BIOGRAPHY
Anonymity is a useful tool to promote your music. By removing faces, names, and egos from a project, you allow the music to communicate your message, and if performed properly, it can elevate your art to levels only dreamed of. Shrine of Insanabilis does not believe in identities, Bandcamp pages (which there is one, but it’s sparse with no tracks at the time of writing this here review), Encyclopaedia Metallum entries, or even locations, and here I am with their debut album, Disciples of the Void. So what, you may ask, is keeping me from plunging into the depths of Google to hunt down some images of magically horned stallions?
I couldn’t find much information about the band. I don’t know where they belong or how many members (attached pictures in the digital copy shows they are 4 in number, but in some of their videos in YouTube I have found 5 members). Yes, it’s the music that matters most, then again you need some basic information to do a feature.
Always the vanguard of purist-yet-boundless black metal, W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the debut album of SHRINE OF INSANABILIS, Disciples of the Void. Although literally emerging from nothingness earlier this year, SHRINE OF INSANABILIS are no mere acolytes, instead evincing a master's knowledge across their debut album. Never more aptly titled, Disciples of the Void comprises six testimonies to the fiery aspiration for enlightenment through inconceivable nothingness. These testimonies are also manifested into this world by their corresponding sigils.
SHRINE OF INSANABILIS vividly portray these visions through a heaving mass of obsidian black metal, forever rising and falling, surging and merging, offering glimpses of glory and valleys of despair in equal measure. Like most W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS, Disciples of the Void is impeccably recorded - bold, full-bodied, even Technicolor - with mixing & mastering done by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, and finished off with David Glomba (Teitanarts) cover art truly deserving of its malefic contents. Blinding darkness, unbearable silence, and incureable madness, all displayed for everyone to experience: this is a raging beginning on a path through the Void.(NTB).
