Inconcessus Lux Lucis hail from Manchester, U.K. and were formed by Malphas in 2005 under the moniker of Whorethorn. Malphas decided to change the moniker into the current one in 2009, after having released a first (mini) album (Under The Veil Of Darkness, via Salute Records), a couple of demos and splits as Whorethorn (especially via their own label Grim Being). At that time, Inconcessus Lux Lucis were joined by session bass player Baal, who became a permanent member shortly after. A first album (I – The Awakening Of He With The Strange Shadow) was recorded, but never officially released (don’t ask me why, ‘cause I have no idea). In early 2012, they joined Russia’s Nomos Dei’s roster, and the Severed From Sephiroth-EP was released in May that very same year. The very same label will take care as well of the release by the new full length (and the first one that will be released officially, since the former one never saw the light…), entitled Disintegration: Psalms Of Veneration For The Nefarious Elite, which lasts for fifty seven minutes.
With Disintegration: Psalms Of Veneration For The Nefarious Elite, Inconcessus Lux Lucis bring a rather traditional yet, at the same time, pretty complex and technical form of (timeless) Black Metal with lots of experimental elements (such as: the breaks and tempo-changes, industrialised riffing, or high-tech leads). But above all, and that’s the core of the story, they introduce a very stripped-off, essential and basic approach on Aural Evil, without falling into extremes, yet without turning predictable either. The band makes use of elements from related genres as well, such as Death and Heavy Metal, and the use of Hammond organ, for example, isn’t but an unusual yet appropriate detail. The whole is melodic and highly rhythmic, and maybe, just maybe, little too well-balanced, too artificial.
