It's a terrific album that sounds best on physical format.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeath metal band Crypts of Despair have made a quantum leap from their well-received debut full length to the new one. The progression is not merely aesthetic but intrinsic; it's as if they've unlocked some inner beast by channelling diabolical forces through them. The music is at once ferocious, rife with unearthly and dissonant sounds, punctuated by hair-raising, eerie ambience. It embodies the perfect combination of face-melting aggression and electrifying atmosphere, with song structures remaining unpredictable and yet strangely coherent. The sound is absolutely pristine, able to express the band's penchant for playing fast, devastating music as well as doing justice to the myriad variations that they incorporate. This is the perfect death metal album of the times, without any dilution of the raw appeal of the genre. The execution is next level and it's an album that you will keep coming back to just because it has so much to offer in a refreshing manner. Delve deep into this one and the experience will be unforgettable. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFFO: Ulcerate, Incantation, Belphegor, Portal, Anaal Nathrakh, Deathspell Omega, Replicant, Gorguts, Morbid Angel, Immolation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crypts Of Despair (Lithuania)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44197843566876,"sku":"450685","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/1908\/2780\/products\/42c752186002e0a778f1ed3b15d832ae.jpg?v=1671142413"},{"product_id":"crypts-of-despair-lithuania-all-light-swallowed-gatefold-lp-limited-edition-12","title":"Crypts Of Despair (Lithuania) \"All Light Swallowed Gatefold LP\" Limited Edition 12\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe're thrilled to announce vinyl for this fantastic release and there are three unique colour variants to choose from.

Just when you think they had perfected their sound bolstering it with all the right dark and vile elements on their highly acclaimed previous album, they decided to hone their sound some more on their new one. Clearly, they are not content to bask in the glory of their past efforts no matter how good they are, and have evolved and refined their sound further. The new album retains the band's intimidating demeanour but now the music is comparatively more condensed, visceral, intuitive, and even displays hints of melancholy. The execution remains forceful and the riffs are compelling enough to commit crimes, egged on by the relentless barrage of seemingly multi-tongued demonic vocals. The band functions as a unit better now than ever before with a thick, cohesive sound that drives the point home. This is sheer aural terror and they have become veritable masters of it. \"We Belong In The Grave\" is a bold step ahead for Crypts of Despair, maintaining the band's high standards while updating the sound for maximum impact and utter devastation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor fans of: Ulcerate, Mgla, Replicant, Skaphos, Krypts, Obscureviolence, Dead Congregation, Saevus Finis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crypts Of Despair (Lithuania)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54465123909916,"sku":"624598","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/1908\/2780\/files\/b93f992e9accee9442db60d969d52e3c.jpg?v=1787581654"}],"url":"https:\/\/transcendingobscurity.indiemerch.com\/collections\/crypts-of-despair-lithuania.oembed","provider":"Transcending Obscurity","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
