To Take Up The Cross

by Latitude Egress

supported by

Borndead The production, riffs, vocals and the Urfaust-ian atmosphere on this record is stunning. Hopefully they´ll be a 2nd masterpiece in the near future. Favorite track: To take up the cross when through it you can win a kingdom.

Zevul Rev 'To Take Up The Cross' is an atmospheric blend between doom and black metal. I am a big fan of the vocal style. The fact that Latitude Egress is a single-man band makes this album even more impressive! Favorite track: To take up the cross when through it you can win a kingdom.

about

ART OF PROPAGANDA is proud to present the debut album of LATITUDE EGRESS, To Take Up the Cross. A towering work of staggering magnitude, LATITUDE EGRESS' To Take Up the Cross breathes new life into the often-stagnant body of doom metal. Clean-vocalled doom commingles with funeral doom, shape-shifting along the way while never settling too safely within one or the other, and wholly avoiding any retrograde stoner/sludge elements. Befitting of its title, To Take Up the Cross is imbued with massive amounts of melody, but a rainy 'n' grainy sort that suitably lends a sinister air to proceedings; its march is almost monastic, solemn and sworn to solitude.

Although the band's debut, LATITUDE EGRESS is no newcomer. The album was originally meant to be released by Licht Erlischt, the band of mainman Nerrath who released two albums under that banner before changing monikers to LATITUDE EGRESS; the project, however, had been renamed, partially in order to dissociate itself from contemporary DSBM trends. What results is a full-length sensory experience that illuminates the darkest corners of the mind and flushes out the rare and radiant spirit of mental unsteadiness being rooted in loss, love, longing, and fear, yet is NOT suited for those looking for self-pitying musicianship or suicide as a romantic concept. Finished off by front-cover artwork bespeaking its contained themes, To Take Up the Cross will soon be spoken of as a Year Zero event in doom, and a total paradigm-shifter.

Mohngang

Easily one of the most powerful Pagan Black metal albums unleashed into the world. The musicianship is phenomenal, the vocal performance is savage, and the atmosphere is a somber triumph. After my first play through I had to listen to it again. Horn has quickly become one of my favourite bands that I will champion at any time. battleslain

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski

supported by 12 fans who also own “To Take Up The Cross”

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert

Devoid of Light
by UADA

supported by 11 fans who also own “To Take Up The Cross”

Very late to the party, but for several years I've found melodic black metal all too similar and all albums sounding like Dissection, etc... HOWEVER, not only I am back into it but UADA is still a layer of complexity above the main baseline and this is an old album worth having, that's a basic milestone in UADA's discography and I felt it needed to be part of my BC collection. sachavonkarl74
