Barcode: 0641871744503




Hekatomb is the manifestation of MZ. 412’s monumental performance @ Cold Spring’s 21st Anniversary at The Garage, London, March 2011. The fortuitous congregation on that curse’d evening bore witness to the band’s first EVER complete live line-up: Nordvargr, Drakh, and Ulvtharm. Powerful, pounding Industrial, desolate drones, dense electronics, grim nefarious rituals, reigned over by the malevolent intonations of Nordvargr. This satanic, blackened ritual from the creators of Black Industrial will evolve from memory, to history, and into legend. "Hekatomb" features different versions and interpretations of MZ. 412 material spanning 23 years. Presented in a 6-panel digipak featuring images from the ceremony.

Act I-XIV

Reviews:

Best Albums Of 2015: Heathen Harvest

"Ultimately, there is no argument to be had against Hekatomb as a triumph; the fifty-three minutes fly past, remaining engaging and never outstaying their welcome, nor do the tracks seem bolted together or arbitrary, instead flowing seamlessly and creating a coherent, comprehensive whole. Thoroughly recommended for Satan Jugend everywhere." (Heathen Harvest - 10/10)

"This album reflects the importance of a musical thinking behind the performance and should be listen mostly by the project releasing a bunch of album per year using the same ideas. After all those years, they remain almost essentials." (Chain D.L.K. - 5/5)

“Hekatomb” documenta l’esibizione di MZ.412 per i ventun anni di Cold Spring celebrati al londinese The Garage nel 2011, con formazione a quattro, come non avveniva da vent’anni, capitanata naturalmente da Nordvargr. I brani, decapitati del loro titolo originario e ribattezzati univocamente Act, percorrono l’intera parabola del progetto, inaugurata da “Malfeitor” nell’89, tra la solennità di II, la poderosa dark ambient di III e X, la cruda power electronics di V e IX, scandite da palpiti percussivi, i malefici interventi vocali di VI, le smodate urla circondate da metalliche scudisciate noise di VII, la scarna marzialità di VIII, l’azzerante corrente noise di XII, la trionfale, magniloquente, chiusura di XIV" (Blow Up)
