REVERENCE TO PAROXYSM (Mex) – ‘Lux Morte’ CD

Eerie soundscapes entwine with putrescent primitive pounding, giving a rancid and yet atmospheric listen. The more you delve into this record, the more subtle nuances you will find scattered throughout which add texture and detail while falling into the monstrously cataclysmic feel of the entire piece very naturally. Although an odiously primal energy is draped across this entire record, there are some very cleverly placed and unusual riffs that give a very unique and interesting feel to things as they cut through thundering bass or the razor-sharp cymbal work. The sparse vocals perfect play off of the instrumental parts to give the band this dense, foggy and oppressive sound. If you are of the school of Death Metal lover who needs subterranean riffing, crackling bass, bone-splintering drums and disgusting but varied vocals, then waste no time in checking this record out. Proceed with caution and succumb to the fetid, decaying world that is presented and be soaked in the rotten tapestry Reverence to Paroxysm have woven for you and prepare to be crushed by it.
