Towers of Silence

by PLASMODIUM

supported by
Metallurgical Fire

Metallurgical Fire Buddy Rich was abducted by aliens and forced to play a metal fusion concert aboard their mothership. Towers of Silence is fucking awesome (you need Plasmodium’s 2016 album too! Find it on Satanath or the band page.) Favorite track: Translucinophobia.
Deadpanist

Deadpanist Mindbending stuff! Weird, dissonant, and psychedelic. Some post-punk influences, industrial layers, non-Eucledian passages...I assume Yen Pox to be the Dark Ambiant artist... A very inspired and inspiring release.

bmurator Australian Psychedelic Black / Death Metal. This is radically different! It is even further away from the norm than their previous album. The music has many layers & therefore needs many listens. But it is all well worth it! Recommended! Favorite track: Pseudocidal.

about

Australian band Plasmodium shocked listeners with their astounding debut that was an incredible expression of spacey, convoluted black/death metal like no other. For their sophomore album, they've harnessed the same ideals and embraced atmospheric elements into their decidedly free-flowing, organic-sounding and tangibly terrifying music to lend to it an otherworldly air - at any given point of time there's a sense of looming dread and impending cacophony. This is certainly not meant for the more conventional or easy listening metal fans because the music can reach a crescendo of morbid proportions, but for the fans of the extreme, there is nothing better than a pure cathartic release, one that is visceral and palpable. The atmospheric parts appearing after the mind-numbing rampage feel like a dimension-transcending breakthrough of some kind in an intense and demanding psychedelic trip. No one will emerge unscathed from this experience.
