As the pendulum swings from blackened fury to bitter emotions, OPUS IRAE unleashes bolts of molten ferocity and classic serenity. Tidal shifts of unbridled passion sweep the listener into a realm of haunted melodies coupled with unfettered brutality, quenching the thirst of even the most desperate souls. OPUS IRAE has mastered the art of exquisitely alternating between soaring orchestral refrains and manic charges, demanding attention with a potent alchemy of refined rage and delicate aural poetry.
With their eagerly anticipated debut album, “Into The Endless Night”, OPUS IRAE delivers an overwhelming onslaught of focused intensity! Mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Dissection, Nightingale) and featuring artwork by the legendary Kristian “Necrolord” Wåhlin (At The Gates, Dissection, Emperor), this is symphonic black metal of the highest quality!
Classy and with exceptional song writing skills – Opus Irae will restore your faith in the medium of extreme music to both soothe and crush your spirit, transporting you away to ethereal realms of darkness… Building on the kult foundations of early Emperor and Dimmu Borgir, their music will cause your soul to roar in the delicate beauty of classical music before brutally bringing you back down to the black extremities.
