Taken from the OFFICIUM TRISTE full length album titled 'Hortus Venenum' on Transcending Obscurity Records

Info -
Widely regarded as legends in the style, Dutch death/doom metal band Officium Triste have mastered the art of playing emotive yet elegant music and have honed their sound even more on their seventh full length album. 'Hortus Venenum' is a special album as it celebrates the band's 30th year anniversary and it's remarkable that even after so many years they have continued to evolve and improve upon their already established sound. The songwriting is surprisingly effective with its disarming simplicity and clean, exquisite tunes soaked in heartfelt emotion, delivered with the kind of sincerity which only comes from years of experience, both as musicians and worldly men. The relatively shorter songs have a sense of immediacy that the previous albums didn't have but their emotional depth is just as strong if not better than before. There are tasteful embellishments all over the album without affecting the sense of continuity and cohesiveness; there's diversity without disrupting the overall mood and the music's innate evocative power. With intuitively arranged songs, it's hardly perceptible that 'Hortus Venenum' is the band's shortest full length album and yet it's among their most potent ones - the beauty and appeal of the music on this one is nigh unparalleled. Suffice to say, it's another masterpiece from this band that only seems to get better with age.

For fans of - Saturnus, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Draconian, Swallow The Sun, November’s Doom

One of the best bands in metal. Unique, not overloaded sound, amazing melodicism and memorability and Pim’s velvety growling. The return was successful. I'm waiting for the album.

Fantastic! Very recently discovered Officium Triste and have already listened to most of their discography. Great to see they have a new album on the way! Will be purchasing this album on CD and Vinyl the moment it's released! Also will be looking into purchasing their previous albums physically.

One of the first bands from the doom/death realm to really catch my attention back in the day. Happy to see them still alive and kickin' some solid material. Anxious about the album!
