At this point, their proficiency is undeniable and their sound is 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 deftness in the tempo changes. The gnarly death and black metal rawness is palpable even after having their disparate elements congealed on this album and the sound is more powerful than can be conceived for an album having this level of expression. In addition, the alternating contrast of chunky riffing with acerbic parts creates a lasting impression on the listener. This is a remarkable album in the death\/black metal style that has actual substance along with the right aesthetics and sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor fans of: Mgla, Crypts of Despair, Obscureviolence, Behemoth, Dead Congregation, Saevus Finis, Shrine of Denial, Belphegor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skaphos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54465124925724,"sku":"626809","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/1908\/2780\/files\/cc632f859fa17f2e89da1904c4a09899.jpg?v=1787581702"},{"product_id":"skaphos-cult-of-uzura-limited-edition-cassette","title":"Skaphos \"Cult of Uzura\" Limited Edition Cassette","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese are high quality imported cassettes having full body prints of the fascinating artwork made by Paolo Girardi which look outstanding.
