Factory sealed. <>Droning sounds strike in with a simple and unsettling ambience, primal yet evocative. Marching drums and distorted vocals along with drawn out guitars build a monstrous tension, growing and warping with mightily foul reverberations, signalling that total devastation lies ahead. The behemoth drums pummel in a tribal fashion betwixt lurking guitars to a more ethereal guitars, counting down to obliteration. The bestial rampage of visceral instrumental violence and barbarian vocals soon delivers total carnage in pure tormenting fashion with no remorse. The ghastly stringed reverberations are shaken by pulverising drums in a way that only magnifies the vocal incantations while working as a unit to create an oppressive and unwieldy ambience with that old Canadian black-death Metal attack that is the rarely matched in pure violent spirit. Contorting bass lines dance around the guitars, giving a far more expansive feel than many of Antediluvian’s contemporaries, for after all, this creation is very difficult to compare to another. Funereal marches and war-torn shelling deliver as little respite as each other with unrepentant and truly defiant soundscapes bounding off of each other in something that could be describe as an abyssal dance. The undefined nature of whatever perverse progressions occur throughout this record makes for perhaps some of the most volatile music you will ever hear. The bestial black metal and striking death metal extremity has so much discourse and mayhem surrounding the more traditional elements, it would be easy for this album to incur some form of lapse in psyche as the daunting music, punishing as it is, tempts you with tendrils of barbarity and juxtaposed sonic intricacies. With a name like Antediluvian, new listeners can take warning of such foul apparitions to occur, as the name invokes images of something ancient and mysterious yet of enormous magnitude that will lie in slumber until its awakening unleashes something indescribable. Naturally, anything by this band will never be an easy listen, which rings true here as much as ever. A firestorm of unpleasant, invasive and cruel soundscapes conjure deathly images in the mind with torturous and excellent results. Definitely we see a case of something created for the few and not the many, though likely with the intent of merely satisfying the musicians without regard for mass appeal. In this, we see them achieve a lucid hypnosis that is nightmarish and yet inescapably tempting with its heavily layered and intriguing sounds. Potent is the theme of sexual magic and release, which is present throughout the album. Ritualistic desire and perversities are contorted into such inhuman yet primitively ecstatic forms on this release, that it feels like a rite in its own right. Primordial lust, carnal desire, those ancient impulses are granted, unbound and exposes in their full glory here. Lurching, spasming instruments give way to chanting and invocations of death with malicious blasting drums and cascades of sadistic riffs opening portals of infinite depth before springing into something almost resplendent before the chaos and demented extremity chokes all light once more. “Near-death experiences (NDEs) are complex subjective experiences, which have been previously associated with the psychedelic experience and more specifically with the experience induced by the potent serotonergic, N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT).”1. This hypothesis could perhaps give some insight into what listening to this album feels like, though of course I believe experiences will differ almost entirely from person to person, which is part of what makes this such an interesting listen. Revisits to this album will likely yield hugely varied experience dependent on local and personal factors while the core of the music retains the primal and morbid spirit that black and death Metal will never shake while done properly. The beings of the darkness call through this vibrant opus and will reach out to those with a receptive mind, so listen with caution but expect greatness for those ready to truly appreciate such finesse and expansion. Or enjoy it for the crushing sound and remarkable delivery, the choice is yours. Either way, this is an unforgettable and magnificent black/death metal album that cannot be missed. An otherworldly yet firmly grounded listen of pure unrelenting Black-Death Metal obliteration. Sincere and unapologetic in all of its death-worshipping glory, this is not an album for the meek or uncertain as it will destroy such weaknesses with pleasure. This is a soundtrack to descent, rebirth and personal synthesis with the darkness. Expansive is a word that has to be redefined upon listening to this triumphant piece of artistry, as this takes ritualistic and scathing music into new territories without totally casting asunder the ways of old, ensuring that while carving its own path, this remains a black/death metal record at the end of the day, if one like no other. - Metal Archives ____________________________________________________ If you purchase multiple items, use Ebay's shopping cart - I use their shipping calculator to calculate postage.
