One can hear the foundations of Ghent in Belgium rumbling as dismal death-doom clan Discarnation erupts from its subterranean passage. I know nothing about the hive mind behind this but what I do know is that this six-track affair crushes. For 33 minutes the listener gets coated in a peculiar sediment cast adrift by horrid, yet steady gusts of abysmal dragging.<\/p>\n

Opener \u2018The Divine\u2019 begins as a slog until the tolling percussion signals a change in tempo, and from then on it\u2019s still a murky rattle that suffocates. Vocally it\u2019s the expected guttural remoteness which echoes around the soot-coated cistern as the aching sludge ooze of \u2018Solemn Crown\u2019 crawls through the muddy gusset of its own pitiful form. A miserable lead twitches in the humidity, yet there\u2019s no room to breathe within such pits of extreme gloom. Meanwhile, \u2018Procession\u2019 lives up to its title as a grim black congealed liquid of ghoulishness slithers through the streets, consuming all in its filthy wake.<\/p>\n

All six tracks act as squalid, stinking tides of chunder; rancid blubbery masses of slow moving rot climaxing with the repulsive slop of \u2018Haven Of Despair\u2019, which is an evil, sluggish soundscape of doom that eventually unravels into a gushing geyser of gnashing orifices and belching bowels. Yep, it\u2019s all-consuming rank death-doom that leaves you as flat as a pancake and bloated on compost.<\/p>\n

For those of you interested, the demo is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
