DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Now available on vinyl courtesy of 20 Buck Spin, with Antichrist Kramer's cosmic monstrosities blown up to terrifying size.
In what seems to be an increased competition among newer death metal bands all trying to out-murk one another within the absolute depths of inchoate, gurgling horror, the adipocerous-smeared duo Vasaeleth continue to rise above the fray. While certainly taking seed in the blood-soaked soil of that murky, dissonant
Onward To Golgotha-influenced din that fuels this contempo filth revival, Vasaeleth focuses on carving out some intensely heavy, sludge-encrusted riffs that give their music a more visceral assault while also crafting their own unique form of wind-tunnel charnel-house ambience, which we were first introduced to with the band's 2010 debut album on Profound Lore,
Crypt Born And Tethered To Ruin.
On the band's latest release, a five song, nineteen minute EP titled
All Uproarious Darkness, Vasaeleth quotes from French surrealist poet René Crevel while adorning the record with the nightmarish, phantasmagoric artwork of terminal void-crawler Antichrist Kramer, and offers another deep, eye-rotting gaze into churning Lovecraftian chaos, set to a crushing and nicely gnarled death metal assault. The band's shambling, reverb-drenched death-visions are plenty chaotic, each song a seething black tangle of buzzsaw guitars and pounding caveman blastbeats, discordant minor-key tremolo riffs and gaseous guttural growls seeping up out of the cracks in the earth like sulfurous fumes from Vasaeleth's subterranean sonic pit, laced with lots of gargling sepulchral ambience and some maleficent melodies that the band masterfully weaves into their ultra-complex deathblast. The guys in Vasaeleth have always been pretty adept at slipping into punishing passages of slow-motion atmospheric reptilian doomdeath, which they do on tracks like "Black Curse Upheld" and "Fathomless Wells Of Ruin". Of course, those moments echo with that heavy Incantation influence, but the bulk of this disc delivers a faster-paced maelstrom-blur of swarming black dungeon rot that Vasaeleth end up transforming into a sound of their own. One of the more imaginative death metal bands that are currently drawing from that classic Incanta-crush to create their own vision of cavernous, rumbling horror, which in my mind is right up there alongside the likes of Teitanblood, Antediluvian and Grave Miasma. Recommended.
