Antediluvian- The Divine Punishment

A new track is online from their third album which is due in September. It's something else. Can't wait to get this.

Just to echo our whatsapp in an attempt to get some conversation going on this yoke, I think that the time off and the formation of Black Death Cult in the interim could really push this off the deep end. Have listened to that track a few times and I think it's incredible. I love everything they've done though. Logos on now.

This sounds more deranged than Black Death Cult to me. BDC is cool, don't get me wrong, but this sounds 100% like Antediluvian just ramped up to 11. It's fierce and focused, less playful than BDC maybe. It's darker than that album. And that solo, fuck me! It's comical in a way; it sounds like a one finger wonder, almost taking Kerry Kings million random notes per second to it's ridiculous conclusion. But it kind of makes sense too,  somehow. It just sounds really creative and warpy to me. I hope the album harbours more nutty surprises.

Well with that as the 2nd track, and there's a few long ones on there, this should be mental.

The BDC album is a far simpler effort for sure but the tripped out nature of it may lend itself to the direction of this. The solo is a wonky mess in the best way possible. Can't wait anyway.

Fucking hell!
First time hearing anything from Antediluvian and I don't know what to make of it. If I were to describe it in one word it would be ,"uncomfortable", I don't really like it, but I certainly don't dislike it.
Sounds like Malthusian having an orgy with Celtic Frost in the back of a transit van full of drum kits.

That all seems fair.

Through The Cervix of Hawaah is probably a good jumping off point.

[Eoin McLove]

The 'Under Wing of Asael' demo was my introduction and is so fucking good. And as it's relatively short it's also a decent place to dive in. But 'Through the Cervix of Hawaah' is incredible too.

Sounds even better today. Gonna have to stop listening to it.

[Eoin McLove]

Haha yeah,  I've had it on a few times.

That is superb

Vicious stuff

A second song is streaming. Just utterly fucking mental shit. It sounds like the whole thing keeps speeding up and slowing down, like the song is breathing. Probably one of the most direct and simple/linear/primitive things they've done, so how do they make it sound so completely out there! Antediluvian are peer-less. The only other band to come close would be Swallowed.

Deadly. I still only have Watchers' Reign, the demo compilation, which is pretty mad and intense stuff, but I must spend some more time with the albums proper.

Was talking about it last night with McLove. Had a heavy week of sessioning and threw on that track last night. The second half spun my head. Terrifying.

Everything except Logos is on Spotify and everything is incredible, in my book. All the different productions create different atmospheres.

Can't see this or Qrixkuor being bettered this year for me and they are so different that no comparison or competition is relevant or needed. New Lvcifyre tune is great as well.

[Eoin McLove]

Defo two of the standouts so far in terms of death metal but who knows what other little gems might appear, like Diabolical Fullmoon...

Plenty other great releases but these two and their out there, trippy madness are a step above for me.
