Vasaeleth

The poisonous death metal duo known as Vasaeleth returned this year with the barbarous five-track statement All Uproarious Darkness, now issued on vinyl via 20 Buck Spin. Like the Bone Sickness 12-inch release earlier in 2013, Vasaeleth unleashes death with a less-is-more approach, summoning forth five songs in just under 19 minutes, warranting repeated beatings. 
Raw, noxious, swirling murk and punishing brutality announce Vasaeleth as possibly the most horrifying young death metal band in the US; methodical in their madness. 
 
“… the 19 minutes of All Uproarious Darkness contains equal parts unpurified hostility and unprocessed cold-bloodedness. It’s the perfect representation of the underbelly of the Earth vomiting the grotesque into the face of modernity…” —PopMatters.com  
“Vasaeleth are excellent at blasting through their manic paces, but they’re deadliest when they slow it down, ramp up the intensity, and just fucking punish.” —Pitchfork.com  
“Like a demon’s birth in the darkest depths of hell, the death metal of Vasaeleth is a wretched natal ritual giving life to a truly horrific beast.” —CvltNation.com  
“The sound here is deliberately ugly, lo-fi and old school, yet despite all this, the music never sounds dated or tired.” —GhostCultMag.com [9/10 Rating]  
“Your skull takes a serious pounding due to Antinom’s furious drumming, and the band sounds like a demon-spawned machine moving and slicing its way through anything standing in front of it, with mercy never even entering into the equation.” —MeatMeadMetal.com  
“Open your window, turn off the lights and breathe, but don’t be surprised if, over the roar of All Uproarious Darkness, you hear a breath beside you that is not of this world.” —InvisibleOranges.com
