DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Here's the European version of this slab of black chaos, issued via French label Norma Evangelium Diaboli. The latest album from Spanish duo Teitanblood, Death offers what might be the band's most cacophonous blast of primitive death metal so far. There's been a noticeable descent into more formless depths of necrotic noise on their more recent releases, and Death offers a churning, violent mass of sound that already seems to have put off fans of the band who were looking for something a little more structured.
The album erupts with all of the chaos of an imploding star, an almost noisecore-level assault of frenzied hyperblast death-noise with formless chromatic riffing flying at insane speeds, screaming guitar solos splattering across the mix like gouts of acrid black bile, the drums instantly tangled up in a maelstrom of percussive noise, the vocals a gruesome, phlegmatic scream. Muted dissonant strings and bone-scraping noise drift in, a diseased ambient bridge to the almost thirteen minute battery of "Sleeping Throats Of The Antichrist" that follows. Bestial blackened death metal spills across the song with the same level of bulldozer intensity, shifting between blasting tempos and thrashing death metal, the guitars fused together into a carcinogenic black mass, a blur of grinding discordant riffage with delay-drenched solos shooting from the riffs like cancerous tendrils. From there, the band delves into even heavier passages of sludgy, doom-laden crush, sheets of dissonant feedback and amplifier noise seeping out of the boiling black death metal like gleaming viscera, stretches of pitch-black sepulchral ambience formed from chorales of dying angels, and an almost non-stop rush of gibbering, inchoate horror.
I've seen some folks accuse this album as being too chaotic, too murky, but I'm hearing plenty of massive riffs in here, barbaric hooks that often slip into strange, haunting atmospheric parts, huge churning grooves that crack the chaos apart like the meatgrinder sludge that takes over the final minutes of "Antichrist". The band blasts from one shambling necrotic passage to another, it's decayed gaze slipping from the crushing riffage to formless black rumble and then to ultra-violent noise that make parts of this reminiscent of the fearsome blackened noisecore/war metal of Intolitarian. They'll drop off into slow, tribal pounding adrift on waves of rumbling downtuned guitar, and on "Cadaver Synod" create a monotonous industrial noisescape where heavy, engine-like drones rumble incessantly through swarms of backwards sound and hissing reptilian voices. Teitanblood's deformed death metal is riddled with vicious tempo changes, suddenly spiraling out into gales of almost psychedelic fx-drenched shred that just as quickly dissolve into more of that gleaming electronic ambience and glacial percussive rumble. But with the last three songs on Death, the band delivers some of the heaviest stuff on the album, from the primitive, instrumental doom-laden heaviness of "Unearthed Veins" that becomes obscured by a haze of bizarre samples and noise, the thrashing chaos and deadly grooves of "Burning In Damnation Fires" stained with strange chant-like singing, and the closer "Silence Of The Great Martyrs". That last track starts off as a wash of eerie orchestral darkness that reminds me of some of the soundtrack work from de Ossorio's Blind Dead films, before hurtling into the final stretch of hellish blasting death metal, an ominous riff carried on rampaging blastbeats and cadaverous moans, dropping off into punishing slow-motion sludge befouled with mutant liturgical ambience and strange smears of backwards percussion. But then somewhere around the midway point, the death metal falls away completely, and it shifts into a sort of queasy modern classical ambience, with wavering dissonant strings suspended over distant gong-like percussion, creepy guttural chanting and bits of atonal piano rising out of the shadows, the whole piece transforming into something akin to something from Bartok or Penderecki, the hymn-like sound flowing like some blasphemous recreation of the Catholic Mass   © CRUCIAL BLAST
