Who proclaims, who decides, who announces the end of the orations?

Captive of forms that vitrify again this side of reality.

Here’s what MERRIMACK have to say about the release of Dead and Distant Clamors:

“This song pays tribute to old-school black metal, embracing its desperate atmosphere and incorporating haunting, slow sections reminiscent of a depressive waltz. Guitars engage in a conversation around a hypnotic crescendo, while the vocals articulate the inevitable possibilities of decay. Expect nothing less than a pure homage to the essence of darkness.”
