Vthelygmia

by CHESTCRUSH

David Fischer Vthelygmia is not as brutal and remorseless as the bandname and album cover would make you think - it goes far beyond that. These 28 minutes feel like being slaughtered, hacked to bits, gutted, and fully disintegrated afterwards. A wild combination of influences, you will hear elements of black and death metal, deathcore (especially in the excellent production and vocal department), some disturbing ambience and slight touches of doom. Immensely violent, utterly satisfying, and just brilliant. Favorite track: Grudge.

Christophorus Andernatus Some real nasty genre combos right here. Be early and fucking buy it, these guys have an air of underground stardom about them. Favorite track: Skullcrush.

j-kep Holy everloving hell these dudes are pissed as fuck. This is awesome stuff. It’s ugly and mean and crunchy and violent and you need to listen to it. Favorite track: Theocracyst.

You act on default By your restricted perception In a theocratical sewage You’re a shit congregation You treat common sense As a sickening of the mind To rationalize irrational laws You corrupt everything in sight Your lies are so absurd I can’t even comprehend Human fucking waste Nothing but a waste of air It’s the least worst you’ve ever been And you’re still a disgrace We are cursed with self-aware The realization of our own death But the meaning of life is That there is nothing, nothing else there
