WRATH OF LOGARIUS come crawling out from the misty forests of Northern California. In their wake, fans a dark, flaming and eerily melodic new subgenre: Formless Black Metal.

This skeletal trio are now releasing their very first EP on Season of Mist. The six songs on ‘Necrotic Assimilation’ writhe between black, brutal death and even melodic post-metal – often over the course of one hard and fast song.

“’Necrotic Assimilation’ is the product of blending our favorites aspects of different types of black metal into one band,” says Wrath of Logarius. “We are pleased with the outcome and will continue to build on that idea.”

So what exactly is formless black metal? A mountainous slop of human flesh…an amalgamation of ever-changing eyes, fangs and bone. That description is one of the first things you hear on “The Burning One”, and while awfully unsettling, it hits the nail right through the demon’s skull. The song screams across the sky thanks to Noctifer’s malignant vocals, only to plunge into a fiery pit of tremolo picking before snapping back into blast beats that blister under the legendary heel of Lord Marco.

“‘The Burning One’ tells a story about an inner dimensional invasion of earth”, says Wrath of Logarius. “These unsightly creatures are set to take over the world, infecting everything living with Necrotic Assimilation, a virus that takes over the mind. Hosts are turned into an empty vessel, forced to do the bidding of The Burning One”.

Formed in 2021 amidst the mist-shrouded forests of Northern California, Wrath of Logarius emerged as a formidable force in the world of extreme music. This black metal trio, consisting of Noctifer, Urath, and Vastator, set out to forge a new path with their unique genre known as Formless Black Metal.

Wrath of Logarius’ creative spark ignited as they embarked on their journey to create something different in black metal. Drawing inspiration from brutal blackened death and melodic post-black metal, the skeletal trio emerged with a new subgenre. ‘Necrotic Assimilation’ introduces pure Formless Black Metal, where the styles change within each song.
