CENOTAFIO (Chile) -  Larvae Tedeum Teratos (new LP copy) (2019) Released by Blood Harvest on Traditional Black vinyl - limited to 300 copies. (LP IMPORTED FROM SWEDEN) 
"Larvae Tedeum Teratos" saw CENOTAFIO cement their position as one of Chile's best new-breed Black/Death bands - no mean feat, given the rich history of Chilean underground Metal and its ever-thriving scene that's arguably even stronger today. Then again, the duo comprising CENOTAFIO are no mere newcomers, as both members have been playing in a number of hordes for over a decade, but both together in the esteemed INVEHERTEX.
Nevertheless, as CENOTAFIO, the duo of drummer/vocalist Patricio Kusnir and guitarist/bassist/vocalist Daniel Hermosilla have created a considerable canon in just five years together. A demo and a couple singles introduced the band initially, but it was 2017's "La Fatídica Excrecencia De La Subtierra" debut album which put CENOTAFIO's supremely sepulchral ways on the 
international Metal map. 
Amazingly, the duo topped that album with their
2019 follow-up "Larvae Tedeum Teratos." 
A more concise but somehow 
simultaneously more sprawling work, CENOTAFIO's second full-length album spread 
tendrils of terror and tension across the helpless listener and  refused to relent its dread hold. 
Effortlessly shifting between ripped 
'n' roiling speed and drowning-in-the-deep Doom, Larvae Tedeum Teratos 
created a horrific world, its ceaselessly humid and punishingly physical
 sound-field wielded as almost an instrument onto itself. 
Blackened Death Metal, Deathened Black Metal, Black-Death-Doom, whatever you want to call
 it: CENOTAFIO have truly arrived with this album.
