GOSUDAR (Ru) – ‘demo’ 7”EP (clear vinyl)

Death metal written on ancient manuscripts and delivered with a menacing scowl, this 2 song demo from Russia’s Gosudar offers a heavy dose of darkness and foreboding atmospheres, ruthless in execution as it builds to majestic heights, only to be torn down in crushing, doom filled waves of cyclonic destruction. Suffocating and bleak, and yet epic and sweeping, Gosudar should find immediate appeal among fans of Incantation, Dead Congregation and Cruciamentum.
