Antiversum emerged from Switzerland in 2015
with their debut demo “Total Vacuum”, immediately drawing attention in the
underground with a vision rooted in nihilism and cosmic collapse. Two years
later, the band released their first full-length, “Cosmos Comedenti”, a
harrowing work that cemented their reputation for crafting cavernous,
world-ending soundscapes. Their music embodies an overwhelming embrace of void
and chaos, blending black, doom, and death metal into an experience that
mirrors the collapse of existence itself. Now, after years of silence, the band
returns with their second full-length album, “De Nemesis Omnes Et Omnia”,
released through Amor Fati Productions.
With “De
Nemesis Omnes Et Omnia”, Antiversum delivers
an album that stretches far beyond typical underground metal boundaries in scope
and atmosphere. Comprised of five sprawling tracks and lasting 56 minutes, this
release submerges the listener in a world of suffocating vastness and ominous
weight.
“Pulsar Feralis” opens the descent with over 14 minutes of swirling riffs and cosmic turbulence, a track that drags the audience into its orbit without mercy. The guitars roar like collapsing stars, while the drums surge in waves that echo across deep space. Vocals emerge from the abyss like transmissions from another dimension, buried yet distinct enough to intensify the sense of unease.
“Scudo-Nero”
continues the journey with relentless drive, weaving oppressive repetition with
sudden eruptions of chaos. The title track, “De Nemesis Omnes Et Omnia,”
condenses the essence of Antiversum’s vision
into eight concentrated minutes, heavy with riffs that sound timeless and
destructive. “Qbism” twists the album into stranger territories, its shifting
structures unpredictable and unnerving, preparing the listener for the massive
closing track.
“Vuoto” concludes the album with 13 minutes of all-encompassing collapse. It embodies the concept of the void in its purest form—slow, crushing, and suffused with dread. By the time silence arrives, it feels less like an ending and more like annihilation fulfilled. Across the entire album, Antiversum achieves a balance between atmosphere and a sense of progression. The sound is cavernous and alive, carrying an aura of hostility and intent. “De Nemesis Omnes Et Omnia” is not an easy listen but an experience meant to engulf, unsettle, and drag the listener into its cosmic abyss.
Score: 7.3
