Emerging from the scorched soil of Carthage’s spectral legacy, Primordial Black doesn’t merely release an album—they summon a metaphysical tempest. Dark Matter Manifesto is not a collection of songs, but a ceremonial descent into the void, where cosmic entropy and spiritual erosion intertwine. The Tunisian ensemble channels a soundscape that feels less composed than conjured, as if each track were etched into existence by forces beyond comprehension. This is blackened death invocation—ritualistic, cinematic, and unrelentingly bleak.

The album’s architecture is built on tectonic layers of atmospheric dread and industrial abrasion, with each track serving as a portal into collapsing dimensions. Sakis Tolis, the venerable voice of Rotting Christ, appears like a prophet of ruin on “Sowing Discord,” his vocals slicing through the sonic fog like obsidian. Maxime Taccardi, ever the alchemist of horror, delivers a vocal performance that borders on possession—his contribution to the album’s finale is a fever dream of anguish and transcendence, dragging the listener into a realm where sanity is optional.

What sets Dark Matter Manifesto apart is its refusal to cater to genre orthodoxy. While blackened death metal may be its skeletal frame, the flesh is something far more arcane. The band’s use of ritual ambient textures and dissonant harmonies evokes a sense of sacred decay, as if the music were composed in a crumbling cathedral lit only by dying stars. Tracks like “Din of thy Celestial Birds” and the title piece don’t just play—they unfold, like cursed scrolls revealing truths too heavy for mortal minds.

Ultimately, Primordial Black achieves something rare: a sonic theology of despair. Their debut full-length is not just an album—it’s a manifesto of metaphysical rebellion, a rejection of divine silence, and an embrace of the abyss. In a genre often saturated with mimicry, Dark Matter Manifesto stands as a singular monolith—cold, towering, and unforgettable. ~ FF
