TRANSILVANIA The Night of Nights LP

Invictus reissue of the 2018 debut LP from Transilvania. Available on regular black vinyl with new artwork and layout courtesy of Heresie Graphics!

Transilvania’s debut full-length The Night of Nights came out early in 2018 and it occupies the sweet spot between the relentless attack of black/thrash metal fusions and the melodic acts of black/heavy metal ones. Following their EP and the 7” split, the full-length has no shortage of the material. Nine songs (two of which had also appeared earlier on their EP Morbid Majesty) of black magic, vampires, and the occult give you more than what you could ask for. 

The melodic and smooth guitar work might sound like a riff that is inspired by 90s medieval black metal of Desaster, and the next moment it is a riff that wouldn’t be out of place on a Mercyful Fate-sounding heavy metal album. Brilliant guitar work is accompanied by ferocious vocals and the occasional howls (over Bedburg). The main riff of the last song of the Ante Meridiem side is very similar to the bouncy intro riff of the first song of the Post Meridiem side. The last moments follow the first the way the moon follows the sun in a perpetual full circle – grabbing you from the first moment, it only leaves you wanting to go back to the castle for another night when it ends.
