Godkiller – Deliverance (Peaceville)

Label Description:

COINCIDING WITH THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF GODKILLER’S FINAL FULL-LENGTH ALBUM OF DARK METAL WITH INDUSTRIAL & ELECTRONIC ELEMENTS.

Formed in 1993 and hailing from Monaco, Godkiller was the vision of multi-instrumentalist & sole founding member, Duke Satanaël, who between 1996 and 2000 released an EP and 2 studio albums under the Godkiller name, commencing with the black metal cult classic debut ‘The Rebirth of the Middle Ages’.

Though initially more a death metal inspired act in the formative years, Godkiller quickly developed into a project fully engulfed in the spirit of 1990s black metal, bringing to mind acts like Emperor and Satyricon for the implementation of such strong atmospherics, though on later releases Godkiller incorporated more industrial and electronic elements into the compositions as part of its creative evolution.

‘Deliverance’ was Godkiller’s second studio album, and final release before the project was laid to rest, and ventured into a more electronic and industrially metallic direction for what could be considered a more contemporary and expressive take on Godkiller’s established brand of darkness.
