UK death metal alchemists GRAVE MIASMA have completed work on their debut full-length LP which they’ve christened “Odori Sepulcrorum”.
Following up their “Exalted Emanation” debut EP and their “Realm Of Evoked Doom” compilation EP respectively, “Odori Sepulcrorum” is a audial summoning where occult progressive death metal levitation exalts itself as GRAVE MIASMA have created an album that will serve its purpose as a pillar in the realm of death metal artistry.
Harnessing that uncanny dark, cryptic, and haunting atmosphere through unrelenting death metal hypnosis and ambience, where the clarity and power of the production and instrumentation does not become forsaken, “Odori Sepulcrorum” is an album which embraces the ancient death metal spirit in its most powerful aesthetic while creating an enrapturing unparalleled death metal vision that’s solely defines itself as GRAVE MIASMA’s oeuvre. The result being an opus that will be recognized as the death metal milestone for our cursed age.
Produced, engineered, captured and mixed on analog format through the means of vintage equipment by Jaime Gomez Arellano at Orgone Studios, along with being graced with artwork courtesy of Denis Forkas, “Odori Sepulcrorum” is set to be unleashed in conspiracy with Germany’s Sepulchral Voice officially on 13.9.13 (Sept 17th in North America for retail/distributor adherence).

Premonições: Ævangelist-Omen Ex Simulacra
Este é primeiro avanço para o album "Omen Ex Simulacra" a editar em breve pela Debemur Morti Productions
Lightsystem-Lost Language
Muito provavelmente estamos perante um dos albuns mais demolidores de 2013, não que isto seja uma peça de destruição massiva, mas pelo efeito viajante que provoca durante a audição.
Esta banda americana afirma-se e deixa a concorrencia a leguas com este registo, mais, se ainda choram o fim de Isis, este projeto é muito mais que um simples ombro amigo para largar umas lagrimas resultantes do funeral da banda do Turner, e podem esquecer o novo de Palms que ao pé deste "Lost Language" quase que não é nada.
Afirmação forte e provocatoria?
Talvez sim, mas depois de ouvirem esta hora certamente tambem me vão dar alguma razão é que o hibrido sonoro que vagueia entre alguns dos nomes maiores do corrente universo Post-Rock aqui não só é refinado como a substancia que se extrai é de uma cristalidade e clareza que nos atravessa a alma e deixa a pensar que raio se passou aqui..
Por entre momentos brilhantes de peso e ambiencias algo cosmicas a banda americana consegue criar de uma forma absolutamente brilhante um dos registos mais envolventes e carismaticos dos ultimos tempos, brincando, juntando e inovando num estilo onde quase já se ouviu tudo ou aparentemente tudo.
A voz do Danny Byrne é outro dos destaques do album, sendo basicamente o ponto de equilíbrio entre o lado cosmico da parte instrumental com um certo lado mais humano que as faixas transmitem depois no seu todo, originando uma estranha dualidade onde a envolvencia ganha os tais contornos mais planantes como se isto fosse uma especie de ascenção até ao grande oceano negro.
Estranhamente olhando para a capa do album é essa uma das ideias que fica.
Alguns albuns procuram isso mesmo, jogar um pouco com o lado surreal e fazer com a musica nos consiga tirar ou fazer sair algo de nós e este album na minha opinião não só o consegue fazer como nos deixa ainda depois estaticos bem lá em cima..
Influencias mais notorias presentes aqui vão dos obvios Isis, aperfectcircle, Deftones, Cerna, Tool, GIAA, Godspeed! etc a timidez do shoegaze tambem se afirma e tudo isto misturado origina um dos albuns mais surpreendentes que ouvi nestas ultimas semanas.
Recomendadissimo, não deixem que isto vos passe ao lado, podem escutar o album aqui:

Premonições: Oathbreaker "No Rest For The Weary" video/ album cover/ and track list
Presented by CVLTNATION.COM
Video by Jeroen Mylle & Fabrice Parent Taken from "Eros|Anteros" the new album from OATHBREAKER.
CD/LP/Digital in stores August 20th.
Pre-ordering will be announced soon.
"Eros|Anteros" is the breathtaking follow up to Oathbreaker's critically acclaimed "Maelstrom" album (Deathwish 2011). Where "Maelstrom" acted as individual fragments of aural shrapnel, "Eros|Anteros" is a monstrous shockwave of sound. It is Oathbreaker's story of love and the anti-love (life and death), and the growth they have experienced through these trials.
In opener "Beeltenis" (Dutch for "Portrait") layers of melodious guitar cry out to one another through the blackness. Acting as a ghostlike warning before Oathbreaker whips calm to chaos. "No Rest for the Weary" then abruptly crashes forward with breakneck speed and from there the floodgates of "Eros|Anteros" are open. As vocalist Caro Tanghe lets out the hair raising screams of "I'll never know what it means - this deadly calm inside", it's clear that this album is more potent and personal than most heavy music; this is a collective soul searching for the band. This is most apparent in brother and sister songs "As I Look Into the Abyss" and "The Abyss Looks Into Me". A stunning pairing that shows Oathbreaker racing through razor sharp metallic riffing before erupting into a vicious emotional explosion. This quarrel continues throughout the "Eros|Anteros", finally coming to a head in the haunting closer "Clair Obscur". A brilliant eleven minute epic that carefully balances shoe-gaze leanings with their wounded post-metal heart.
