Here we have the first full-length from a seven-year-old Spanish band. Brought to us by Listenable Records, this is blackened death-doom goodness. According to Spectrum Mortis, Bit Meseri "revolves around the vision of life and death that existed in ancient Mesopotamia." Heavy on the "ceremonial occult" vibes, it is highly atmospheric stuff. It is also very well-written, well-executed and well-produced. You can listen to the album below, and purchase it here .
