Music like Svartidauði

Svartidauði are an Icelandic black metal band from Kópavogur, Reykjavík that formed in 2002. The name 'Svarti Dauði' is Icelandic for "Black Death". They released three demos before they released their debut album Flesh Cathedral on Terratur Possessions in 2012, as well as a split EP with the Chilean black metal band 'Perdition'. Flesh Cathedral was received well by the metal press, gaining positive reviews from websites such as Metal-Fi, Lurker's Path, Metal Ireland, and LA Music Blog. Iceland Music Export writes that the band is "Already infamous for their chaotic and often violent live shows in their native Iceland..."

On March 3, 2014, Svartidauði announced the release of a new EP titled The Synthesis of Whore and Beast, due out on April 30, 2014, through Terratur Possessions and Daemon Worship Productions. The EP was produced by Stephen Lockhart at Studio Emissary and was available on CD and 12" vinyl. Reviewing the EP, Lords of Metal gave it 95/100 and wrote that "you are left broken, your twisted finger going for the play button and full of joy you dive back into the hell only Svartidauði can deliver."
