After six long years dwelling in some pitch black state of silence, Spanish scare-mongers Teitanblood peep out from the cracks and deliver another set of horrible waves to consume the most hardened of souls. Although not blessed with as many ambient segments, From The Visceral Abyss<\/em> pukes up massive chunky riffs which provides unrelenting waves of cold blackness.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m on my ninth listen as I write this and I\u2019m still unnerved by the chaos within, made all the more monstrous by the impressive production values. Teitanblood are progressing through the thick murk, churning up behemoth echoes that rumble with such wicked aplomb and severity. The blooms of brutality bud like Spring flowers but coat each sprig of potential growth with a vile mulch causing you to sink further into the colossal pools of jet black blasphemy and ghoulishness.<\/p>\n

\u2018Enter The Hypogeum\u2019 is a diabolical flurry that somehow manages to feature a swirling hard rock solo which penetrates the fog like a ghostly barn owl on the hunt. I have to admit that when I first heard the song I turned off at the end just to recuperate and then play it another few times before embarking on the rest of the album assault.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not much else out there that\u2019s as fucked-up as From The Visceral Abyss<\/em> as dissonant heavy clouds collide with ugly demonic riffs; dense and fetid walls of anguish built upon vast foundations of esoteric bludgeoning. \u2018Sepulchral Carrion God\u2019 manically swirls via a web of suffocating leads and billowing vocal gasps. The whole thing is a gargantuan organised mess of utterly macabre expression, channelled through some obscure sepulchral filter of the foul and phantasmagoric.<\/p>\n

For 52 minutes Teitanblood put their audience through the ringer, from the thankfully brief \u2018Strangling Visions\u2019 and its despairing trudge to the frightening cacophony of the miasmic cesspool that is \u2018And Darkness Was All\u2019, and the horrifying slow-burn of finale \u2018Tomb Corpse Haruspex\u2019. Harrowing, dissonant and despicable, this piece of abysmal noise exists to eat you alive and consume you within its hazy folds of indecipherable horror.<\/p>\n

Obviously created to be experienced in one hit, I\u2019d recommend instead being a terrified fool like me and chewing on the tracks in separate yet repeated sittings, otherwise the result of continued observations may result in your death.<\/p>\n
