AKERCOCKE - Decades Of Devil Worship (LP)

Throughout the years, Akercocke has become known for its savage & prodigious live work. And now, with a
stunningly produced & meticulously delivered torrent of high-octane blackened death metal captured live in at
the Underworld in London in 2007, Akercocke blast through a collection of tracks lifted from the classic debut,
‘Rape Of The Bastard Nazarene’ & follow-up album ‘The Goat Of Mendes’ for a night of pure satanic magic
with ‘Decades Of Devil Worship’, a hellish & eclectic journey through the ritualistic & the profane.
Towering above the vast majority of nefarious contemporary noisemakers, London’s Akercocke erupted across
the consciousness of the UK metal scene in the late ‘90’s, wielding a fiendishly inventive blend of death, black
& progressive metal. Their distinctive, smartly-dressed demeanour & eloquent preoccupation with all things
dark & Satanic marked them out both as ferociously individual artists & enlightened students of the pitch-black
sonic code. Immediately embraced by the British faithful upon the release of debut album ‘Rape Of The
Bastard Nazarene’, Akercocke spent the following decade leading the creative charge for their entire native
scene.
Akercocke received widespread acclaim for follow-up album ‘The Goat Of Mendes’ (Peaceville, 2001) & despite
enjoying furious momentum over the following years, the release of fifth album ‘Antichrist’ in 2007 signalled
the end of the first chapter of the Akercocke story, when the band retreated into the shadows & remained
dormant for the best part of a decade until a triumphant return was marked with the stellar Peaceville return,
‘Renaissance In Extremis’, released in 2017.
This edition of 'Decades Of Devil Worship' is presented on black vinyl with printed inner sleeve.
