Matten With that cover art and the name Nightmarecatcher, I had high expectations when I pressed play. Not disappointed in the slightest. A one-of-a-kind experience of appropriately nightmarish trippy metal, with a lot of depth. Favorite track: I: The Origin and End of All: Pain of the Fallen.

MadeOvFlesh This is one Insanely intense album! Sometimes too intense for feeble minds to maintain sanity. Occult Metal, the darker, psychotic & terrifying the better, is my thang but this perplexes me as much as it, yes I'll say it, horrifies me.
Thank you both for the insanity Favorite track: II: Ceremony of Decomposition of Bodies.

bcb723 A cosmic exploration of the mind, "Nightmarecatcher" took me off guard. A few things of note. First, though it is broken into 3 tracks - this is just one completely off-the rails nearly hour-long song. Second, this album is so dense and multi-layered that it honestly takes several listens for things to start to make sense. Sonically overwhelming and conceptually impressive. P.S. - great artwork, obviously... Favorite track: III: In the Vomb of the Chaos, Source of Life Energy.

ekkkva Aevangelist musical experimentation is something quite unique. All these layers of improvised creations, on top of each other’s, requires a lot of concentration from the listener. You need to let the project sink into you. But ultimately; you’ll be rewarded for that.

GalaxyBeyond This is what you would expect from Matron Thorn ambient dismal chilling art all wrapped up into one.
The audible bass is great to hear on an Aevangelist release creates a layer that was never there.

It puts you in a stuck mood where you have no idea whats going on or where you are at like a thoughtless loss of time... Favorite track: III: In the Vomb of the Chaos, Source of Life Energy.

about

HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present the rebirth of ÆVANGELIST, Blessed Be the Relic of Wicked Slumber: Nightmarecatcher, on CD and digital formats.

Now residing in Finland, ÆVANGELIST has been in existence since 2010 and was created/authored by Matron Thorn. Joining Thorn on Blessed Be the Relic of Wicked Slumber: Nightmarecatcher is ex-Anorexia Nervosa vocalist Stéphane Gerbaud. As such, this is to be considered the official lineup of the true ÆVANGELIST.

Ever restless, Blessed Be the Relic of Wicked Slumber: Nightmarecatcher sees Matron Thorn exploring an exquisitely lurking dread, patiently simmering his psychedelic death metal delirium to a hallucinogenic boil, bringing forth a miasmic meltdown. Daunting and daring to say the very least, Nightmarecatcher is one epic 53-minute composition comprising three equally epic chapters, all threaded together with unsettling ease. Also uniquely, the album is ÆVANGELIST's first proper live studio recording, created entirely in the recording space of Oranssi Pazuzu and drums recorded in the recording space of Barathrum & Sielunvihollinen. Not for nothing is the album graced with malevolent & mesmerizing artwork courtesy of the masterful Jef Whitehead.

Form meeting content, then, Blessed Be the Relic of Wicked Slumber: Nightmarecatcher is the sound ÆVANGELIST at is most naked. No less dense and multi-layered than Matron Thorn's vast body of work under this moniker, the shimmeringNightmarecatcher stretches ÆVANGELIST to a skeletal breaking point, a gross 'n' garish carcass on which Thorn dangles flickering afterimages of disconnection. Exposed and rotten yet no less resilient, this sonic iteration of ÆVANGELIST retains Thorn's characteristically nightmarish alchemy, but disposes of obfuscation and obtuseness; after recent muddling events, only a clearly aimed fist of hazy horror accomplishes the directive. Rising to the challenge, Gerbaud's truly disturbing vocals ritualistically recite a litany of horrors both tangible and otherworldly, leading the listener into the craggiest catacombs of the self.

Atmosphere reigns supreme, as it always has in ÆVANGELIST, and comprehension of its infinitely writhing tendrils begins in the title itself. Blessed Be the Relic of Wicked Slumber: Nightmarecatcher is the grand rebirth of the true ÆVANGELIST - past, present, future, all ripped asunder and reinvigorated in search of The Truth.

In its attempt to convey the diabolical horror of this album, my amplifier collapsed into a singularity and began accreting nearby buildings along with their screaming inhabitants. I cannot stop it. It will destroy us all. Anyway, please enjoy this album as you await your doom. (Sorry about that.) Iraviya
