Egregore

***The debut album from dark esoteric grindcore act Egregore (not to be confused with the Canadian black metal band) takes us into ominous realms rarely explored before by, and in the genre: those of metaphysical occultism and supernatural darkness; a descent into the immaterial self and into alternate realities to transform a tradition inspired by bands like Carcass, Discharge, Convulse, Demigod, Terrorizer and Napalm Death into a destructive psychic mind-weapon. Egregore's grim and mystical amalgam of '90s death metal, crust, and grind aims to use the timeless lesson cemented chiefly by Carcass's Heartwork and Necroticism albums to disintegrate the corporeal self, transfigure the soul and open the listener's third eye unto a superior reality dominated by obscure forces, invisible powers, and higher truths. A passageway album using sonic destruction as a key to dimensions above and beyond the self, Synchronistic Delusions continues the band's explorative synthesis into the unknown, bridging '90s death metal and grind, black metal, crust punk and esoteric projections derived from jungian philosophy, occultism, supernatural theology and paranormal cabalism to destroy reality and liberate the mind from its carnal prison.
