After six full-length albums, Norwegian blackmetallers Crest of Darkness will be back with an EP, Evil Messiah, due to be released on February 23 2015 on My Kingdom Music both as digipack and as vinyl. The EP also contains a cover of Alice Cooper’s classic “Sick Things”, a perfect choice for its malignant and sinister atmosphere.
Tracklist:
1. Evil Messiah
2. Armageddon
3. Abandoned by God
4. Sick Things (Alice Cooper cover)
Evil Messiah will also see the debut in the line-up of the new drummer Bernhard, from the alternative / gothic rock band Pale Forest, together with the leader, bassist and singer of the band Ingar Amlien (Roquefire, Conception, Amlien's Inferno) and guitarist Rebo.
The EP was mixed and partly recorded at MLP Studios and partly at the Rebo’s studio in Gjøvik and was mastered in the outskirts of Salerno, Italy, at the Sonic Temple Studio by Fabio Calluori. The album artwork was made by Morten Hansen.
The band has recently released a rehearsal video filmed during the recording of Evil Messiah, and a lyric video of Alice Cooper cover “Sick Things”; both are available below.
