Bretus to Release Aion Tetra on Ordo MCM; “Cosmic Crow” Video Posted

bretus

Signing to Ordo MCM makes Italian doomers Bretus kin to a wide variety of darker and extreme metalurgists, from Apshyx to Thangorodrim. The Catanzaro four-piece released their last album, …From the Twilight Zone (review here), which was something of a departure from their prior Lovecraftian themes, in early 2017, and they’ll make their debut on the new label with their fourth album overall, Aion Tetra, this Fall. No exact date has yet been given for the release. Circa-Halloween would make sense, of course, but I haven’t heard anything.

The last album was notable for pulling away from the band’s prior sludge-infused ways, particularly in a shift moving from periodically screamed to exclusively clean vocals. Bretus had been plenty doomed before, of course, but it was a turn that really brought that out in their sound. As to how Aion Tetra will answer that development, I don’t yet know, since I haven’t heard it. But Bretus are giving an initial sampling in the video you can see below for “Cosmic Crow” from the record, and that’s at least something to go on until the rest of the thing shows up later this year.

The video takes footage from old horror movies and live performance clips and brings them together — I’d swear I caught a shot of Murnau’s Nosferatu in there — and sure enough fits the mood of the song effectively.
