Today, Danish death metal upstarts 
 Septage  stream the entirety of their highly anticipated debut EP, 
  Septic Decadence  , at
      Decibel    magazine's website  . Set for international release on October 16th via
    Me Saco Un Ojo Records    on 7" vinyl format - Pyre Press will be handling the cassette tape version - hear
    Septage 's
    Septic Decadence    in its entirety exclusively
     HERE  .
 Although a brand-new entity,
    Septage    feature members of Taphos and Hyperdontia, and are perhaps unsurprisingly yet another sterling addition to Copenhagen's thriving death metal scene of late. However, unlike those two bands,
    Septage    indeed dwell deeply within sewage and gore, exhibiting a sound that reverentially nods to early Carcass as well as the contemporaneous Finnish death metal scene such records as 
 Reek of Putrefaction  and especially 
 Symphonies of Sickness  so inspired.
 On evidence of the band's debut EP, 
 Septic Decadence ,
    Septage    are a fresh breath of foul old air, proudly presenting themselves as a gore-infested death metal band whilst offering new knife twists to the subgenre. Aptly titled, 
 Septic Decadence  burrows within slime and grime and yet has a remarkably clear-headed approach that only heightens that physical/metaphysical grossness; let one not dare call it "clean," but
    Septage 's execution here is extremely articulate, their chops truly enviable. Likewise, the EP maintains a crispy 'n' cutting production that's richly analog in feel. Together, these elements combine to create a shock & awe record of righteous proportions: four songs in 12 minutes, the listener left stunned by the punishing pustulence the band so effortlessly dole out. And as vividly displayed by climactic closer "Septicious Septic," the haunting's just begun...
