The highly anticipated debut album of cult Chilean black metal band Communion. For nearly a decade they have been cultivating a mystique and work ethic like no other. Staunchly DIY and largely rejecting the gross machinations of the European metal industry, they have built up a sparse yet vast body of short works. Each Communion release is its own special world, ranging the rich history of South American metal, from its blackest, most sulfurous depths to its most traditional, headbanging heights. Recorded with an expanded four-piece lineup, "At The Announcement" is the grand culmination of the classic Communion archetype firmly established during the EP / demo era. This is Witching Metal in its rawest and wildest state.
