    A sinister ritual march, "Abiura", accompanies the celebrant to the gates of the dark temple within which this mysterious liturgy is officiated, representing the purest and most introspective black art.

    Argesh with “Excommunica” present themselves to the international Black Metal scene with a powerful album without weak points, which enhances the excellent compositional and executive skills of all the members participating in this ambitious project. A Black Metal that can be inserted in the symphonic genre like Dimmu Borgir, Septic Flesh and in some situations also similar to that proposed by the Fleshgod Apocalypse.

    The guitar work is well balanced: icy and very violent in "Suffocate in Oxygen", cadenced in "Source of Miracles", more atmospheric and dark in "Praelatorum Pedophilia", elegant invocation of the trinity of the Divider.

    An excellent proof is that of the singer, able to enhance each part by accompanying the listener on this journey, energetic and powerful in the growling, scratchy and malignant in the screaming, evocative and epic in the recited parts, of great quality "Elohim Mark".

    The drum parts, reasoned and adapted to the stylistic variety of the album, Black Metal and Death Metal in particular, but also Industrial and Depressive.

    "When the thousand years have passed, Satan will be released from prison" and the dark symphonies of the Argesh will be the perfect soundtrack.
