ARCHAIC TOMB (Por) – ‘Congregations for Ancient Rituals’ MCD

From the ritualistic tom-tumbling crescendo introduction onwards, Archaic Tomb set the tone perfectly for what is to follow; 25 minutes of malevolent mid-tempo Death Metal that doesn’t try to fool you with flashy fills or excessive theatrics, just solid riff after solid fucking riff. Fans of Grave Miasma beware!
