April 13, 2018
viralstampede

In an intense and abyssal offering titled With Inexorable Suffering, Our Place Of Worship Is Silence offers seven new tracks of dark and twisted death metal. This release is one that is as oppressive as it is dehumanizing as it seems to have a complete disregard to life all together. With Inexorable Suffering isn’t a record that is meant to make you feel comfortable as it makes your skin crawl and your blood boil from beginning to end. This offering is an acute and completely pummeling record that gets right in your face from the onset.

With Inexorable Offering is both punishing and atmospheric all at once, supplying you with a truly damning and soul tearing sound. Each track is an oppressive force to be reckoned with as you become buried under droves of malicious and rotting death. Never do you get peace of mind and never do you get a chance to rest as Our Place Of Worship Is Silence shovels out track after track of flesh masticating metal that tears you to shreds. This is a devilish and malevolent record that buries you under droves of terrifying and skin crawling death.

Not only does death metal appear in Our Place Of Worship Is Silence’s sound as smatterings of grind and black metal can be found as well. Both the grind and black metal influences are woven in to the death metal foundation seamlessly making the overall sound cohesive and natural. Never does one genre muddy the sound as each one works hand in hand to create an overall malevolent and hellish sound. Our Place Of Worship Is Silence has an overall sickening and monstrous sound that crushes you beneath its mighty weight.

From beginning to end With Inexorable Suffering is a top notch death metal record. The instrumentation is great, the vocal deliveries are excellent and the overall production caps everything off to provide you with a wonderfully dark, dehumanizing and ultimately bone crushing release. The sound is cohesive, wonderfully abyssal and completely neck snapping. With Inexorable Suffering is a complete aural assault as it gifts you with seven tracks of nothing but all around solid rotting death metal. In my opinion this is one of the most solid and memorable death metal releases so far this year.

The old-school style of death metal is tried and true, and more and more newer death metal bands are taking to the old-school approach. Some bands hit the nail on the head while others fall short. Boethiah fall in to the former category. Boethiah take cues from their death metal forefathers but certainly create a sound all their own. Invocation of the Xenolith is riddled with nine blood craving and flesh starved tracks of nothing but shredding and lobotomizing death metal. This is straight forward death, nothing but. From beginning to end you come face to face with grisly effort after grisly effort that aim only to mutilate and snap necks.

Invocation of the Xenolith is a bleeding raw and unfiltered release, one that presents you with an oh so welcome ancient sound of ancient death. Kept raw and untamed, Invocation of the Xenolith presents you with a sound that hearkens back to when death metal first began to appear through a mist of crimson. This merciless record pours its sickness out in massive proportions as it nearly immediately begins to deflesh and gut you from the onset. Each track within Invocation of the Xenolith is just as brutalizing and terrorizing as the last track that came to take your life as Boethiah rattle off track after track of pure terror. These New Mexico and California natives firmly dig their blade into your throat from the very beginning never to relent until your head is rolling in the dirt and its contents have been dug out.

Each of the nine tracks within this blood letting offering support pretty substantial run times giving Boethiah plenty of time to carve your corpse however they see fit. Through each track you will get a taste of some doom aspects that are reminiscent of Autopsy as well as pure flesh shredding and marrow draining sonic onslaughts. These components work hand in hand to provide you with an overall skull grinding and flesh carving sound that is hard to want to stop listening to. Each of the nine tracks that appear throughout Invocation of the Xenolith are wonderfully crafted and executed providing you with nothing but pure, relentless and gutting death in monstrous proportions.

From the very beginning you get that wonderful tepid whiff of foul ancient offal that ultimately follows you throughout. This is old-school death metal done in the modern era to a tee. There isn’t a track here that is lacking anything as each and every one of the nine tracks throughout are superbly done. For a debut full length, Invocation of the Xenolith certainly is impressive and addictive. You won’t be able to get enough of this record. With its ever menacing atmosphere, its ever charging onslaught of mutilating death and much more, Invocation of the Xenolith is an all around excellent record.

Sepolcro: Undead Abyss

April 1, 2018
viralstampede

Rising from bloodied coffins in 2011, Sepolcro had released a demo in 2013 titled Festering Evocation, then in 2016 they released a split titled Horrendous Plasmation before splitting. Two years later-earlier this year-these mutilators reconvened to continue their rampage of sickness and death.

Undead Abyss is the title of their upcoming offering which features three brand new tracks that are grisly and rotten to the core. Sepolcro begin Undead Abyss with the wonderfully titled “Bone Totem”, which begins with an ominous doom centered sound that creeps slowly and ominously through your speakers. Bone Totem is the “slowest” track on this demo as it trudges forth at a slow to mid tempo providing you with an appropriate taste of what is to come, and what is to come is sickening and perverse death in heaping doses.

From Bone Totem on you are greeted with two more lacerating and maiming tracks. Nothing here is filler or fluff as Sepolcro blast forth with murderous and malicious intent. With buzzing riffs, ever pummeling drumming and blood thirsty vocals, Sepolcro offer up nasty and stagnant death in droves. In three tracks Sepolcro provide you with unfiltered, raw and blood drenched death that is intent on severing your spine before things are all said and done. The remaining two tracks after the opener are more uptempo offerings that blast and chip away at your skull from the very beginning never to relent.

As short as Undead Abyss is it surely packs quite a punch. With only three tracks to its name, Undead Abyss offers up sick, twisted and gnarled death that that seems to have it out for anyone that wants to listen. This is a solid demo overall and it will be interesting to see where Sepolcro takes things from here, but for now we are left with three defiling and deadly tracks to snap our collective necks to.

Undead Abyss will be released May 15, 2018
