Fides Inversa - Hanc Aciem Sola Retundit Virtus The Algolagnia Divine

Review by Jeff Veillette

Fides Inversa's latest album, "Hanc Aciem Sola Retundit Virtus The Algolagnia Divine," is a haunting masterpiece that showcases the band's unique blend of black metal and avant-garde elements. The album is a concept work that explores the themes of pain, suffering, and transcendence through a series of intense and atmospheric tracks.

The album opens with "I Glorify," a chilling instrumental that sets the stage for the rest of the album. From there, Fides Inversa takes the listener on a journey through a series of intense and often dissonant tracks, including "The Visit," "The Offering," and "The Awakening."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Trident," which features a hauntingly beautiful guitar melody that is underpinned by pounding drums and bass. The song builds to a powerful climax that is both cathartic and unsettling.
