I woke up to a carpet of cosmic dust and realised then that it was a sign that Clairvoyance had re-emerged from the icy shadows with their debut full-length album, Chasm Of Immurement<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Forged within the deep subterranean tunnels of Warsaw in Poland in 2019, Clairvoyance retains three of its original members in the form of vocalist Maciej Cesarczyk, guitarist Denis Didenko and skinsman Adrian Szczepep\u00e1nski. In 2021 Kacper Pawluk joined the ranks as a bass player but he switched to guitar in 2023, and so during the same year Vlad Levchenko was recruited for bass duties.<\/p>\n

The band caused quite a stir in the fetid underground in 2020 with their self-titled three track demo and this was improved upon two years later with the EP Threshold Of Nothingness<\/em>. All seemed to go quiet after that particular release, but little did we know that the guys were planning Chasm Of Immurement<\/em>, a cold grey void of abhorrent riffs.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t help but close my eyes when I first put the album on, I let the cover imagery consume me in its colourless gloom. Clairvoyance creates a mind-numbing and limitless barrage of frozen riffs which churn and froth at the fathomless sides of bottomless horror. \u2018Eternal Blaze\u2019 is that significant stall setter, an epitome of what the Clairvoyance nightmare is all about; a thrashing of pallid limbs, the blustery utterance of abyssal textures, and the belligerent hammering of glacial tides.<\/p>\n

All too cold for the chambers of hell, Chasm Of Immurement<\/em> is whipped and whisked with feverish aplomb. \u2018Hymn Of The Befouled\u2019 is eerily constructed of seething, foaming chugs pierced by a permafrost solo that wails despondent amidst the swirling anaemic structures. This is extremely dense yet pasty and cloying, an achromatic slug fest at its stone heart summed up by the miserable slog of \u2018Reign Of Silence\u2019, an emphatically washed-out and bone-bleaching mid-tempo rattler steadied by the chiming percussion.<\/p>\n

\u2018Fleshmachine\u2019 is bleak and unwavering, almost industrialised in its dismal rushing, while my favourite track \u2018Monument To Dread\u2019 is an absolute ashen juggernaut, its engine gurgling like the bowels of the most disgusting death doom entity. The chesty vocals layer the already seething waves, Clairvoyance creating a sea of sewage by relentlessly pummelling and seamlessly transitioning from scum-clogged trudges to billowing black ice blusters. The depths here are treacherous to navigate so wade carefully or face instant death.<\/p>\n
