The Chilean scene has another worthy addition to its roster as four-piece Deconsekrated unleashes its rather short (28 minutes) debut album. The effect here is something akin to a glut of howling winds as the combo rattles windows, bows doors and snaps trees with its vigorous parade of unholiness.<\/p>\n

The South American scene has always had that organic knack of channelling the most underground and primitive designs, so it\u2019s no surprise then that Ascension In The Altar Of Condemned<\/em> is such a blanket of encompassing evil. A track such as \u2018Spectral Rites\u2019 is downright terrifying, a haul of driving drums that surge betwixt stormy bass, the gust of riffs and those surging vocal gasps.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not as if this album is particularly murky or filthy but its aggressive nature cannot be denied; black torrents of demonic rage snake their way like vicious, snapping rivers of anguish. The furious blasts exhibited on \u2018Impure Glorification\u2019 and \u2018Ancestral Voice\u2019 showcase the blasphemous extremes band members G\u00fbl Evokator (vocals), Agorh Skullptor (guitar), Fides Naash (bass) and Rigor Mortis (drums) are willing to go to.<\/p>\n

The lyrics are typically impious and anti everything, but that\u2019s what you get with such crushing, profane extreme metal. \u2018Litany Of The Blasphemous\u2019 is the musical equivalent to being trapped inside an ancient monastery haunted by spectral monks initially and leads into the spiralling coldness of stark riffs. \u2018Consumed By Emptiness\u2019 simply spikes the tumult with extra layers of raging, primeval darkness.<\/p>\n

This is an inescapable frenzy of frothing, sneering rhythms that originate from the frostiest plateaus, so approach with caution.<\/p>\n
