Cruciamentum - Convocation Of Crawling Chaos [From the Vaults]


Cruciamentum have been featured a number of times previously.

This is their 2009 demo, which went on to be reissued by Nuclear Winter in 2011.

It features four tracks, none of which have been re-recorded for subsequent releases.

Convocation Of Crawling Chaos is a powerful doom-laden old school-style death metal debut.

These guys are yet to put a foot wrong, and stand head and shoulders above most of their contemporaries.

The EP is available to download on Bandcamp, or you can hunt down a physical copy here.

Incantation - Unholy Deification [REVIEW]

Image
Following the  Tricennial Of Blasphemy  compilation late last year, Incantation are back. This time with their twelfth full-length, Unholy Deification. This band doesn't have a bad album, and the bar is particularly high going into this one - following 2020's excellent Sect Of Vile Divinities, and other modern classics such as 2014's Dirges Of Elysium. ...and it doesn't disappoint. If anything, it surpasses expectations. Aggressive-but-accessible; well-written, well-executed; and it flows very well indeed. Just the right amount of dirt in the production, and also just the right amount of sheen. It's great to see a band still making inspired music more than three decades into their career. You can stream the release below, and purchase a copy here .

Deicide - Banished By Sin [Forthcoming Release]

Image
Banished By Sin is album number thirteen from these death metal legends. It has been six years since Deicide 's last effort, and has felt like longer thanks to this one having been teased for so long - it was announced seven months ago, and we only got to hear the first single (which can be found at the bottom of this post) on Christmas Day. It will finally be released on 26th April, brought to us by new label Reigning Phoenix Music. The last couple of albums were excellent, so hopes are very high going into this one.
