NON OPUS DEI The Quintessence CD-digipack

label: Pagan Records
format: CD-digipack
year: 2006
country: Poland
genre: avantgarde black metal

The next album of one of the most intriguing and original Black Metal bands in Poland. Characteristic points of NON OPUS DEI’s sound are closed in such words as avantgarde, diabolicality, rituality, magic and breaking of stereotypes and boundaries. On “The Quintessence” NON OPUS DEI continues their trip through undiscovered or known to not numerous worlds full of symbols, primal instincts, archetypes and oppositions. Love and hate, creation and destruction, ugliness and beauty, life and death... It’s the fourth time (according to four full-length albums of the band) that NON OPUS DEI proves how creative they are and how far their style is able to progress more and more within Black Metal genre.

THE QUINTESSENCE
The primal energy of our earth: death, blood, desire, conquest.
She - is a herald to destruction and creation,
the next higher civilization,
builds and expands the entirely new,
the chaotic, primal, sinister goddess,
provokes, creates, causes change and evolution.
Faraway spiral galaxies in a movement around me.
Symbol of evolution and perpetual motion,
the dynamic and static; mobility and immobility;
harmony and balance; the two complimentary phases of movement,
going out from and returning to the centre, beginning and end…
