Antaeus "Blood Libels (Digipak, France, Norma Evangelium Diaboli, NED011/FLAME039)"

Antaeus are a French black metal band.

Antaeus were formed in 1993 but were more of a side project and "like 'nothing special' at all" according to themselves. A., who also was the bass player of Blut Aus Nord, left the band after a few rehearsals, and vocalist MkM and guitarist Piat continued as a duo.

Blood Libels is the third full-length album by French black metal band Antaeus.

As noted on the album's Discogs page:

Track 1 is depicted on the back cover as a symbol resembling the alchemical symbol for putrefaction. In the booklet it is denoted by the same symbol together with the title "Everything Great Is Built Upon Sorrow". The song is otherwise (as likely is the symbol) referred to as "Rot" by the band.
Track 2 is titled "Cyklic Torture" on back cover, in booklet it appears as entered.
Track 7 is titled as "The Walking" in booklet.
Track 8.1 duration refers to entire track 8.
Track 8.2, the outro of the album at the end of track 8, consists of a cover of "Sono L'Antechristo" by Diamanda Galás, and is cross-faded in from "Blood Libels" from 6:18 on. It is unmentioned in the track listing on the release, but referred to in the credit prints.
