Reactivated Norwegian black metal outfit MYSTICUM are streaming “LSD,” a song from their new album, Planet Satan, which is due October 27 via Peaceville Records.
A work of intense and otherworldly black metal power injected with MYSTICUM ‘s strong cosmic, satanic and psychedelic overtones, Planet Satan welcomes MYSTICUM to the new millennium with full and unrelenting force, whilst retaining the core elements which made the Norwegian band a pioneering legend of industrial black metal. Both infernal and nihilistic, as well as apocalyptic in its scope and execution, Planet Satan is a new milestone for the genre in its sublime, chaotic ferocity. Primitive minor-chord riff patterns and tortured vocals mixed with the band’s manic and often unconventional programmed drum beats makes this an eerily hypnotic work of the darkest order.
Planet Satan was recorded and mixed at Fias Co. Studios with producer Sverre Dæhli and mastered by Tom Kvålsvoll at Strype Audio in Oslo.
