Riffcoven Post “Morte Hiboriana” Live-in-Studio Video

riffcoven

Indeed, they’ve got riffs by the coven-full. Brazilian three-piece Riffcoven have offered up two live recordings in the last nearly-two years, and neither one is mincing words in stating the band’s purpose. They’re both called Raw. And yes, they both hit that mark to be sure. Eguchi Estúdio, where the video below for “Morte Hiboriana” was filmed, was the site of the first Raw outing, and sure enough, the same song was featured on that as well (it was on both), and as they note, it appeared on their 2018 debut, Crown of Darkness as well. The version here would seem to be new, from a 2021 live session.

Does that mean there’s another Raw collection coming, a second one from Eguchi Estúdio? I genuinely have no idea. Maybe? What’s clear though in listening to Raw I – Live at Eguchi Estúdio and Raw II – Live at Aurora Studio 2019 is that rawness works for Riffcoven. I won’t claim to know the circumstances under which they tracked Crown of Darkness or the subsequent 2019 EP, Cursed — one wouldn’t exactly call either lush in terms of production — but for a band who are clearly comfortable showing up to a place, plugging in and hitting it, doing something similar for a next ‘proper’ album might be something to think about. Just putting it out there. Not trying to tell anyone their business.

“Morte Hiboriana” follows “Feiticeiros do Riff,” which opened Cursed, as the second video to emerge from this apparent series, so it could well be they’re working their way up to Raw III. Either way, the lesson here is that plundering doom with a hard-hitting traditionalist edge ensues, and delivered barebones it acquits the band well. If you need more convincing than that, I can’t imagine why.

Riffcoven, “Morte Hiboriana” Live Session 2021

In the last Friday (13) the brazilian heavy/doom metal band Riffcoven presented their new recorded session. After the release of the mighty “Feiticeiros do Riff” through Sesc Jundiaí medias the band present now a track recorded in the same session, and the chosen if “Morte Hiboriana”. The music is originally present in their 2018 monolithic album “Crown of Darkness”, based in a mix of stoner metal, doom and heavy metal talking about the hyborian theme.

As say the band “Morte Hiboriana” comes from their 2018 debut album “Crown of Darkness” and is a song that crush enemies and ears with evil monolithic fuzz tones following the king Conan armies in a battle against a ancient dark sorcerer.
