Description
Formed in 2003, Italys UNCTORIS have long been an outsider band for true outsiders. Their releases over those many years are sparse and sporadic, but theyve justifiably earned an infamous reputation in their homeland for being real maniacs ask any seasoned underground black/death band whove had the rare opportunity to play with UNCTORIS. But, extracurricular actions or none, its their music which has unsettled and stratified with total compunction: weird & wild black/death METAL malformed beyond belief, where one never quite knows whats coming next…or whether the current riff is gonna hammer away into infinity. Verily, UNCTORIS make musick for themselves only. Poignant, pus-filled proof can be found with their LONG-awaited debut album, Shout Demise. Much like the records quizzical title itself, UNCTORIS multi-tentacled attack here makes total sense because it makes NO SENSE by systematically destroying those senses with brittle and bitter shards of the crudest black metal and most ancient death metal and even undigested doom. Its simultaneously tension-inducing and massively mesmerizing, as endless catacombs of sound are explored and then defiled with devilish intent. Naturally, domestic legends like Mortuary Drape and even Death SS are touchstones, but more so are the cult likes of Morbid Upheaval and Goatfire. We can also mention the mind-mangling likes of Canadas Lust, early Lugubrum, and current labelmates MALGÖTH and TYRANNIC – but really, Shout Demise is wholly its own insane experience. If you are a false, do not entry UNCTORIS Shout Demise!
