dominic38 this one really stops me in my tracks. i want that first album

Edd Childs III THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING ULCERATE ALBUM! Still maintains the dissonance we all know and love but when those melodic crescendos hit they come strait for the jugular! I feel like they've gotten too melodic and predictable with the albums following this one. However, on Shrines the melodic moments hit much harder and the dissonant moments pummel you into oblivion. Favorite track: Yield to Naught.

mourner Exactly what you'd expect the album between 'Vermis' and 'Stare...' to sound and feel like. In my opinion the most important step into the direction that would give us at least two works of pure emotional and oppressive genius in the following. Less suffocation and void than on 'Vermis' but still extremely unsettling and great as all of their work. Favorite track: Shrines of Paralysis.

about

Forward-thinking, unorthodox New Zealand death metal trio ULCERATE return with their latest masterwork 'Shrines Of Paralysis,' a flawless continuation of the band's signature sonic philosophy. 'Shrines Of Paralysis' spans eight tracks of singular death metal, incorporating a wider range of styles and ideas than ever before. Influences both within and beyond metal abound: organic, inventive phrasings and novel compositional techniques round out a thundering package of death, doom, and black metal stylings. As is characteristic of the band, 'Shrines Of Paralysis' is about much more than just the music. The production, themes, and atmosphere all shape ULCERATE's music, and help guide the way through a highly evocative palette of dark and light passages, subtly dramatic rhythmic manipulation, and unparalleled technical heaviness. The band's most cohesive and powerful release to date.
