GODKILLER - The End Of The World (Remastered) - CD [OCT 18]

CD (Jewel case)- The 1998 debut full-length album of dark metallic extremity from Monaco's Godkiller. First back on CD since its original 1998 release, including booklet with full lyrics & with the tracks remastered by Duke himself. 

Formed in 1993 & hailing from Monaco, Godkiller was the vision of multi-instrumentalist & sole founding member, Duke Satanael, who between 1996 & 2000 released an EP & 2 studio albums under the Godkiller name, commencing with the black metal cult classic debut 'The Rebirth Of The Middle Ages'.

Though initially more a death metal inspired act in the formative years, Godkiller quickly developed into a project fully engulfed in the spirit of 1990's black metal, bringing to mind acts like Emperor & Satyricon for the implementation of such strong atmospherics, though on later releases Godkiller incorporated more industrial & electronic elements into the compositions as part of its creative evolution.

'The End Of The World' was launched in 1998 following a great reception to 'The Rebirth Of The Middle Ages' & though the dark, often philosophical themes & strong atmospherics remained, the album already marked a clear progression in the songwriting department, with effective, often hook-laden tracks & more immediate riffing permeating the release, amid the implementation of a number of more experimental ideas helping to assert the overall individuality of the opus.

The edition of 'The End Of The World' is presented on the CD format for the first time since its original 1998 release, including booklet with full lyrics & with the tracks remastered by Duke himself.
