To stand out from this vast Death Metal populace is hard. Real hard. I usually find an endless procession of coequal black-clad Death Metal outfits of all flavors on my promo list. All of those trying to sell the same bland soup all over again. Jockeying for position in a genre that somehow lost a lot of its lustre over time. And then there are those bands that are able to just give you this trifle added spice.

Only to disappear again for long months, despite the promise that a #metal record should indeed be forthcoming shortly. … Got hooked? Raid this some more...
Whoa! Somebody is fucking with my brain! Just listening to the streamer screamer extract The Apathetic Plague from Éohum‘s latest EP Ealdfaeder due out on 18 March 2016 via Mycelium Networks. And they are going deep down. Deep, deep down to the essence of Black Metal with a somewhat doomish and atmospheric tinge.

I know, okay? You hardcore fans would like to have Angela Gossow back, but you know what? Ain’t gonna happen and Alissa White-Gluz is pretty good and spits these lyrics out quite aggressively herself.
