THE BEAST

Today, American death metallers  Sacrilegion  premiere the new track "Transfixed in Spiral Ambiguity"  at Decibel magazine's website . The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album,  From Which Nightmares Crawl , set for international release on December 9th via  Chaos Records on CD and cassette tape formats; the vinyl version will follow next year. Hear  Sacrilegion 's "Transfixed in Spiral Ambiguity" in its entirety exclusively HERE .

Hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, Sacrilegion  was formed in 2018 as a solo project for Connor G. Carlson (Delusions of Godhood, Unceremonial) to write death metal combining his influences of At the Gates, Edge of Sanity, and Intestine Baalism with The Chasm, Cenotaph, and Amorbital: essentially, to merge an unrelenting death metal assault with powerful melodies to invoke feelings of horror, wonder, and darkened bliss. After the release of  The Pest Dialect  demo, Connor was joined by Geronimo Santa Cruz on guitar, and the duo continued to work on perfecting their craft. In 2020, the duo invited Alex Seolas (Tomb of Belial) on bass and Ashton J. Childs on drums (ex-Onethium) to complete the quartet.  

Throughout 2021, with this bolstered lineup,  Sacrilegion  worked on their debut full-length - and at long last, it is here. Bearing the ominous title  From Which Nightmares Crawl , Sacrilegion 's debut album bursts and bristles with an onslaught of death metal lunacy at once tastefully classic and palatably modern. Truly, the quartet create a dense and rippling dervish of decibels that fuses eerie melodicism with deft shifts of crush and blast. While the ten songs comprising  From Which Nightmares Crawl  contain an often-dizzying amount of transitions, Sacrilegion 's attack is always straightforward - always moving, but always memorable. As the album moves on and the labyrinths become darker and deeper, the band's mad science begins to make more sense and a sensation of the epic arises...and the shadows swallow you whole. Truly, here is where  From Which Nightmares Crawl .

Graced with appropriately evocative cover artwork courtesy of John Quevedo Janssens (Paganizer, Summoning Death) and simply devastating mix & master by Damian Hearring (Horrendous, Cryptic Shift, Void Rot), Sacrilegion  stake their claim for one of the year's premier death metal debuts with  From Which Nightmares Crawl .
