Akem Manah - Demons Of The Sabbat
Label: Possession Productions
Release date: 11.01.16
In the summer of 2014 an incredible album of colossal, arcane, necrotic doom metal was self released by Akem Manah. It emerged from their tomb-like studio with little to no fanfare and tragically was heard by precious few. That album was Demons Of The Sabbat and its story could have ended there. However, fortune brought this monstrous album to the doors of
Possession Productions who immediately recognised its unique character and combination of power and atmosphere second to none. They immediately determined that the metal world should have a proper opportunity to hear what Akem Manah had created, so here you have the reanimated, second coming of the Demons Of The Sabbat...
Featuring ex-
White Zombie drummer Ivan De Prume and ex-
NILE bassist Chris Lollis, supporting guitarist/vocalist and founder member Dead Nedry, Demons Of The Sabbat blends the heaviest of doom with the most diabolical of death and adds a sorcerous, haunted, crypt dwelling atmosphere. Theres nothing out there that captures quite the same sense of ancient terror as Akem Manah.
The album is available to buy in superb digi-pack format and high quality download directly from Possession Productions
Bandcamp page.
Thank the dark gods, thank Possession Productions and then grasp this second chance to discover the terrifying magic and majesty of AKEM MANAHs Demons Of The Sabbat.
