Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed as an extreme metal supergroup featuring former members of Necrophagist and Obscura, the quintet unleashes a staggeringly ambitious debut. 'The Malkuth Grimoire' fuses devastating technical death metal proficiency with sweeping, highly progressive conceptual structures and clean vocal passages. The intricately composed, science fiction-themed record immediately set a new benchmark for virtuosic musicianship within the underground.
