The French black/death metallers SKAPHOS have unleashed their new album , “Cult of Uzura”. The album is released via Transcending Obscurity Records and is available here: http://tometal.com.
“Cult of Uzura” sees the French death/black metal band Skaphos fleshing out their sound on their third album – first on a label – to become more expressive and impactful than ever before. At this point their proficiency is undoubtable and their sound a beautiful rendering of the two extreme styles, spiked with mean dissonance and steeped in an aura of mysticism. The execution remains ruthless and forceful despite showing subtlety in the emotive passages and tempo changes. The gnarly death and black metal rawness is retained even after having their disparate elements congealed on this album and the sound is more powerful than can be conceived. And the alternating contrast of chunky riffing acerbic parts leaves behind an indelible lasting impression. This is a remarkable album in the entire death/black style where there’s actual substance along with aesthetics and sound and it’s one that you will keep coming back to.
For fans of: Mgla, Crypts of Despair, Obscureviolence, Behemoth, Dead Congregation, Saevus Finis, Shrine of Denial, Belphegor.
