Currently checking out #TheReticent - Please.

Too deathy for me. The theme is mental health, and it has non-music, narrated passages that don't do it for me.

#bcf #BandcampFriday #Bandcamp #ProgMetal #ProgDeath

Upcoming friday is again #BandcampFriday. Good chance to buy some #music and have 100% of proceedings go to artists (or their label^^'). Afaik the cut of #bandcamp is usually 10% which is still lower than other platforms.

What songs or albums will you go for? I am thinking some more #DeathMetal / #ProgDeath... last time I bought Colored Sands by Gorguts. Behold the Arctopus is also a band on my "to buy" list. Trying to build up my music collection a bit more again to get away from #spotify (even though I already account share with my wife and she might be hard to convince).

#Gorguts Pleiades Dust - a 30min+ #ProgDeath #DissoDeath song - what more do you want? Yet more cinematic and atmospheric than the Colored Sands album (which is my favorite of theirs) and great album/song. Also again really interesting theme with the House of Wisdom (I'll post wiki article into the thread)

Come for the album top list, stay for the amazing #musictheory #metalmusictheory insights.

Also my last post was straight up one of the recommendations from this vid :D

It's #BandcampFriday - purchases are free of the usual 10%ish(?) cut that bandcamp takes and proceedings go straight to the Musicians and/or label.

My choice was Coloured Sands by Gorguts
https://gorguts.bandcamp.com/album/colored-sands

one of my absolute favorite albums of the last years and probably all times.

#DeathMetal #ProgDeath #DissoDeath

It seems as I grow older I get more fond of #DissonantDeathMetal ... I was always into proggy and techy death metal, but disso used to miss me. It has a lot of interesting subtlety and actually beautiful (dis)harmonies and I feel like I get a whole new appreciation for what DeathMetal can be through it

Clairvoyance – Chasm of Immurement Review

By Maddog

Yes, I picked this up entirely because of its cover. Girardi’s gorgeous spiral of tombstones and skeletons conjures vintage highbrow death metal of the likes of Death. The title Chasm of Immurement grasps at brutal badassery in the vein of Suffocation’s Effigy of the Forgotten. Clairvoyance’s logo remains indecipherable even if you know the band’s name, suggesting kvltness galore. The promo materials describe lyrics that address the isolating effects of depression, foreshadowing a harrowing listen. In isolation, each of these judgments strikes at the truth but glances off. Chasm of Immurement is the debut album from Poland’s Clairvoyance, an unknown band comprising unknown musicians. Lying at the intersection of brainless death-doom and brainiac digressions, Chasm of Immurement is a powerful foray into death metal.

A first pass through Chasm of Immurement suggests primitive death metal with a dollop of doom. “Eternal Blaze” opens the album with a bang that recalls Faceless Burial’s Speciation. After grabbing me by the anus, Clairvoyance maintains its hold by alternating between mid-range Obituary riffs and lurching Autopsy-style death-doom. These lowbrow highlights feel both as slimy and evolved as an amoeba. With both its riffs and its guitar tone, Chasm of Immurement leaves a palpable layer of grime that justifies multiple colonoscopies. “Blood Divine” emerges as a late gem through riffs that are gory enough to draw blood and enormous enough to evoke Immolation. This isn’t isolated to a subset of the tracks; throughout its runtime, Chasm of Immurement alternates between a sixteen-wheeler and a used minivan without dulling its fun.

On your fifth listen, Clairvoyance’s experimental bent comes into view. The same doomy riffs you’d heard before reveal spooky foreground melodies (“Reign of Silence”). The same track that you’d interpreted as a caveman ditty blossoms in baffling melodic directions in its second half (“Eternal Blaze”). The same song that introduced itself as by-the-books death metal culminates in a monstrous doomy climax (“Fleshmachine”). The same sections that you’d dismissed as repetitive transform into home bases for grimy excursions, interfering with your sleep schedule and your family obligations. Adorning hefty riffs with sinister melodies, Clairvoyance recalls both Lovecraft’s Azathoth and Morbid Angel’s Trey Azagthoth. It took me a while to realize that I was doing Chasm of Immurement an injustice by pigeonholing it into old-school death metal. It is indeed that, but it’s so much more.

Clairvoyance’s varying ambitions both empower and dilute each other. Spanning 34 minutes across 6 tracks, Chasm of Immurement is a concise collection of lengthy tracks. Some of its pieces wander, especially at their simplest. For instance, despite being the second shortest track, “Blood Divine” feels lengthy because of its dearth of creative ideas. Similarly, the shortest song, “Eternal Blaze,” suffers from riffwork that’s decent but unimaginative, before eventually redeeming itself with more variety. Even so, these flubs are rare. The six-minute “Hymn of the Befouled” is the starkest counterexample, balancing length with girth by combining a vicious off-kilter main riff with melodic escapades that hold me rapt. Parts of Chasm of Immurement could do a better job of remaining engaging, but it’s hardly a fatal flaw.

Balancing thoughtful death metal and anti-intellectual death-doom, Clairvoyance’s debut is as weird as it is powerful. Neanderthals who need their fix should look here, as Chasm of Immurement’s crushing death metal riffs rival the best of old-school death metal. Conversely, fans of Morbid Angel’s wonkiness or Tomb Mold’s shapeshifting shenanigans will find just as much to love here. Chasm of Immurement is unlikely to dethrone Faithxtractor’s Loathing and the Noose atop my 2025 death metal ranking, as its occasional meandering loses my interest. But it’s a promising debut from a crew of talented Polish fiends.
