“Ancient Hellenic Black Metal since 1993“ schreiben MEDIEVAL DEMON als Selbstbeschreibung. Jetzt hat die Band die fünfte Scheibe “All Powers of Darkness“ für den 22. August angekündigt und davon die Nummer `Fullmoon Over the Temple of Belial` ausgekoppelt.
Drummer & Keyboarder Lord Apollyon schreibt zum Album:
„In the midst of modernization, we go against – to hold onto the traditions of black metal and the spirit of our cult, which is a spiritual shield for our entire existence, the evil flame that burns into our black souls which is celebrated through every song we create that evolves from personal interpretations and ancient hymns that emphasize to invocations, ceremonies, practices, and principles of the Black Arts. When I compose, I use inversions of a tritone, ‚the Devil’s notes,‘ that I produce by the same key, an old technique I admire. Then, each note of the music takes a certain direction, as a set of rituals which summon demons – in order to take versions. One of those versions, that one, that can be heard in full isolation, together with the cold winds in the night forest under the fullmoon…well, that one is what I call a song. I was heavily inspired once again by the practice of timpani that originates from ancient times, which were used in rituals, so it is beyond my powers to not use timpani parts the most often in my compositions, as I am a passionate ritualist. And once again, artwork is made by the unique artist and unholy brother Mark Riddick!“
