Nekobibu Very good EP!
They probably won't win any award for pushing the style in incredibly new directions, but something tells me they don't care. 😁
Thematically, though, this is a very interesting approach!

Hayduke X Tenaciously oppressive death metal with a fair bit of doom and some blackening for good measure. Another stellar Transylvanian Recordings release. Favorite track: One Thousand Years Standing.

about

On April 6 1453, the Ottoman Army, led by Sultan Mehmed II, began a 53 day siege on the Byzantine capital of Constantinople. Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos led the Byzantine army in Defense of the heavily fortified city. This defense would prove futile as the Ottomans pressed onto their final attack in the evening of May 26th. The city fell on May 29th when the wall was breached and the Byzantines were overwhelmed by Ottoman forces. The fall of Constantinople marked the end of the Roman Empire and is generally regarded as the end of The Middle Ages.

This is the story of The Crescent and the Cross...

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise. zirtonic
