Today’s review is of Basque Death Metal band Pestilength’s new album.
This release is essentially dissonant and apocalyptic Death Metal in the likes of early Morbid Angel and Immolation, with the blackened and nightmarish approach of Portal, although this release has a rawer production that approaches it further to Black Metal while maintaining similar atmospheres. You will also find some Doom-ish riffs that bring Spectrum Mortis to mind, though this full-length delves into a much more abstract soundscape with only the demented vocals to guide you through their hellish blend of dissonance and oppressiveness. My personal highlights are “Engtlant Suhb” and “Tephra Codex”.
recommend this album to fans of Death Metal, Dissonant/Atmospheric Death Metal, Blackened Death Metal and Blackened Doom Metal. My rating is of 9/10
