From Brussels rises Abysmal Descent,
a new death metal formation born from members of Dehuman,
Putrid Offal, Echo
Solar Void, and Neptunian Maximalism.
Their debut, "Dismal Thoughts", released through Nuclear Winter Records, throws the listener
straight into the heart of darkness that defines classic death metal, sculpted
with an oppressive and unrelenting approach.
This album unfolds
like a slow drag through a crypt, heavy and suffocating in atmosphere. The
production is raw enough to retain its underground spirit but refined to let
every crushing riff and guttural roar stand tall. The guitars twist and churn
through layers of distortion, while the drumming never loosens its grip,
keeping everything locked in a punishing rhythm. There’s a sinister sense of
structure to the compositions, each track moving with grim purpose, balancing
chaos with control.
The atmosphere remains
consistent from start to finish, cold, oppressive, and unyielding. There’s no
attempt at false grandeur or theatrics here, only pure, focused death metal. Abysmal Descent clearly understands the art of
evoking dread through precision and restraint, crafting a sound that feels
ancient yet alive, like something unearthed from a forgotten tomb. "Dismal
Thoughts" is not just another debut. It’s a manifesto of intent from a band
of seasoned musicians who know exactly what they’re invoking. A vision of death
metal that’s uncompromising, abyssal, and heavy in spirit.
Score: 7.0
