Mutilation Rites - Chasm LP
MUTILATION RITES (NY, USA) - Chasm (2018) Blood Red/Bone White Merge vinyl. It's clear that "Chasm" is MUTILATION RITES's hardest hitting, most visceral and immediate effort. This album is far more reminiscent of its tried and true strength; an ability to craft material that's just as relentless as it is hypnotic. The transitions flow naturally and seamlessly. Consider it atmospheric Black/Death Metal if you will, but "atmosphere" isn’t the guiding flame as "Chasm" is gorged with the groove-hurling ashes of early 90’s Black and Death Metal riffs. This is ‘current’ in the sense that many bands are toying with alternating combinations of black and death metal with extended song-lengths and atmospheric candor. Don't miss this!
