After having deeply explored the different aspects of Crowley’s philosophy on their previous releases Iao Sabao and Lucifer Leviathan Logos, MAGISTER TEMPLI returns with its highly anticipated sophomore full length, Into Duat. The new album sees the band focusing thematically on some of the central myths and gods of Egyptian Mythology (“Duat” is the realm of the God Osiris). As on their 7″ Nyarlathotep from 2014, the band has moved even further away from their doom-inspired beginnings, towards a more open-minded musical experience that is strongly based on filthy traditional heavy metal. Heavy guitars, intense drumming and authoritarian, preaching vocals are key ingredients.

The album was recorded in Oslo between Evil Octopus and Sorcerer studios, with former band member Simon Aarset as technician. The cover painting was done by the German painter Stefan Bleyl.
