Nightmare Traversal

dyingstarsinmyeyes Surrealistic, and fairly brutal, death metal with a paradoxically oldschool take on things nonetheless. A fresh nightmare traversal indeed.

rabid axolotl Brutal and strange, full of hypnotic riffs and crushing, claustrophobic yet expansive atmosphere. The best metal album I have heard in a very long time.

Contemporary death metal that skews the palette enough to push you beyond the comfort zone, whilst maintaining a level of OS worship to keep you hooked and banging your head. Favorite track: Oubliette.

1.
Body and structure become one. Instrument of removal. Hollow out the vessel that once hosted life. Omnipotence through will. Traverse the nightmare. Giant amongst gods.
2.
Tomb stones like teeth. Crypts like gaping mouths. Earth and blood merge into an unholy blubber. The black flame of death burns bright.
3.
Dwell the organic labyrinth. Internal compass out of kilter. Angular inconsistencies. A continuous sequence of vertical divisions enveloped by living tissue. Ariadne's thread ripped to shreds. Forever lost in Hell's maze.
4.
Oubliette 04:44
No return. All ways funnel into the sepulchral obelisk. Dead eyes Β  witness the protracted descent. The birthing place of ephialtes filled with concrete. Β  Winged metal spikes. Self removal through complete disintegration.
5.
Weaving flame through flesh. Β  Veneration of death. Gushing fire through apertures Supported by columns of flesh and bone.
6.
Edifice 05:48
An edifice towering over a tarmac wasteland. Abstract planes of asphalt and concrete. Woven into an incoherent unity. Devoid of life. Organic presence absent.
7.
Cronos 05:28
An intricate fabric of threads. Dials with puzzling consequences. Inexorable rearrangement of rock, metal and bone. Path of solitude.
