BENEDICTION - The Grand Leveller · RED/YELLOW SPLATTER LP
Red vinyl with yellow splatter. More about 'The Grand Leveller' “The Grand Leveller” showcases the epitome of what old school death metal is all about: one dimensional, gruff vocals with thick and catchy riffs played over a hefty dose of pounding drums! The album is steeped in a dissonant and hazy sound, one that gives off an almost underground feeling to the music. However, this is a by-product of the excellent production, which creates such a gritty atmosphere all the while, giving each musician their fair share of the limelight. If you are looking for a prime example of what old school death metal can accomplish with a simplistic concept, strong song writing and competent musician, then look no further than “The Grand Leveller”. Benediction shows just how far the basic elements can take an album and that not all death metal needs to be overly complex or a mind altering experience to be enjoyed. A fine showing of old school death metal done right - any fan of the sound will not be disappointed! For fans of: Asphyx, Bolt Thrower, Master, Massacre, or "Harmony Corruption"-era Napalm Death Track listing A1. Vision In The Shroud A2. Graveworm A3. Jumping At Shadows A4. Opulence Of The Absolute A5. Child Of Sin B1. Undirected Aggression B2. Born In A Fever B3. The Grand Leveller B4. Senile Dementia B5.

CARNAL TOMB - Embalmed In Decay · DIGIPAK CD
Digipak CD with 8 pages booklet (limited to 1000 copies). More about 'Embalmed In Decay' CARNAL TOMB from Germany's chaotic and vibrant capital city Berlin deliver their eagerly awaited third album, which is entitled "Embalmed in Decay" and perfectly channels the spirit of old school death metal. Slightly shorter tracks, fast forward blast beats, and their characteristic doom-driven passages all add up to a contemporary version of classic death metal that will cement the German's status as one of the hottest young acts of this most brutal genre. CARNAL TOMB took inspiration from the works of H.P. Lovecraft as well as gore and zombie movies such as Amando de Ossorio's 1972 genre classic "Tombs of the Blind Dead", and old Italian funeral places called 'putridarium', in which the corpses of the deceased were left to rot. These themes have also inspired the morbid cover artwork of "Embalmed in Decay" by the artist Skaðvaldur. CARNAL TOMB were formed in Berlin in 2014 out of a hunger for old school death metal that possessed all band members. Besides a remarkable number of demo recordings, EPs, split and single releases, their two full-lengths "Rotten Remains" (2016) and "Abhorrent Veneration" (2019) earned the band an excellent reputation in death metal circles around the globe. With the putrid death metal horror of "Embalmed in Decay", CARNAL TOMB raise the blind dead from their tombs and unleash these monsters and other brutal evils upon an unsuspecting world.
