Amen Corner’s “Written by the Devil” captures three decades of Brazilian black-metal heritage in a single, sinister breath. Recorded by the Curitiba cult veterans and released on June 7 2024, this limited digipak edition (only 1,000 pressed) showcases the band’s trademark blend of first-wave ferocity and occult atmospherics. Across nine originals and a fierce Bathory cover, riffs cascade into ritualistic melodies while lyrical invocations of Lucifer, war and eternal night echo the genre’s oldest traditions. Hammerheart Records’ matte-finish digipak houses vivid artwork and a booklet with full lyrics, making this pressing the definitive format for collectors who demand both sound and substance.
