Dripping-dark-cave-death-metal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Death metal doesn’t always benefit from technicality and clarity. You don’t always need to be impressed by musical ability, and speed. Death metal can be very challenging music to play, and often times, to listen to. The fact is, it doesn’t have to be. It just needs to feel. Bands like Astriferous <\/strong>have this feel. What is this feel that I am talking about? Didn’t you read the title above? Dripping-dark-cave-death-metal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WTF?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may be asking, what the fuck Brian? Well, this is my term for this band. Astriferous<\/strong>, and their new album, “Pulsations From the Black Orb”<\/strong> play dripping-dark-cave-death-metal. This is to say, their pace goes from speedy tremolo picking, to mid-paced groove, all the while having deep, raspy death metal vocals, dripping with dark cave reverb. You are in a dark cave, and the band is playing in it, but you can’t see them, because it’s dark as fuck. Dripping… dark… cave… death metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Astriferous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Death metal from Costa Rica, making this their debut full length album, after releasing a series of demos, a split, and an EP. This album is sure to turn heads. Being released on vinyl by UK label Me Saco Un Ojo<\/strong><\/a> and the CD by Pulverised Records<\/strong><\/a>, where you can find it on Bandcamp<\/a>. Well, what do I compare this band to? Recently, I think of the Worm<\/a><\/strong> album Foreverglade<\/a>, which was included in both mine<\/a>, and Eric’s<\/a> top albums of 2021. It has that dark, moldy, rotting, cave sound. Listen to a song blow on Bandcamp, and you’ll see what I mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
