Ecclesia - 'Et Cum Spiritu Tuo' (official music video)

Fear not my friend
For I have come to relieve you
Wherever you hide
You shall be found out
And snatched out of misery
A gang of priors is waiting for you
We've had enough
The chalice is broken
Are you ready for a wild holy ride?

Pray with me my friend
Forget your past demons away
Let your sins be forgiven
Let your life be sanctified
Kneel down with me my brother
For your soul to be set free
There's nothing better than being a saint
Take the sword, get in the gang

Our fuel's the Word of God
Never look back, you know the mission
Get on your Holy Davidson
And let the Spirit light the road
We are the Heaven patrol
Our only fuel is the Word of God
Crushing heresy with fire
The Spirit be with you

Et cum spiritu tuo

Our fuel's the Word of God
Never look back, you know the mission
Get on your Holy Davidson
And let the Spirit light the road
We are the Heaven patrol
Our only fuel is the Word of God
Crushing heresy with fire
The Spirit be with you

Ecclesia: πενταμελές Γαλλικό doom (κατά βάση) metal συγκρότημα με Ελληνικό όνομα (εκκλησία). Δημιουργήθηκαν προ οκταετίας και αποκαλούν την μουσική τους «Witchfinding Metal of Doom». Γάλλοι που έχουν μελετήσει πολύ καλά το Σουηδικό power / doom metal ρεύμα των 90ς, το εμπέδωσαν πλήρως, το αφομοίωσαν και παρουσιάζουν την δική τους μουσική πρόταση - οπτική.

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει ένα ep (το 2017) και έναν "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο (το 2020) υπό τον τίτλο "De Ecclesiæ Universalis". Πλέον βρίσκονται στην τελική ευθεία για το δεύτερο full length album, το οποίο φέρει τον τίτλο "Ecclesia Militans" και αναμένεται τον επόμενο μήνα με το Γαλλικό συγκρότημα να μας λέει σχετικά: «We are proud to present our new witch-hunting soundtrack.»

Δελτίο τύπου: «Armed with purifying fire, blessed swords, and Holy Rage, Ecclesia's lyrical themes deal with the 12th Century dark medieval age of Holy Inquisition.

On Ecclesia Militans, one will find a perfect syncretism between traditional heavy metal and epic doom, recalling the likes of Candlemass, the UK's Solstice, and especially Tony Martin-era Black Sabbath.

Ecclesia's proselytism will convert fans of those as well as anyone who can feel the righteous fervor of medieval brimstone - now confess your sins!»
