Schammasch- Sic Lvceat Lvx

Limited vinyl LP pressing. Formed in 2009, the Swiss group Schammasch combines a forward approach to modern black metal, articulating their extreme roots with doom-laden atmospherics dredged with Hermetic mysticism. The band, whose name derives from Babylonian sun god Samaš, signed to Prosthetic in 2014 to release Contradiction, which Metal Hammer lauded as "one of the most overwhelming albums of the year... cerebral and utterly absorbing." Schammasch's 2010 debut opus Sic Lvceat Lvx, which translates from Latin to "Let the Light Shine," consists of seven hypnotic, cinematic tracks.
