Scimitar Scimitarium I

Crypt of the Wizard is proud to present Scimitar - Scimitarium I on vinyl and digital formats. Formed in 2024 by veterans of Copenhagen's underground music scene-including members of Slaegt, Endless Glory, and Shaam Larein-Scimitar arrives as a fully formed force of nature. In their raucous wake lies Scimitarium I, a frenzied, whirling dervish of black occult rock. For those familiar with the members' previous efforts, this should come as no surprise. This piece of musical alchemy is a perfect knife-edge dance, seamlessly blending elements of black metal, post-punk, and occult rock. Dark and serpentine, onyx black, scaled and sacred, Scimitarium I unfurls itself like an endless snake wrapped tight around the world. With a dark heart and a head full of fever dreams, this is an album of breathless intensity. Shaam A.'s constant presence provides an abundance of rich, overflowing lyrics, delivered in her distinctive and haunting voice-written as if hurriedly scrawled in feverish reverie-and reinforced by winding, twisted narratives played out on violent yet harmonic duelling guitars, alongside a rhythm section of unyielding intensity. Scimitar has quickly become an indelible part of the city's fertile and ever-evolving metal scene-a place where stalwarts continue to push boundaries and break moulds with seemingly effortless zeal. This is an album of forged perfection, honed and sharpened like a curved blade-shimmering with lethal precision-driven straight into the heart of all matters. Genre: Alternative / Rock / Metal
