***"Nine pummelling tracks with a focus on attack, pulse with hammering fecundity. Antagonistic and aggressive, the album is about the creative force turning on itself, in a meditation on destruction and total death. The energy trapped in matter recalls the primordial abyss of pre-existence, and denounces the domineering voice of the captor, or demiurge. This is the moment of self-recognition in the mirror of the cosmos; it is the realization that matter is twisted together in a great abominable mass of reflected forms. Claustrophobic and demented, Logos is the most overbearing and penetrating Antediluvian release yet."

***"Nearly eight years after the release of Antediluvian’s sophomore album, λόγος, the band returns with a new full-length entitled The Divine Punishment. Originally a duo before later inviting additional members into the fold, Antediluvian has always fundamentally been a collaboration between guitarist/vocalist Haasiophis (Black Death Cult, Revenge) and percussionist Mars Sekhmet, whose relocation to Austria precipitated the band’s hiatus. After reforming for a series of live performances, with a lineup that also featured bassist Aedh Zugna (Solar Winds, Allfather), the band set about writing and recording new material culminating in this monumental album. The Divine Punishment defies the preconceptions that many listeners might have going into it. Thematically centered around the many manifestations of carnal deviance—pathological, unrestrained, cruel—the album is a contorted rendering of the spirit, once pure, blemished and bespoiled through sexual blasphemy. The recoil of ecstatic release. The organs of reproductive union mutilated, splayed. Unbounded perversion, the primal transgression."

Canada’s Antediluvian are a cavernous death metal duo plying a psychotic and twisted take on the genre. Not part of some old-school revival, the group is breaking new ground with a raw, avant-garde and progressive style. On the heels of a handful of demos, EPs and split releases that built a buzz in the underground, Antediluvian unleashes their long-awaited full-length debut Through the Cervix of Hawwah. Comprised of their most powerful material yet, the album showcases intelligent lyrics and sophisticated themes that deal heavily in the occult—the death metal equivalent of Mayhem’s De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas mixed with Beherit’s Oath of Black Blood. Antediluvian will find their rightful place among the elite of the underground death metal scene through the chaos they manifest, alongside the likes of Portal, Mitochondrion, Vasaeleth, Impetuous Ritual and Disma.
