with elements of folk, clean vocals and great exposure of the drums, while that storytelling serial a voice of Sacerdos Magus located at the top of a colima, narrating what their eyes seeing other words, one can feel the right time, the emphasis of the battle, the strength, value, fear, courage, turning perceptions due to music, as in black/ambient bands metal give the sensation of a cold atmosphere, the harshness, in this case Conclamatum Est in addition to the epic passages, each single part gives a different state because of the changes of rhythm without being independent of the narrative. You can feel the time, different sensations. While some appear later interludes performed by the acoustic characteristics as the Iberian guitar technique with a chorus by the clean vocals following the plot and form part of the structure, giving a slight feeling of sadness and suffering, at certain moments but at the same time a sense of relief, skill and determination. A landscape that is never repetitive, rich sounds that feed structure offering events exponentially, revealing and freeing sensations. The closure is the epilogue of history, characterized by being short but still leaving a very strong scent that at the beginning of this recording, and until the end it never of lost coherence and the fluidity of the music. Conclamatum Est furthermore divided in two part, the part of the story Caput I - Tristitia, Absentia, Molestia, discomfort and the part of the tribute Caput II – Tributum is to celtic frost, manowar, venom covers to classic in metal, this would be the extra not as part of the story but if part music, part of some influences."
