BAPTISM - V: The Devils Fire (Gatefold, Black) (LP)

Finnish black metal veterans BAPTISM return with 'V: The Devil's Fire', their first new album in four years and their Season of Mist debut. As tracks like "Abyss", "Satananda", "Malignant Shadows" and the title track illustrate, BAPTISM founder and visionary Lord Sargofagian is unwavering in his pursuit of crafting of black metal anthems. BAPTISM are among the black metal elite, and 'V: The Devil's Fire' refines the grim art of black metal orthodoxy into a sharper, more vicious weapon.
