Sigilo
SIGILO, the latest manifestation of mastermind Selvmord's decade-long dedication to black metal. Emerging from the ashes of previous projects like Mournkind, SIGILO represents a new chapter of clarity and purpose for Selvmord's compositions. While "Sermão" marks SIGILO's debut under this new moniker, it also serves as a powerful precursor to their forthcoming debut album, "Gloria ad Inferi", hinting at the grim sonic landscapes to come.
Duarte "Selvmord" Pombo shares his vision for the project: "The time has come to unveil Sigilo to the world. This project was not merely created — it was channeled through me, a vessel for something far greater: the music itself. I’m deeply honored to be welcomed by Fernando Ribeiro and AMR as the first Black Metal act in their history. It's also a privilege to share this milestone with Luxúria de Lillith — a shining example of the enduring power of one-man Black Metal. There are moments in life when everything aligns and purpose becomes clear. For me, that moment is now."
2014 was the begining of Selvmord's journey as a Black Metal artist. Many experiments were done in various projects, from which Mournkind was the most relevant. In 2019 Mournkind ceassed their activities, and this was the first step toward the creation of Sigilo.
A new sense of clarity and purpose was key to Sigilo's music. Oportunity came through signing with Alma Mater Records and the Split "Sermão" with Luxúria de Lillith
