release notes:
With this third full-length, FERALIA delve deeper into their singular
vision of Black Metal, forging a work that resists easy categorization.
"Ultima Requies" is neither rooted in old school orthodoxy nor aligned
with the polished tendencies of contemporary production. Instead, it
stands as a raw and evocative offering, where abrasive textures and
ritualistic atmospheres converge into something austere, immersive and
profoundly spiritual.
The sound remains anchored in a sense of the sacred, drawing from arcane
and occult dimensions tied to the archaic Roman world. Each composition
unfolds as a passage, evoking forgotten rites, liminal states and the
tension between life and death, presence and absence.
The artwork of "Ultima Requies" reflects this vision, depicting a
reinterpretation of the necromantic ritual of Erichto, the Thessalian
witch described in "De Bello Civili" by Lucan. A figure feared even by
the gods, Erichto was said to raise fallen soldiers from the battlefield
during one of the most turbulent phases of Roman civil war. This imagery
embodies the album's core: a confrontation with death not as an end, but
as a threshold to forbidden knowledge.
Following the path opened by "Helios Manifesto" and "Under Stige / Over
Dianam", FERALIA further refine their language, balancing raw intensity
with a deeply contemplative undercurrent. The result is an album that
feels both immediate and timeless, grounded in the physicality of Black
Metal yet reaching toward something intangible and eternal.
