The most exciting death metal album you’ll hear all year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When was the last time a death metal album made you feel excited? I don’t just mean an announcement of an album from the hottest new act or even long-time legends rising from quiescence, I mean listening to the actual record. If you’re anything like me, these moments have gradually become few and far between. Not through a decline of interest in metal, or increased appreciation towards other genres, but more through familiarity, frequency, and the tolerance it instills (for lack of a better word). Don’t get me wrong, I still find plenty of albums very enjoyable, you only have to go back to my last review to see some unabashed gushing over Tomb Mold<\/strong>‘s sporesome follow-up<\/a>, but it’s increasingly rare that among the perpetual pour of promos that something new will consistently maintain engagement over its duration. Hell, even the majority of albums I’m hotly anticipating don’t match the pre-release enthusiasm when put to the test. Enjoyment?<\/strong> Yes. Entertainment?<\/strong> Yes. Excitement?<\/strong> Not nearly often enough.<\/p>\n

So when news arose that the dormant Turkish band Burial Invocation<\/strong> were reanimated and set to drop their first material in 8 years, my interest was definitely piqued but not in a giddy “OMGiCANTW84DISAOTY2k18<\/em>” way. To be honest, even though their 2010 EP (their only stand-alone release to this point) Rituals Of The Grotesque<\/em> was one of my very first purchases on Bandcamp, some 500 albums later I could hardly remember how it sounded. Nevertheless, I was very interested in hearing how the band’s debut full-length would shape up. And after we were treated to an exceptionally early sample almost a year ago courtesy of the 2017 Dark Descent<\/strong> Sampler\/Compilation, in the form of the record’s penultimate track ‘Phantasmogoric Transcendence’, things were looking pretty damn promising.<\/p>\n
