The Fires of Calcination

by CONSUMMATION

supported by

PannionSeer If you liked "The Great Solar Hunter," you can't go wrong with this. More fierce, cold-eyed and sleek black metal with an unwavering commitment to destroy everything in its path.

Lorenzo Monolithic blackened death metal with an atmosphere of dissonance and instrumental complexity. The guitars are fantastic, and the cavernous vocals fit well in the space of each track.

about

SRUIN085
Sentient Ruin and Australian extreme metal tormentors Consummation seal an unholy blood pact to re-release their first two debut EPs through an exhaustive and extremely curated vinyl release. A decade-spanning retrospective, "The Fires of Calcination" is a limited edition 12" LP compilation containing every track ever released by the band (taken from their 2012 debut demo tape and from the "Ritual Severance" CD EP released in 2017 by Invictus Productions) leading up to their 2019 Profound Lore debut album - "The Great Solar Hunter" - all of which also see their first ever release on the vinyl format. The four tracks present on the comp testify with harrowing vehemence the birth and evolution of one of the most defiant and predatory black metal entities to ever tread Australian soil, and documents the band's feral quest for complete aural domination/annihilation over the span of a decade, as they meticulously and malignantly forged their black metal craft to become a mortal weapon of unyielding violence and negativity.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
