If this is the future direction of Ofermod I'm really excited for their next release. But it's Ofermod, so it's quite likely that the next release will be another masterpiece anyway. I have to emphasize that the two new songs are really really great though.

SHADOW RECORDS (distributed & marketed by REGAIN RECORDS) is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from OFERMOD, Ofermodian Litanies, on CD and 12" vinyl.
By now, OFERMOD should require no introduction. Formed back in the dark days of 1996, the band released their debut EP, Mystérion Tés Anomias, in 1998. Although a mere two songs, OFERMOD’s opening salvo sowed the seeds for the orthodox black metal movement that would begin to blossom in the new millennium, alongside fellow SHADOW RECORDS alumni FUNERAL MIST and MALIGN. Crime and chaos followed mainman Belfagor everywhere he went, and the band’s momentum remained halted. However, OFERMOD eventually became a working entity again, starting with 2008’s Tiamtü full-length, and through magick and will did more recordings follow: Thaumiel (2012), the two-song Serpents’ Dance EP (2014), Sol Nox (2017), and the posthumous Pentagrammaton, originally intended to be the band’s debut album. And just last year, a renewed and reinvigorated OFERMOD released the acclaimed full-length Mysterium Iniquitatus.
Each OFERMOD recording always put forth a pivotal piece of their ever-evolving puzzle – ever the same, yet always different – and so it goes with the forthcoming mini-album Ofermodian Litanies. Something of a “double EP,” Ofermodian Litanies features two brand-new songs recorded with the lineup of Belfagor on vocals, guitar, and bass and MARDUK’s Simon “Bloodhammer” Schilling on drums; two tracks from the aforementioned Serpents’ Dance EP, long out of print; and an unreleased version of the title track to Tiamtü. The two new tracks with Schilling on drums impart a stately mania that moves from grim strut to ghoulish fury, with Belfagor’s vocals always a hackle-raising centerpiece. Although many years removed and with a lineup that would carry forward to Sol Nox, the two Serpents’ Dance tracks hold up exceptionally well, finding OFERMOD at their ugliest and arguably most rabble-rousing – the hooligan to the ritualist, if you will. Recorded during those same sessions, the unreleased version of “Tiamtü” holds the same slow-burn intensity of the original, with the ritualist here perhaps replacing the hooligan. All material here was recorded, produced, and mastered by Magnus “Devo” Andersson at Endarker Studios, keeping the totality intact.
Compact yet somehow still expansive, Ofermodian Litanies is aptly titled. OFERMOD illuminate both the past and present!

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit

La justice ne se trouve pas chez les Dieux pas plus qu'elle ne se trouve dans les palais. Með hamri, c'est le marteau de la vengeance. S'il subsiste encore une part d'humanité ("Með harmi", "Engin vorkunn"), elle est très précaire, menacée par des solos hystériques ("Með hamri"), des cuivres triomphants et une batterie martiale ("Blóðhefnd") — M.S. : génial.
