Singapore?s death metal trio VRYKOLAKAS tear through their fifth full-length, "Nocturnal Dominion of Death", with a ferocity that is ritualistic, dramatic and filled with mythologically dark themes. The band conjures a sonic vision of flailing horrors and the eternal clash between divine forces and encroaching darkness, delivering a barrage that is both atmospheric and utterly merciless. This album is a brazen death metal assault that is dense, cutting, and relentless, yet steeped in an eerie, nocturnal aura that elevates the violence. Old-school death metal fanatics, tomb-stench addicts, and underground purists will inhale the rot emanating from every track. What VRYKOLAKAS offer here is honest, unfiltered death metal, forged in the spirit of the genre's golden demo-era: raw, punishing, and gloriously unpretentious. A fantastic release from a band that continues to sharpen its blade with each offering.
If you worship the violent brutality of IMPIETY, ABHORER, KRISIUN, SURRENDER OF DIVINITY, early ANGELCORPSE, early DEICIDE, or early VITAL REMAINS, then VRYKOLAKAS will carve directly into your flesh.
