Superbly structured dark, meaty and doomy death metal
New signing Dead Chasm from Italy deliver a short but highly potent slice of dark, doomy death metal that they have been perfecting since their debut. Their music is intricately written despite the girth, pummelling when it has to be, and is visceral and organic sounding which will make you keep coming back to it for more. Listen to their title track AT THIS LINK.
Dead Chasm (Italy) – Spectral Tyranny (Death/Doom Metal)
Italian death/doom metal band Dead Chasm bring forth their latest material that promises to be their most potent output yet. There’s not a second wasted on these three songs which are dense with stomach-churning riffs and doom passages that are all but enveloping, while the execution remains tighter than ever before. They make everything work like clockwork as a three-piece unit and there’s not a single area where they leave something to be desired. The songs are more elaborately structured than usual in this death/doom style and it’s particularly noteworthy how they take the time to flesh out the riffs and go about it all in a natural way rather than forcing it or coming across as ostentatious at any given point of time. Be it during the slower sections building up the thick, ominous atmosphere or the faster, pummelling parts, it’s all done in a sincere manner and that too with the right organic sound that retains some of the rawness. Dead Chasm have come up with a bunch of songs that are virtually faultless but more importantly are of the kind that would resonate with any true fan of death/doom metal.
