Second album from Terra, the black metal band from Cambridge, England.
Incorporating elements of Drone and Post-rock, Terra create a unique and intense form of obscure music with dark, brooding bass lines and terrific elemental drumming creating an experience that ebbs, flows, leaps and soars through a panoply of emotions, textures and moods.
"In the final reckoning Mors Secunda is an incredibly immersive, incredibly hypnotic, and atmospheric piece of work. There’s no doubt about that. But it’s not necessarily a welcoming or hospitable experience. It’s grim, and it’s forbidding, and well worth every second of your time" Andy Sinn-NO CLEAN SINGING
"Terra’s self-titled debut blew us away last year with it’s vast, Wolves In The Throne Room-esque atmospherics, furious blastbeats and passionate Weakling style riffs, but the trio have outdone themselves with this follow-up. Consisting of two lengthy tracks (one for each side of the record), it’s their most ambitious and compositionally intricate work yet." Kez Whelan-TERRORIZER MAGAZINE

This whole album is flawless. This is music for walking in the rain and letting your thoughts run. It's not just a collection of songs, but an actual album. yakbone
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
