DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Something different from the Black Twilight Circle. This one-sided 12" is a reissue of Muknal's three song debut cassette that came out on Crepúsculo Negro early in 2012, and it's impressive stuff, a mix of murky blackened death metal that comes from the Incantation school of cavernous doom-laden crush, the use of electronic textures and noises that border on the psychedelic, and sprawling mesmeric blastscapes. The opener "Cruciation" instantly grips the listener with its dissonant sludgy, eerie death metal riffs and delay-drenched guitar textures that writhe over the pounding blastbeats and agonized howls and depraved, puking vocals, echoing through a vast cavernous chamber filled with streaks of strange high end noise, eerie droning synths and sudden shifts into rumbling, spacey heaviness. Those freakish guitar and sudden bursts of cosmic keyboard noises that appear throughout the track (and the rest of the Ep) give this a unique feel, and elevate this above much of the occult-obsessed black/death metal out there. Troglodytic, spacey death-visions that sound like they could have easily have been spawned in the deep-earth chamber featured on the jacket's cover. The other tracks are equally chaotic and strange, with "Rotten Genesis" slipping into lumbering, rotten doomdeath smeared with those bizarre processed guitar squeals and scrapes, and closer "Eidolon" offering another suffocating blast-ritual bathed in the band's ghastly ambience and frenzied black energy. This is an album that demands to be experienced while in the throes of some kind of chemical enhancement. Definitely my kind of death metal.
Fans of the recent upswell in Incantation-worship (especially that coming from the more surreal-sounding practicioners like Dead Congregation, Mitochondrion, Antediluvian, Vasaeleth and Impetuous Ritual) will defintitely want to check this band out, but Muknal also share some of the strange, mind-bending cavernous qualities of Negative Plane's last album, making this much more than just another Incanto-clone. © CRUCIAL BLAST
