THE OMINOUS CIRCLE (Por) – ‘Cloven Tongues of Fire’ LP Gatefold (Orange vinyl)

Sophisticated yet raw, dynamic and fierce, presenting a different approach to songwriting while continuing the path of 2017’s acclaimed “Appalling Ascension”, “Cloven Tongues of Fire” delivers 43 minutes of black-infused Death metal with monolithic slabs of doom. A defaced abomination of low-tuned impious riffing, dissonant patterns and wildfire rhythms, from the manic blasting of “Through Tunnels Ablaze” to the gargantuan epic that is “Utterance of the Formless”, forming a tome of Dark Death Metal necromancy.
