Diabolic Oath - Aischrolatreia - LP

Portland, OR-based bestial esoteric black/death metal sorcerers Diabolic Oath are back with another annihilating chapter in their unrelenting conquest of the outer limits of total sonic bedlam. This time the experimental extreme metal trio return with the "Aischrolatreia" MLP, a prelude to their forthcoming sophomore full-length album which offers another glimpse into the band's unique and hallucinatory formula of barbaric occult war metal and unconventional fretless instrumentation and composition. The twenty-four minute, five-song esoteric weapon of mass annihilation delivers a churning and abysmal onslaught of warped, tectonic hallucinations, with the band designing seemingly impossible and highly cerebral trajectories with their respective instruments while the load of death emanating from these plague-ridden conjurations crushes the listener down with merciless abandon into complete aural carnage. With "Aischrolatreia" Diabolic Oath have proven once again of being one of the most transformative and unconventional forces in extreme metal, with their undisputed talents as virtuosic musicians being lent with staggering vision and imagination to one of the most animalistic and inhuman manifestations of extreme metal being forged today.
