VOID ROT – Descending Pillars CD

Description

American death-doom titans Void Rot return with their colossal debut full-length LP “Descending Pillars”, an imposing sonic monolith of obsidian slow death metal and dismal atmospherics that encases the listener into a monstrous sarcophagus of sound. In its immense forty minutes “Descending Pillars” conjures visions of otherworldly finality and of absurd forms of death and demise taking shape at the edge of a formless and implacable dark cosmos. With influences ranging from Grave, to Disembowelment, Incantation and Bolt Thrower, on “Descending Pillars” the Minnesota quartet re-establishes itself as visionary new act with an unparalleled sound and aesthetic of dismally towering proportions, cementing their reputation as one of contemporary death-doom’s most promising and visionary prospects along the ranks of entities like Krypts, Spectral Voice, and Vastum.
