Nocturnal Demonic Visitation is MESSE MORTUAIRE’s proper debut: a five-song/20-minute work of swift, sulfurous diabolism. Undeniably, MESSE MORTUAIRE are a DEATH METAL band to the very core, but equally lurking in that core is the blackest of hearts, and thus does everything here – the same grime and guttedness of the early ’90s, given further depth (abyss?) through decades spent in restless slumber – get scorched by pure EVIL: doomed and disgusting and downtuned, yes, but also perverse and simply reveling in all that is unholy and unright. Nocturnal Demonic Visitation is accurately titled, then, and stacks itself well alongside equally eldritch works by earliest Imprecation, Cemetary, and Infester.
