Ophitas it's the new album of CONSOLAMENTUM

  We are very proud to announce the fourth album of the Mexican Heavy doom band Consolamentum, titled "Ophitas" that will be released on October 25th for #defoxrecords #invinciblerecords The mastermind Martin Martinez aka @Martin Xipe Totec (Xipe Totec Oficial , Yatrogeny, Miquian) gives us a journey that challenges conventional rock, eleven songs that sound like a perfect mix of Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Cathedral, Altar Of Oblivion, with tribal, transcendental sounds and references to pre-Hispanic culture, a one of a kind band, extraordinary, fascinating, surprising! Doom Stoner Metal based on ancient Gnostic heresies; and on this occasion, overtones of Luciferianism. The mysterious sound that comes from the transverse flute; the organ, the bells and the ecclesiastical choirs in Latin can be fused with various voice styles. Maybe you want to put on your “doomer hood” and listen to the grief… - Martin Martinez: Guitars, Drums, Transverse flute, Vocals, organ, piano, Mix at
