Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a significant transition with the departure of primary songwriter Daniel 'DL' Laskiewicz, 'Death Is the Only Mortal' sees the Massachusetts pioneers diving into incredibly bleak, slow-moving sonic territory. The album relies on overwhelmingly heavy, detuned 8-string guitars and punishing downtempo breakdowns, resulting in a profoundly hateful and oppressive atmosphere.

Genres

Descriptors: antireligious, death, harsh-vocals, punchy
