UK Progressive Death outfit AGELESS OBLIVION have unveiled their brand new full length 'PENTHOS', set for release on the 17th March through SOAR/Century Media.
Produced by Chris Fielding (Napalm Death, Electric Wizard) and mixed by Hertz Studios (Behemoth, Decapitated), PENTHOS is a devastating blend of Morbid Angel Death Metal, Akercocke style Blackened Heaviness and Neurosis inspired soundscapes.
The result is a jaw dropping effort which takes the unique template of debut record 'Temples Of Transcendent Evolution' to the next level, fully cementing AO's signature sound.
The band have a static video uploaded of first offering 'Glacial Blood' which can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlDHTKMDeFw
Dom Lawson of METAL HAMMER described the band as 'The actual future of Metal'. A huge statement, but one that becomes totally justified upon listening to the sheer magnitude and ambition of PENTHOS.
Having already shared stages with extreme metal behemoths by the likes of Decapitated, Aeon, Cerebral Bore, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Dyscarnate, Conan, Blood Red Throne & Latitudes, The band have made an affinity for the stage and constantly expand on a live performance with an objective to merge the atmospheric with the primal belligerence of traditional Death Metal. An endeavor that promises to bring something fresh to what is to this day still considered a formidable genre of music.
"Provides the missing link between crushing high-velocity brutality and suffocating Neurosis style doomscapes. The breadth of vision here is exhilarating." - Terrorizer Magazine
"Beats Decapitated at their own technical game." - Kerrang!
Magazine
"This is it. This is what makes metal great!" - Thrash Hits
"Huge and expansive, as well as some riffs so heavy that they would cave your skull in if you sat too near the speakers." - Metal Team UK
"You may not have heard of this band, but doubtless you will be doing so more in the future. With a fresh take on the death metal dynamic, this, their debut album, provides a master class in modern death metal." - No Clean Singing
