LUCIFIXION RELEASE "FERAL MASS" DEMO

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Sentient Ruin is proud to welcome into our family enigmatic raw black metal scourge Lucifixion. A venomous prelude of greater things to come, the here presented “Feral Mass” promo/demo tape is the inaugural death rite by this obscure American raw black metal pestilence, serving as antecedent and anticipator to the band’s forthcoming 2022 Sentient Ruin debut full-length LP.

LUCIFIXION PERPETRATES BLACK METAL TERROR EVER IN OBEISANCE TO THE TRINITY OF HIS EVER LOOMING TRIDENT.

DISGORGED FROM THE YAWNING MAW OF ABJECT DEATH, WE SHARPEN OUR BLADES AND BURN IN DEVOTION AND PASSION. THE WORK IS REPLETE IN MAELSTROMS OF RAW HELL, FANGS BARED AT GOD. POSSESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF VAUNTED LUMINARIES SUCH AS KATHARSIS, ARMAGEDDA, AND CRAFT. MANIC MAELSTROMS OF CHAOTIC RIFFS FRENETICALLY ASSAIL, AS THE LISTENER IS FORCED INTO OMNIPRESENT LUNACY BY WAY OF RIFFS SCOURGING FLESH FROM BONE. THIS IS BLACK METAL DONE THE OLD WAY, WITH AN ATTENTION TO BOTH COMPOSITION AND ATMOSPHERE, TEMPERED WITH FERAL OBEISANCE.

HERE LAYETH THE HAND THAT STIRS TO DEEDS OF BLOOD, THE THORNS THAT BLEED THE GODHEAD. RISE AND REVEAL!

The “Feral Mass” demo/promo was released on December 3 2021 on a limited edition cassette tape, and is available for purchase and streaming in full now via all our channels. The band’s official debut full-length offering is scheduled for a mid/late 2022 release on digital, tape and vinyl formats.

Slog’s debut album could easily be titled ‘Lessons in Esoteric Malice’ and anyone who listened to it would agree just how apt that namesake was. The band play a crushing blend of death doom, funeral doom and sludge that moves at a truly creeping pace. There’s an unstoppable force behind it, that of something monolithic. It feels as if it will roll over everything in its path simply crushing it beneath its weight. While heaviness is a key element, its actually the sense of malice behind the music that makes it so impactful. Prepare for moments of tension, haunting sinister riffs, powerful raw vocals, and most of all a depressive and all-encompassing essence that permeates every element of the release. Additionally, there’s a cavernous, echoed feel to the whole album that adds to the already unsettling nature of the release, particularly in regard to the vocals.

Given that the band is made up of Nicholas Turner and Jared Moran one can basically assume three things: 1) that this release will be of a high quality 2) that there will be pounding drum work and 3) that you’ll find wild meandering riffs. All three of these assumptions are in fact correct. However, the album is slightly different to the duo’s previous collaborative efforts due to the reduced tempo and energy of the album.

So, embark on the path of most resistance and prepare to be crushed by the immense weight of Slog.
