Satanic Warmaster (Finland) / Archgoat (Finland): “Lux Satanae (Thirteen Hymns of Finnish Devil Worship)”

​Lux Satanae (Thirteen Hymns of Finnish Devil Worship) is a special split album between two of Finnish black metal's longest-running and most potent cults. Indeed encompassing 13 hymns, Lux Satanae brings together Satanic Warmaster and Archgoat for the first time ever, with both bands offering exclusive material here, with old classics by both revisited and re-recorded with their respective current lineups. With both bands coming off career high-points - Fimbulwinter and The Apocalyptic Triumphator, respectively - Satanic Warmaster and Archgoat here prove why they're not only among the most celebrated bands in Finnish black metal, but international black metal in general. On Lux Satanae, Satanic Warmaster recast their past in the cleaner, more concertedly epic path laid out by Fimbulwinter, while Archgoat reignite the same ghastly power they trademarked in the early '90s. No mosh, no core, no lies: Lux Satanae (Thirteen Hymns of Finnish Devil Worship) does exactly what it says on the tin!
