THE BEAST

Today, mind-bending death metallers  Siderean  stream the entirety of their highly anticipated debut album,  Lost on Void's Horizon , at heavily trafficked web-portal   NoCleanSinging.com . Set for international release on June 25th via  Edged Circle Productions , hear  Siderean 's   Lost on Void's Horizon  in its entirety exclusively   HERE .

One of the most singular bands orbiting the death metal underground in the past decade,   Siderean  began life in 2010 under the moniker   Teleport . Shortly after forming, the Ljubljana, Slovenia-based band promptly set course for a prodigious schedule of self-released demos, each one perfecting their slithering, shapeshifting sound. Undoubtedly inspired by Gorguts, Voivod, and Australia's Stargazer and yet finding contemporaries in Blood Incantation and Sacriphyx,   Teleport  truly hit their stride with 2018's  The Expansion , which so impressed   Edged Circle  that the label released a worldwide CD version the next year. As aptly titled as the band's moniker,  The Expansion  weaved a winding, oft-bewildering path across its three-track/21-minute runtime. Sulfurous to the very end, one could pin tags like "prog" or "tech" or simply "that's crazy, man!" onto   Teleport 's style of death metal, but within their attacking angularity existed actual hooks - malformed and mesmerizing, of course, but HOOKS to hold onto as you sink deeper into their maelstrom...


Seeing that the   Teleport  moniker had run its course and seeking even more-beyond means to express themselves, the name   Siderean  was chosen - as was   Edged Circle  as the label to release their long-awaited debut album. At last here, bearing the evocative title  Lost on Void's Horizon ,   Siderean 's first full-length handily eclipses past, not-inconsiderable accomplishments - and then blasts off into new worlds unknown. The two-song  Sidereal Evolution  EP (released by   Edged Circle  in October 2020) teased with an even crisper iteration of that uniquely serpentine flow, and upped the hooks in the process. Those two epic songs are reprised here, and signpost a sea-change in the new-look   Siderean  world: no more sulfur, no more murk, just sparkling 'n' sidewinding mental wreckage that's "death metal" in deed but not fully by definition. For one, one could argue that  Lost on Void's Horizon  is a deceptively beautiful listen - yes,  beautiful  - in that way that lucid dreams drip into nightmares; credit much of this superlative development to the lead-guitar work, which brings the spaciness and then some. For another, that perceivable "cleaning up" actually reveals an even-more-organic entity, as each drop of sweat tastes that much sweeter when not buried under miles of reverb; the songwriting, consequentially, hits with even more urgency and fluidity.

Or, one could simply submit to   Siderean 's cosmic flow and marvel at the wonders they so effortlessly unfurl, this time across six linked songs in an impossibly epic 41 minutes.
