Wrath of Logarius Introduce a New Subgenre on ‘Necrotic Assimilation’
Wrath of Logarius come crawling out of the misty California forests with a brutal, blackened and eerily melodic new subgenre: Formless Black Metal.
The skeletal trio are releasing their debut EP tomorrow, December 8. But you can stream all six fire-breathing tracks starting right now over on our YouTube channel.
“While writing Necrotic Assimilation, we were able to discover and cultivate our sound”, says Wrath of Logarius. “We believe this EP is a great representation of Formless Black Metal. We are honored to be supported by Season of Mist and extremely proud to release Necrotic Assimilation on their label!”
So what exactly is formless black metal? A mountainous slop of human flesh…an amalgamation of ever-changing eyes, fangs and bone. That description is one of the first things you hear on lead single “The Burning One”, and while awfully unsettling, it hits the nail right through the demon’s skull. The song screams across the sky thanks to Noctifer’s malignant vocals, only to plunge into a fiery pit of tremolo picking.

“Soul Ascension” is more of a slow burn, shuddering awake with an eerie guitar melody that drips like candles around a coffin. But the pace quickens before bursting into flames under the clip of Lord Marco’s hi-hat.
“To say that Necrotic Assimilation is heavy would be like saying water is wet”, writes New Noise. “[It] is a ferocious display of intent which signifies the band’s potential to become a powerhouse”.
Metal is known for inciting mass headbanging. This year, metalheads continued to butt heads over an age-old question: natty or not?
Wrath of Logarius are plenty mysterious. But when it comes to this skeletal trio, the answer to that hard-hitting question is obvious. After all, they’re backed by none other than the legendary Lord Marco.
The Lord of the Blast lives up to his name on this new drum playthrough. Just watch how his fingers fly across the snare kit like little devils crashing through the gates of hell.
Formed in 2021 amidst the mist-shrouded forests of Northern California, Wrath of Logarius emerged as a formidable force in the world of extreme music. This black metal trio, consisting of Noctifer, Urath, and Vastator, set out to forge a new path with their unique genre known as Formless Black Metal.
Wrath of Logarius’ creative spark ignited as they embarked on their journey to create something different in black metal. Drawing inspiration from brutal blackened death and melodic post-black metal, the skeletal trio emerged with a new subgenre. ‘Necrotic Assimilation’ introduces pure Formless Black Metal, where the styles change within each song.
