SUSPIRAL RE-RELEASE "DELVE INTO THE MYSTERIES OF TRANSCENDENCE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Galician psychedelic black metal conjurors Suspiral announce a glorious and much needed reissue of their immense and highly overlooked 2016 debut LP “Delve into the Mysteries of Transcendence"  via Sentient Ruin with an official release date set to April 2 2020. All formats are now (pre)ordeable on our webshop and Bandcamp.

Finally available again in its ultimate and most destructive form, "Delve into the Mysteries of Transcendence" gets remastered, re-designed, and re-packaged for Sentient Ruin, a revisitation aimed at celebrating and rediscovering one of underground black metal's most unique, underrated and feral releases. Influenced by some of the most savage extreme metal progenitors like Beherit, Necrovore, Morbid Angel and Sadistik Execution, and fueled by overwhelming consumptions of psychedelics, "Delve into the Mysteries of Transcendence" is an abhorrent trip deep inside the psyche's most deconstructed and annihilated states, where a psychoactive and aberrant strain of raging atmospheric black metal serves as the primal hallucinogen to obliterate consciousness and dissolve reality in a violent and and feral ritual of total aural disassociation. 

Originally released in 2016 on vinyl by now defunct Spanish label Equinox Discos, and on CD by I Voidhanger Records, with this new Sentient Ruin reissue, this unforgivably underrated experimental black metal masterpiece sees its first ever release on cassette format, while entirely new and restored digital and vinyl products are offered with remastered audio and a brand new graphic layout that consecrates and re-enhances the immensity of one of extreme metal's most overlooked, obscure and devastating hidden gems.

Galician mystical black death sorcerers Suspiral were formed in 2014 by A.T. (Sheidim, Black Earth, Krossfyre) and M.S. (Arkaik Excruciation, Sudaria, Scythe), after the duo had envisioned a black/death entity of otherworldly and alien traits dominated by two opposite but coexisting souls: on one side the raw and unforgiving darkness and aggression of bands like Thou Shalt Suffer, Necrovore, early Emperor and Satyricon, Katharsis, Sadistik Exekution, Beherit, Samael, along with the repetitive, vorticose and abstract patterns of more ritualistic, trance inducing, and meditative entities like Ash Ra Tempel and other Kraut and drone bands on the other. The improbable sonic design was meticulously planned and executed by the duo and that same year their debut EP Dawn of Kezef saw the light spawned in a wake of ruinous black/death destruction set against a chasm of disorienting and sensorially devastating psychedelic patterns and repetitions. The rawer sound of this debut EP soon evolved into what became their mind-alterating debut album Delve into the Mysteries of Transcendence, released in 2016 on famed Italian extreme metal label I Voidhanger Records. While maintaining its devastating black/death metal assault, Delve into the Mysteries of Transcendence, was an album cloaked in otherworldly and enveloping atmospheres and drenched in mystery and alien psychedelic mysticism, conceptually rooted in experiences with psychoactive drugs as a means of transcendence, and more specifically with experiences obtained under the influence of DMT. The band’s second full length entitled Chasm is slated for a 2019 release on Sentient Ruin in the USA and Clavis Secretorvm in Europe, and is yet another sensorially devastating work which further dramatizes the band’s innate and ever-evolving duality of unrelenting and lawless black/death sonic annihilation juxtaposed to its deeply mystical and entrancing atmospheres.

CATHARTIC DEMISE RELEASE DRUM PLAYTHROUGH VIDEO FOR "BLADE IN THE DARK"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Kitchener (ON) - Progressive Death/Thrash Metal quartet CATHARTIC DEMISE have released a drum playthrough video for the song "Blade In The Dark," the second single from forthcoming album In Absence. The video features Angus Pike and can be viewed at youtu.be/PLXYCnYPfBM

CATHARTIC DEMISE will release full-length album In Absence on April 9. Pre-order at: catharticdemise.bandcamp.com/album/in-absence

In comparison to the band's self-titled EP, In Absence still consists of the Melo/Prog/Death Thrash Metal elements, but with a more "mature" approach. The overall musicianship within the band improved, as well as the overall songwriting capabilities. In Absence features the same aggression as the self-titled EP, but brings an intense atmosphere with extreme tempos, and brisk riffs. This release heavily carries on the epic melodic sections heard previously, and even going further with more complex song structuring and longer tracks. Aside from the aggressive side of things, hints of experimentation can be heard, showing slower sections, and clean parts as well.

"A masterclass in classic progressive thrash music offering a unique sound that only Cathartic Demise can offer."

- Brutalism

BIO:

The thought of Cathartic Demise came into fruition on October 8, 2017, after high school friends Angus Pike (drums) and Bennett Smith (guitar/vocals) jammed for the first time, and immediately decided to form a group. Bennett had demos previously prepared, (two of the EP songs) and the week after Aaron Tanner would join the lineup, following a few weeks with Taylor Wroblewski (guitar) quickly completing the quartet. The four rehearsed immensely over a eight-month period landing their first show September 16, 2018. In December of 2018, the band entered into HM Studio, to record the self titled three-track EP Cathartic Demise, released April 26, 2019. For the rest of the year, the band played around Ontario, and in January 2020, Cathartic Demise would begin the recording sessions of In Absence.
