Maenadic Ecstasy

by Pharmakeia

Moses "Maenadic Ecstacy" by Pharmakeia is the album that plays when you're circling the 7th circle of hell Favorite track: Execration.

David Fischer Maenadic Ecstasy is (in the vocal department) not quite as demented and rabid as Hwwauoch's newest outing, but even heavier: the ominous, signature Pràva atmosphere is still everpresent but being overrun by primordial, unquenchable fury and violence even more intense and menacing than on previous albums. There's so many bands trying to sound evil and sinister, but none are fit to hold a candle to Pharmakeia. Crushing, soul-subverting and year-end-list-shattering. Grand, and #4 of 2023! Favorite track: Lunacy.

MJ I don’t really get “maenadic rites” from this, unless by maenads you mean a horde of 300 lb. marauding Visigoths high on psilocybin. But I FUCKING LOVE IT nonetheless. My hands-down favourite of the new Pràva Kollektiv releases, and one of the best albums in its genre (not to mention one of the biggest musical surprises) this year. Blown away! Favorite track: Consummation.

Jordan Vauvert Si les rites de la Grèce antique fascinent toujours aujourd'hui, c'est peut-être parce que l'accès à la divinité se faisait en sacrifiant son corps, en absorbant le toxique jusqu'au délire et à la mort prématurée.
Pharmakeia ressuscite ce thème dans Maenadic Ecstasy mais, au lieu de suivre les préceptes d'Apollon, il se consacre à Dionysos, s'abandonne dans une ivresse de cris incontrôlés et son black metal dissonant est une orgie décadente de sons plus horrifiants les uns que les autres... Favorite track: Zeal.
Ippocalyptica

Ippocalyptica Pharmakeia did not start out as my favourite Pràva band (that honour goes to Voidsphere, who also just released a stunner), but they have become so on the strength of Ternary Curse and this newest one, their magnum opus. I thought that I had locked down my pick for dissonant BM album of the year several months ago, but Mænadic Ecstasy has a thing (or six) to say about that. This has Mylingar-levels of intensity and inhumanity, and is more furious than the recent Furiosa trailer. Lovely! Favorite track: Lunacy.

JDMP A truly consuming piece of black metal. The wash and distortion on the guitars are almost boarding on Portal’s Avow or Hagibulbia. Good stuff here!
