Under the Radar - MŮRA



Můra is a Czech band, and this is their (outstanding) debut release.

Doom Invocations And Narcotic Rituals is a two track EP, which clocks in at just under twenty minutes.

Death-doom with some black metal elements here; it could be filed next to Cavurn or Krypts.

The only physical release has been a limited edition cassette from Caligari, but you can also download it on Bandcamp (and stream it below).

We very much look forward to hearing more from these guys.

Deicide - Banished By Sin [Forthcoming Release]

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.

The three main tracks are outstanding - circa 16.5 minutes of premium death-doom. These guys are often compared to  Incantation , which is fair but certainly no bad thing, and on this release they represent the most enjoyable side of that style and do so extremely well. Next we have a cover of  Morbid Angel 's Pain Divine, which is perfectly decent but doesn't fit all that well with the preceding material. Digital customers then also get a cover of Vulgar Necrolatry by Abhorrence, which probably fits better with core EP but has a very different production to the rest of the package. Essentially - we would recommend buying the three original tracks on  Bandcamp  and burning yourself a CD, assuming that you are a fan of consistency at least. On that basis, Immaculate Pain can is o...
