Coscradh emerged from the Irish bogs to summon ancient violence. Formed with an obsession for the harsh realities of old Gaelic war and druidic rituals, the band blasts out pure auditory hostility. Their second album "Carving The Causeway To The Otherworld" takes myths of blood sacrifices and celestial war gods, turning them into a total assault. The band channels six-thousand-year-old graves and star-born mysticism into their sonic attacks, offering zero compromises.

Listening to "Carving The Causeway To The Otherworld" throws you into the middle of a brutal, primitive battlefield. Guitars scorch through the speakers, firing off rusted riffs that cut through the absolute chaos. The drumming is a relentless beating, hammering down on the kit like hooves trampling over destroyed soil. Vocals rip through the noise as wild war cries directed at cold stars. Everything is draped in dirt and blood, pushing a hostile assault on the ears. It is relentless black/death metal devastation.

The extreme hostility works well most of the time. Sometimes the sheer chaotic onslaught blends the riffs into a massive wall of noise, making it tricky to separate the individual attacks. You get blasted with continuous aggression, and the endless blasting occasionally blurs the songwriting. The atmospheric druidic elements are cool and add a grim aura to the carnage. When Coscradh locks into a heavy groove amidst the blasts, the music destroys everything in its path.

"Carving The Causeway To The Otherworld" delivers a massive dose of savage fury for maniacs who worship acts like Teitanblood and Malthusian. Coscradh harnesses an ancient destructive energy, tearing up the earth with primitive force. A solid, hostile offering of extreme metal from the Irish underground that leaves a bloody mark.
