Today,
Blood Harvest Records sets August 6th as the international release date for a new EP from
Perilaxe Occlusion ,
Raytraces of Death , on 12” vinyl format.
A duo hailing from Toronto,
Perilaxe Occlusion are utterly world-eating given their seemingly sparse membership. Just recently did the band make waves with
Blood Harvest 's re-release of their
Exponential Decay debut EP, and now with
Raytraces of Death do the duo provide another swift ‘n’ assertive display of those world-eating ways.
Death metal for death metal maniacs by death metal maniacs,
Exponential Decay combined gooey, viscous riffing with slamming propulsion, vaguely sci-fi atmosphere with black emanations from beyond, straddling a unique line between the knuckle-dragging and the cerebral. And while the ever-appropriately titled
Raytraces of Death follows a similar trajectory,
Perilaxe Occlusion here unveil a startling grasp of dynamics - haunting in its tension, effortless in its usage - which adds another dark level of devastation to their already-considerable arsenal. And just like its short-length predecessor,
Raytraces of Death is likewise 22 minutes, but spread across three epic tracks. BENT death metal
par excellence has gotten even better!
Get bent with the brand-new track "Incalculable Thresholds"
