credits

released September 26, 2018

"Coming from the United Kingdom, formed in 2014, this quintet released a demo in 2017 and now debuts a more solid release in the shape of this “Monument of Decay” EP. After a quick first listening, one can say that these guys don’t kid around. This record contains five punishing songs (plus an intro), and it is suffocating, crushing, merciless and remarkable. The sickening guitar riffs of songs like “Worms” or “Shrine” allied with the haunting growling vocals create a hellish atmosphere. Another important aspect worth mentioning is the great and perfectly-fitting drum work provided by Gareth Hodgson, known for his fantastic work in A Forest Of Stars.

In the overall shape and form, we can find influences of acts like Grave Miasma, Ulcerate or their fellows UK comrades Dragged Into Sunlight. Also we can spot a few dissonant riffing in the vein of Deathspell Omega in songs like “Shrine”. The musical structures dwell between furious blasting and chaotic riffing with the occasional mid-tempo sections filled with dissonant riffs. But it is done quite well, so there aren’t any weird passages or sections which feel out of place or random. The fact that this EP is a good 20 minutes of hell in the shape of music, leaves you craving for more. And that’s how it should make you feel. It’s short, it’s crushing, it excels on making the listener want to press that play button again. There are no fillers here, only killer tracks.

Overall, “Monument of Decay” is Filthy Blackened Death metal at is finest. Definitely a band to watch out for if you appreciate extreme death/black metal." the black planet

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Unsettling Whispers

supported by 10 fans who also own “monument to decay”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

Ghost Light
by Galaktik Cancer Squad

supported by 8 fans who also own “monument to decay”

Galaktik Cancer Squad a muté : dans Ghost Light, la présence du chant se confirme (et il est très furieux) et la production met la batterie un peu en retrait, ce qui permet d'oublier qu'elle est programmée. Malgré tous ces changements, le travail de compositions sur les guitares, plus proches du black metal, est toujours aussi impeccable avec quelques riffs, notamment sur "In lichterlosen Weiten" et "Hypnose", qui sont presque légendaires — comprenne qui pourra ! Vivement un prochain album !! Jordan Vauvert
