GOREPHILIA (Finland) - In The Eye Of Nothing (new LP copy) (2020) Released by Me Saco Un Ojo Records on Traditional Black vinyl - Crushing, adventurous Finnish Death Metal with a strong focus on the riffs, where it should be. A triumph considering what the band went through since their last album, the tragic suicide death of their original lead vocalist Henri Emil Kuula (aka Nemesis) on December 3rd, 2018.

At a time when hybrid styles are taking over, there are still Death Metal bands like GOREPHILIA that remain faithful to a more orthodox approach, linked to a more visceral side of the genre. This greater conservatism, besides conveying the artist's aesthetic taste, also preserves the legacy of earlier bands that helped to build the foundations of the Death Metal genre.

With their first EP and two subsequent full-lengths, Finnish GOREPHILIA clearly positioned themselves on that conservative side of the barricade without, however, remaining static. While their debut album Embodiment of Death displayed a heavy, dense sound, sometimes bordering on Brutal Death Metal, their 2017 follow-up Severed Monolith has already shown a more atmospheric, murky approach.

This mutation has revealed an adversity to stagnation that is quite relevant, showing not only an exciting creative impulse but also a markedly open personality (within this style).

GOREPHILIA has never released the same album twice, and In The Eye Of Nothing is no exception. With a refined Morbid Angel-esque approach, the band enters the new decade with its most polished release to date. It is a testimony to obscure elegance and an indispensable addition to any refined Death Metal collection. Me Saco Un Ojo Records – MSUO132
