PRESS RELEASE:
SHURIKEN CADAVERIC ENTWINEMENT – CONSTRUCTING THE CATACLYSM
LABEL: COMATOSE MUSIC
RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 5th 2022
They pour through the demon gate, the hungry ghosts and the bringers of plague; the Oni with their horns and tusks and skin the colour of sickness. Driven on by Enma, Lord of Hell, they come like an endless tide, whipped into a frothing fury by their colossal hunger for human flesh. Yet all that awaits them is the steel of our katanas, the wicked blades of our naginatas, our resplendent banners of war and a code of honour stronger than death...
Drawing on the complex history and vibrant mythology of the samurai, the powerful warrior caste of feudal Japan, Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement have carved out their own kingdom of intense and characterful death metal. It’s been nearly a decade since multi-instrumentalist Jordan Varela (Lust Of Decay) and vocalist Jay Barnes (Cesspool Of Vermin) unveiled their second album, Resuscitating The Vile and it seemed that the demonic duo may have fallen on their swords, consigning Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement to the dust of ages. However the silence has now been irrevocably shattered as third album, Constructing The Cataclysm tears its way from the creative womb! Featuring eight songs of fiercely implacable death metal, bristling with riffs like lethal weapons and Barnes’ unmistakeable devilish growls and howls, this album takes Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement to new levels of intensity and sheer class. From the opening war cry of ‘Insurrection Of The Diabolical’, through the malicious torments of ‘Insidious Spiritual Incarceration’ to the classic death metal magnificence of the climactic title track, Constructing The Cataclysm is a towering monolith of pure death metal, the perfect representation of Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement’s sound and approach. Domineering drumming, powerful melodies and classic yet inventive riffing bring a battlefield of gods, demons and legends to vivid, visceral, screaming life!
It may have been a long time coming, but Constructing The Cataclysm sees Varela and Barnes return stronger than ever before. When Comatose Music unleash this beast of war on August 5th there will be no denying the overwhelming power and potency of Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement. Recorded at Audio Helm Studios with Mike Clevenger, Constructing The Cataclysm possesses an incendiary sound that combines clarity of delivery with a snarling, venomous power. The final touch of magic has been applied by Andreas Christanetoff of Armaada Art (Aborted, Kraanium, NecroticGoreBeast etc) with some stunning samurai cover art. Armoured once more in the scales of the serpent god of war, Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement have returned and the cataclysm is nigh!
