Maze Envy

20 Buck Spin

***NOW ON LIMITED GLASS OF PORT MARBLE VINYL!!! Upon hearing Decrepit Flesh Relic, the first album from Civerous, one was left with a feeling of intense suffocating weight and agonal prostration in the service of bone-breaking death hymns. With the towering new album, Maze Envy, LA’s most creatively destructive death / doom ensemble let loose a freshly evolved but no less brutal conflagration of immersive horror and morbid lamentation. Where death / doom may often stay in safe and unadventerous realms of narrow focus, Maze Envy presents a more far-reaching breadth of ambition, where unusual technicality, progressive atmospheres, string flourishes and chaotic mysticism radiate a purple light of the soul’s ascension from the black oceans of dread Civerous inhabit. Chain-dragging dirge, blackened blasting, and the savage ferocity of Lord Foul’s hellish vocal exorcisms exalt Maze Envy with a hellish grandeur within its myriad paths to oblivion. With a massively crushing sound, Maze Envy is end times music for an age in which that reckoning feels unfathomably close. Civerous batter the senses into a state of labyrinthian turmoil from which emergence is ever more implausible.

Transylvanian Recordings

***Civerous is composed of Daniel Salinas (guitar), Lord Foul (vocals), Drew Horton (bass), Alonso Santana (guitar), and Matt Valencia (drums). Decrepit Flesh Relic is their first full length album after a series of smaller projects. Civerous combines both slow, crushing dirges of doom metal with nauseatingly fast blackened death metal, giving the listener a moment of respite before dragging them into a pitch black cavern for more.
