The Black Mysteries - "These Are The Keys To Your Endlessness. Your Endlessness Is The Key To These Keys" CD 21 September 2025

Even if you don't agree with such statements, Black Metal is a vast and unpredictable field within extreme music. No formula is right, you just need to feel it. Anyone can set rules about what is Black Metal and how it should sound or look and what it is all about. And everyone can break those said rules and open gates never crossed.

I can't say if The Black Mysteries play by any rules, break them or make their own, I never really cared about rules, what I can say is that Maurice de Jong expand his musical interest in such a vast spectrum that even if there are any rules, I'm confident he doesn't give them much of a thought.

This particular album by his The Black Mysteries project is such a journey that it is hard to catalogue. By the artist's words, "it is weird", but I don't see weirdness here, I see character!

Black Metal with an old vibe, outdated in a world of polished precision and reeking of feeling and deviance!

CD limited to 100 copies, expected to be available during October and now open for pre-orders.
