Cult Burial Posts New Track
Blackened Death Metallers, Cult Burial, have released "Collapse," the first single from forthcoming album, Collapse of Pattern, Reverence of Dust. Stream the song below. Collapse of Pattern, Reverence of Dust is a record about erosion — of structures, of certainty, of meaning.
Across eight tracks, Cult Burial tears through the frameworks we cling to, carving out something that sits between aggression and despair, weight and absence. The music is dense and layered, yet unafraid of space; at times claustrophobic, at others stripped to bare wire and exposed edge.
Cult Burial's music is a confluence of black, death, and doom metal, characterized by dissonant guitar work, relentless drumming, and guttural vocals. Their compositions often explore themes of existentialism, decay, and the human psyche, creating a soundscape that is both oppressive and thought-provoking.
Despite being a relatively new entity, Cult Burial has garnered attention from various metal publications and blogs, earning praise for their authentic approach to extreme metal and their ability to evoke a profound emotional response through their music.
Following two highly regarded albums, Cult Burial's forthcoming third release is unquestionably its finest work to date.
Cult Burial will release Collapse of Pattern, Reverence of Dust, September 5th, on digital, CD, and vinyl formats. More...
Ectovoid Reissuing Album
Ten years after its initial release and in honored celebration of the band’s fifteenth anniversary of existence, Boris Records will unveil the exclusive vinyl reissue of Ectovoid’s long out of print sophomore full-length album, "Dark Abstraction." Slated for a September 12th release, the limited reissue will come in two versions – plain black and marbled purple.
The band’s most recent full length recording and tragically the last to feature the band’s late founding guitarist Michael Stewart, "Dark Abstraction," was originally released in 2015 on CD by Polish label Hellthrasher Productions and LP by Swedish label Blood Harvest Records. A massive step forward in every way from the outfit’s well regarded if unpolished debut album, "Dark Abstraction" represented an energetic, riff-focused, and creative spin on the cavernous blackened death metal sound that was flooding the scene in copious amounts in the mid-2010’s.
With eight varied and memorable tracks, a greatly improved production, and an ever-advancing sense of expression and craftsmanship from all instruments, this was the sound of a young band stepping out of their formative beginnings and emerging confidently as the established and respected outfit they are known as today.
Boris Records will bring this under-appreciated work of death metal darkness back to the public consciousness - Ectovoid’s exhumation from the forgotten graves is long overdue. To celebrate the reissue of "Dark Abstraction," Ectovoid will be playing a 15th Anniversary show at Saturn in Birmingham on August 16. More...
Interview
Entheos Gives Us More Than The End Of Everything
Entheos is a fast rising progressive metal band that has ambition, drive and a ton of talent. Chaney Crab recently was so kind to respond to our interview and the current happenings in the Entheos camp.
Metalunderground: First of all, if there’s someone out there that hasn’t heard of Entheos or have listened to your music, can you give them a condensed description of the band and some of the back history of it?
Chaney Crabb: I formed the band in late 2014 with Navene Koperweis, Evan Brewer and Frank Costa. Each of them have played for a multitude of bands that I’m sure people are familiar with - all three of them with Animosity, Navene has drummed for Animals as Leaders, Whitechapel, Job for a Cowboy, Machinehead,, etc. and Evan is a former member of the Faceless.
Since then, we’ve condensed the official members of the band down to me on vocals and Navene Koperweis on drums/studio guitars. Evan has always played bass in the studio for us even though he no longer tours. I would describe us as a metal band with a multitude of influences, including a lot of post rock and grunge.
Metalunderground: What is current status of the band? Is there a new album in the works?
Chaney Crabb: We’re working on a new album right now.
Metalunderground: I’ve heard that you have an upcoming U.S. tour, can you touch on that a bit?
Chaney Crabb: This fall we are embarking on our first ever headlining tour in the United States. Joining us will be Fallujah, The Zenith Passage, and Tracheotomy. We’re incredibly excited and proud, this is a milestone for us as a band that we’ve looked forward to for years.
Metalunderground: It has also been said that you are borrowing one of the guitarists from Allegaeon for the tour. How did this come about and why did you pick them?
Chaney Crabb: Yes, one of our guitarists, Michael Stancel is from Allegaeon and our other guitarist, Scott Carstairs, plays guitar in Fallujah. We’ve toured with Allegaeon a few times and that is how we met Michael. I’ve always kept him in mind as a guitarist, because he and I have a ton of influences in common. When it came time to find someone to play live with us for a tour last year he was the first person I thought to ask.
We’ve known Scott for a long time but became good friends with him when he moved to Nashville, where we live. I truly believe that adding the two of them to our live lineup has brought our band to a new level, we’re better and more creative now than we ever have been.
Metalunderground: Are there any side projects that you are working on?
Chaney Crabb: My focus is all on Entheos. More...
