Background information about 'Ekpyrosis (Periodic Destruction)'

Burial Vault delivers a crushing statement with "Ekpyrosis - Periodic Destruction", an album that resurrects the golden era of melodic death metal with uncompromising ferocity. This German outfit crafts eight tracks of devastating beauty, where razor-sharp melodies intertwine with brutal death metal foundations in ways that feel both nostalgic and refreshingly authentic. The opening title track "Periodic Destruction" serves as a brief but menacing overture, setting the stage for the sonic carnage that follows with tracks like "Heretic" and the epic "Dominate God's Creation".

What sets this release apart is Burial Vault's commitment to the "old ways" of melodic death metal - no modern polish or trendy production tricks, just pure Swedish-influenced aggression with memorable hooks that'll have you humming along to the brutality. The album's centerpiece, "Icon Of Indignity", stretches nearly eight minutes of progressive death metal mastery, while the closing epic "Those Things Which Were Thought Can Never Be Unthought" proves that the band can balance technical prowess with emotional depth. This is melodic death metal as it was meant to be - raw, passionate, and utterly devastating.

For fans of:
At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, Dissection and early Arch Enemy
