The debut full-length by this Alaska based band. A set of extreme Metal incantations roiling and oozing with blight. The album pulse and churns with the creative forces of the Babylonian gods themselves, cascading over the listener like like a primordial sea. For as crushing as the album is, there is a spiteful life to it as well, a lurking presence slouching towards its conclusion like a nameless beast captivating the gaze of any who dares enter its presence. Not content to constrain themselves entirely within the bounds of Death Metal, Druj´s music is blackened and sludgy, a mire without end, dizzying and wretchedly mystical. Much the like the underworld of Sumerian myth itself, once Druj envelops you, there will be no return. For fans of a mix of Neurosis, Loss, Bongripper, Worship, Thou, Mgla, Mournful Congregation, Lord Mantis, Indian, Esoteric, Svartidaudi, Carpe Noctem, Wormphlegm... |
