Speaking extensively about the EP, the band tells us, “A few years back Tormentum (guitar) initially sparked the fire that has just now begun to blaze under the name of ANCIENT TORMENT. The idea was to create genuine, no bullshit, gimmick-free black metal that harnessed the magic and diabolical powers of the past, whilst forging ahead full speed without apology or hesitation. Taking musical influence mainly from the more raw, less fancy, straightforward approach of the second wave with a blatant worship of the old guard and a truely heavy metal “Fuck You” mindset. Ideas were formed and carefully crafted by Tormentum, who began recruiting like minded musicians in order to fully and properly realize his vision. Culled from such bands as WITCH KING, SANGUINE MOON, CEMETERY LIGHTS, and BOG OF THE INFIDEL; old acquaintances and dedicated practitioners of the black arts came together and the Beast was called forth.

Zealot came onboard the project on the drums. Bringing furious and relentless speed, style, and exquisite taste. Pounding the riffs into formation and structure. The Corpse adds a booming and full foundation on the bass guitar, with Taíno Sangre filling out the cacophony on second guitar. Lastly, Satanist was asked to provide his vehement and hateful voice and Satan-fueled lyrics. The result was more powerful and effective than the band had imagined and The Devil was pleased indeed. Rehearsals and a handful of live ceremonies followed as the sound and style was sharpened into a deadly weapon of all things foul and splendid. Once the band was fully confident with the songs, Lykos (of MALACATH) was summoned from the mountains of New Hampshire to record the debut EP. Satan’s Legacy Come Flesh was recorded over the course of two days filled with diabolical energies and divine intoxication. Once again, the results supassed expectations. The recording was then sent of to Joshua Freemon of Hellgoat for mastering. Meanwhile, the concept for the cover artwork was formed by the band and realized by Ov Exvn Infërnvz, whom had previously created ANCIENT TORMENT‘s logo. In league with Eternal Death Records, the results of these labors of perversion and glorious sin will be released on cassette on May 10th. Four songs in about 30 minutes of pure Satanic Black Fucking Heavy Metal. Violent and uncompromising. Blasphemous Celebration and Sexual Indulgence. Under the Influence and Over the Top, ANCIENT TORMENT have only just begun to spread the plague. Satan Walks Freely Here.”

Satan’s Legacy Come Flesh is set for release May 10th via Eternal Death. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
