In a sea of unoriginal, serviceable but nonetheless great OSDM, bands like Abyssal really know how to stick out. Read more ›› |

Feel like these guys just invented Ambient Death Metal with this. Some of the tracks are just gloriously shape-free, yet sustain that OSDM atmosphere. The others only vaguely conform to death metal rules but nail it with the totally alien, freeform guitar work. Only 1 listen so far but I could easily see this being their best, seems like they carved out something unique to them here, instead of going for straight up Portal-intensity worship.

First impression is that it's not quite as good as Antikatastaseis, but they're way ahead of the pack as usual. Gotta spend more time with it.

Holy hell this might just be the heaviest thing I've heard all year. "Ambient death metal" is indeed a worthy descriptor.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 24.06.2019 at 08:18 Yeah kinda. I'd probably say Chaos Echoes are still the weirder, more left field band with an eerie, neutral sound. Whereas this is still kind of suffocating like some traditional OSDM.

Isn't this just cavernous death metal with more hall in the sound?

Halfway in and getting dISEMBOWELMENT vibes with what there going for, albeit more pace.

Absolutely hate the production here. The music might be good (I stopped at track 4), but the sound just ruins it for me

Yep,I approve the intensity, craziness and chaos presented here. I love how this band changes the style a bit between albums, while staying recognizable. Amazing record.

Written by Rulatore on 26.06.2019 at 05:09 The production helps give it that foreboding vibe. I think it's a great record but it's not a record for all occasions.
