Some bands claim extremity, and posture. Some bands exploit the visual aspects of ritual as a form of entertainment. Church ov Melkarth surpass them all, rivaled only by the likes of Watain and Secrets of the Moon. The drones and rhythm guitars of their most recent work, Varkolak, are a hypnotic journey on the Cabbalistic Tree of Death, with the c

orresponding frequencies themselves a path working through the Tunnels of Set and back in a representative metamorphosis from man to demon. Fleshed out by rhythmic and ritualistic drums and percussion performed with the bones and smashed in skull of murder victims, psychedelic leads, completed with the tortured screams of a vocalist strung out on insomnia, illicit substances, questionable physical and mental health, the band transcends traditional music and returns from a droning black metal act to a realm of refined high art, released independently on vinyl. Church ov Melkarth's live shows only further the band's reputation for extremity: whether it be through bastardized communions, swirling hypnotic drones making the audience physically ill, vestments drenched in rotting pigs' blood, or making even proclaimed Satanists exit venues in an uncomfortable malaise of their actions makes them one of Texas' best kept secrets in the metal underground. Those who have witnessed their live performance know that the band channels forces which, to many, seem unnatural. We will travel and perform anywhere for expenses being paid. Local shows must be presented with at least six weeks advance notice and a guarantee of $75
