Epistolae Obscurorum Virorum

RATTENFNGER - 'Epistolae Obscurorum Virorum' (CD) Rattenfnger is a new project from the musicians behind cult acts like Drudkh, Old Silver Key, Blood of Kingu, Dark Ages and more, but Rattenfnger is a different beast entirely. The debut album, entitled "Epistolae Obscurorum Virorum", is a masterpiece of old-school death metal. Rattenfnger's sound is pitch black and bone crushingly brutal. It is Death Metal in its original form - and it is devastating. Inevitably there will be nuances from the members other projects, and comparisons can also be made with bands such as Celtic Frost, early Darkthrone, Asphyx, Winter, Bolt Thrower and Nihilist amongst others, but Rattenfnger, is the epitome of old-school death metal and the album has its own, very distinctive, sound. The name Rattenfnger is taken from the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin (Rattenfnger von Hameln), who was hired by the townsfolk of Hameln, Germany, to rid the town of the rats that had overrun it. Unfortunately he is deceived and cheated of his payment, and he exacts a dreadful revenge on the citizens. The lyrics are in Latin, written in style of medieval poets, thinkers and troubadours/minstrels. 1. Coelo Affixus Sed Terris Omnibus Sparsus - intro 2. Grimorium Verum 3. Victa Lacet Virtus 4.
