Polish epic doomsters Evangelist streaming two songs "Perceval" and "The Puritan"

December 18th, 2020 is the date for the new work called Ad Mortem Festinamus that lasts more than 35 minutes. Fans of operatic vocals, slow-burner riffs and melodies are going to enjoy the return of Evangelist. As you can see below (it's not streaming yet on Bandcamp), they also have done a cover of a Manilla Road song, giving it the Evangelist treatment. This version is a bit more elegant than the original but the feeling remains the same. This version stays slow throughout and doomier, although of course the original was already doomy. It's a cool tribute Manilla Road. -Metal Bulletin Zine

Ad Mortem Festinamus

Nine Records

18 December 2020

ABOUT: Nine Records will release EVANGELIST's Ad Mortem Festimaus December 18, 2020 on CD and limited edition vinyl (300 copies).

In times of doom, EVANGELIST returns with songs of death and destruction. The band was first started in the spring of 2008, with inspiration mainly coming from the obscure epic metal scene in the U.S., epic doom metal pioneers and metal classics in general. Major lyrical inspiration came from the twisted minds of R.E. Howard, H.P. Lovecraft, history, religion and spirituality of the ages gone by.

Their debut album, In Partibus Infidelium, was recorded between 2009 and 2011 and released in June 2011 by PsycheDOOMelic Records. Their sophomore record, Doominicanes, was recorded between 2012 and 2013 and released in May 2013 by Doomentia Records. In October 2014, a collaboration with CAPILLA ARDIENTE troops was revealed in the form of the infamous Capilla Ardiente/Evangelist 12” split on which EVANGELIST delivered their own version of MAYHEM’S classic “Freezing Moon." In December 2018, after a short hiatus, their third album, Deus Vult, was released by Nine Records.

Almost one year later, recording sessions began on two new songs, as well as a rendition of one of MANILLA ROAD'S finest tracks, "Mystification." These three songs were paired with another three tracks recorded during the Deus Vult recording sessions, and will ultimately be released as an EP, entitled Ad Mortem Festimaus
