Cutting the Throat of God

by Ulcerate

supported by

absconditus Ulcerate's last release was nothing shy of a tour de force. A masterpiece in heavy metal music. This would appear to be a continuation of that phenomenal new style of theirs. If you seek music that's able to capture the dark, foreboding atmosphere of third wave black metal, while delivering the technical proficiency, breakneck velocity and experimental nature of avant-garde death metal, look no further than the apex evolution of Ulcerate. What a time to be alive.

osirisx3r0 Sure to be another nauseating display of emotionally crushing dissonance. This music gives me vertigo and I'll come back to it for more. Favorite track: The Dawn is Hollow.

Forbidden to see the evident In fires immersive Demolish the myth of permanence Imprisoned by inward revulsion The dawn is hollow Failing to distinguish between life and death The iconoclast’s separation from meaningless decay This adornment trivial when we will all burn Deception interwoven in poisoned judgement Transfixed by illumination Last steps to withdrawal The dust cannot settle as disorder persists The iconoclast’s separation from meaningless decay This adornment trivial when we will all burn Toward a bitter end Reckoning with the aftermath Of a future left wanting What once was whole Now shattered into pieces Lacerations are the sign to relinquish Foreshadow immiseration Toward a bitter end Unceasing dereliction Unrelenting decline Desolation is the arc of life’s motion

about

After triumphantly casting off the shackles of claustrophobic dissonance on 2020's lauded "Stare Into Death and Be Still", New Zealand unorthodox Death Metal legends ULCERATE up the ante even further with mind-bending 7th album "Cutting the Throat of God".

An acknowledgement that the band's most powerful and affecting material leans to the melodic side, this refined and hook-laden new record is a self-sufficient universe unto itself, a conflagration of inventively visceral Death/Black Metal where dizzying experimentation meets head-nodding abandon - obscenely twisted and addictive, heart-stopping in its depth of feeling.

After a quarter-century of playing music together, Hoggard/Saint Merat are cemented as one of the strongest guitar-percussion combinations in Extreme Metal, and their music has evolved organically into something completely its own. The most well-produced ULCERATE record to date, "Cutting the Throat of God" is filled with peerless rhythms, the band's smoothest transitions, most compelling phrasing, and truly staggering riffage. The exhilarating, liquescent flow is topped off by a destructively dynamic performance from vocalist/lyricist Paul Kelland.

"Cutting the Throat of God" explores a cohesive lyrical theme centered around the rupture of morality, the delicate boundary between depravity and extremity, and the irreversible descent into darkness.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
