Twenty long years ago in 2003 VULTURE LORD gifted us with their tremendous debut album "Profane Prayer", while still even before that the band started back in 1997 offering up a couple demos and split releases. Now they have returned to reclaim their rightful throne amongst the blackened hordes with their recent and absolutely fantastic second full length album "Desecration Rite". Released 2021 in Europe by ODIUM RECORDS while the US version is being pressed in conspiracy by DARK HORIZON RECORDS late 2023. VULTURE LORD has existed in one form or another for more than thirty years, and "Desecration Rite" is a celebration as well as a monument of idolatry for underground black metal music worshippers and Norwegian Black Metal followers alike! We must mention the fact that this album was composed by Nefas of URGEHAL before his untimely death, and the recording of this album was completed by his talented comrades from such bands as URGEHAL, CARPATHIAN FOREST, BEASTCRAFT, ENDEZZMA, and SHINING! "Desecration Rite" is old school devotion to the black / death / thrash metal spirit of the 90s as well as in homage to their fallen comrade Nefas. "Desecration Rite" offers us a fitting tribute which uses the last song writing material of Trondr Nefas, who departed this world of shit in 2012.
Some including the band consider VULTURE LORD as Death Metal to which we would agree that there are some overwhelming parallels, similarities, and atmospheres. However, we also believe VULTURE LORD are keeping true to the ice-cold spirit of grimness and hate that saturates within true black metal, as well as the thrash styled fast-riffing dominance presented on this monumental album. VULTURE LORD actually show many traditional hallmarks of all the mentioned sub-genres at their finest delivering a focused incendiary breakneck paced album that will captivate the most ardent underground fan from start to finish. An unrelenting ice-cold fist banging demonic thrill ride of an album that DOES NOT disappoint! Death Metal fanatics, black metal purists and old school thrashers will be mesmerized listen after listen to the excellence that lies within "Desecration Rite". Endless memorable riffs and evil atmospheres flowing with nostalgic fury from an overfilled poisoned chalice of grim fucking metal! The title "Desecration Rite" absolutely conveys the concept and reality of this fierce and fiery offering, and VULTURE LORD have truly conjured a must have instant classic album!
