Wrath of Logarius Don 'Crown of Mortis"

April 3, 2025

No matter what skeletal form they assume, Wrath of Logarius aren't bound by black metal's strict traditions. The band's debut album crowns them kings of a new realm for the underground: formless black metal.

"What a fresh perspective", Metal Bite writes in a 9/10 review for Crown of Mortis. "For every second's worth of savagery, you'll also take in striking melodic passages and slow-burning parts that feels as if you've been placed on the rack; relentlessly dragging the depths; turning up the filth of human existence with every dooming riff".

"For a debut album, the record is very concise, compact and fluid", says Pedro from A&P Reacts. "There's a little bit of everything pushing this record in different directions and that gives the sound a much richer texture than if it was just a black metal album".

Crown of Mortis comes out this Friday, April 4 on Season of Mist, but you can hear all nine boundless songs today by listening to the full album stream on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.

Wrath of Logarius Expand Reign on 'Long Dead the King'

March 18, 2025

Though they emerged from a misty scene that's familiar to the corpse paint initiate, Wrath of Logarius aren't bound by black metal's strict sense of traditions. Their upcoming debut Crown of Mortis ushers in a new realm for the underground: formless black metal. On the album's latest single "Long Dead the King", the skeletal band reveal the full reign of their powers.

Wrath of Logarius hail from deep within the redwood forests of Northern California, but it's fitting that the band's formless spell on black metal first caught wind amongst the digital underground. After all, the band are named after a notoriously shifty video game dungeon lord. Crown of Mortis expands upon the Bloodborne lore teased by their ascendant EP. Each song twists into a uniquely horrifying tale that serves the larger plot of its accursed king.

"Ruler of the atmospheric dread", Noctifer pronounces with a blackened rasp. While draped in gloom, Wrath of Logarius' new single doesn't unfold at a stately pace. "Long Dead the King" marches to the blistering pace set by Lord Marco's punishingly precise blast beats.

Whereas the last single from Crown of Mortis bent the clearly defined subworlds of black metal into a swirling, moonlit void, "Long Dead the King" serves as living proof that Wrath of Logarius' formless reign extends across the world of extreme metal. Strega axemen Urath and Vastrator shred the line between hellishly cold tremolo picking and the eternal fires of melodic dissonance, only to summon the album's most brutal breakdown with an undead army of chugs.

"All I know is from Death", growls Noctifer, in full command over the underground's desolate new realms.

After emerging from the misty forests of Northern California four years ago, Wrath of Logarius spread through the world of underground metal like a bloodborne virus. "...a ferocious display of intent which signifies the band's potential to become a powerhouse", New Noise wrote about the band's burning introduction.

Many hunters would've reaped their rewards while resting their bones, but Crown of Mortis only builds on the band's growing lore. T he album's first single summoned all the bloody runes from the band's formless spellbook. Now armed with newly minted Strega guitars, Wrath of Logarius cycle through the many moonlit phases of black metal on "Of the Void".

New bassist Xolotl opens the icy procession with dissonant bass chugs, as if marching toward death. Like a howling wind, Vastator whips across a darkened stretch of classic tremolo picking, only to climb like mist through a solo that drips with despair.

"Open the gates and let revision in", Noctifier screams before being engulfed by the blistering flames from Lord Marco's blast beats. "Slowly dismantle every part of you".

On "Of the Void", Wrath of Logarius usher black metal into a boundless new realm.

For this playthrough, Wrath of Logarius used Strega Master Elite series Lamia 7s loaded with custom Arcana Glaive Pickups.

Wrath of Logarius Announce Debut Album 'Crown of Mortis'

January 28, 2025

Despite its fiery and contentious spirit, black metal can get stuck in its own ways. But while they emerged from a mystic scene that's familiar to the well-initiated, Wrath of Logarius aren't bound by black metal's strict sense of tradition.

The band's upcoming debut album officially announces a new realm for the subgenre: formless black metal. Much like their notoriously hard-to-beat namesake, which approach they take in launching their attack is impossible to predict. But no matter what skeletal form they assume, one thing is clear: Crown of Mortis pronounces Wrath of Logarius as unflinching kings of black metal's new realm.

Crown of Mortis comes out April 4 on Season of Mist.

Watch the commanding video for the album's shape-shifting lead single "Keeper of the Spectral Legion".

Wrath of Logarius hail from the misty forests of Northern California, but it's fitting that whispers of their supremacy started by spreading through the digital underground. The band's introductory EP infected the world of extreme metal like a bloodborne virus.

"To these ears, I hear Cascadian black metal mixed with a blackened form of tech death, with some stunningly beautiful melodic work", New Noise wrote about Necrotic Assimilation. "All that is to say, good luck figuring out Wrath of Logarius, and that's the point".

On Crown of Mortis, the legend behind Wrath of Logarius has only grown. The album follows in the wake of the band's viral takeover; each song serves the larger narrative of an accursed king with its lead single rolling out the blood red carpet for his army of the dead.

"Ancient - Power - Cosmic - Legion", Noctifier growls during the song's punchy, bone-crushing chorus before his gutturals climb into throat-scraped agony.

Wrath of Logarius summons the full force of their signature formless style on "Keeper of the Spectral Legion". After another studio ritual at Rapture Recordings with producer Cody Fuentes, the band have leveled up in brute strength and hair-raising skill. Lord Marco's flying fingers still pound with technical precession while Urath and Vastador churn chunky death metal riffs into blackened reams of shredding melodic dissonance.

With Crown of Mortis, Wrath of Logarius build on their throne of formless black metal. Though possessed by a mournful melody, "Long Dead the King" marches to Lord Marco's blistering blasts. The flays from his flying fingers are so precise in their pounding that they erode the mind. But while the band have leveled up in brute strength, the album also ups their chilling sense for atmosphere with hair-raising skill. With the curl of each blackened tendril, "Of the Void" embraces transfiguration by fire and ice. "Open the gates and let revision in", Noctifier beckons amidst swirling dissonance. "Slowly dismantle every part of you".

Wrath of Logarius also encrust Crown of Mortis with deadly new jewels. Another woodland specter comes to join their ranks on "The Ethereal Mist". Beneath its slithering stomp emerges Vilhelm of Grima with freshly rotten snarls. "Lurker's Tomb" crashes down with knuckle-dragging riffs and brutal double bass kicks, but its trap is sprung by a solo that's treachery lies in its maze-like technicality. "The fear subsides for now I breathe again", Noctifier shrieks as the album's dread-inducing closer ascends into the astral plane.

On Crown of Mortis, Wrath of Logarius bend black metal to fit their formless rule.
