Album lore

Soaked In The Sands, issued in mid-2022 on the band’s own Spire of Lazarus imprint, stakes a claim at the crossroads of deathcore and avant-garde experimentalism. The eight-track set leavens brutal, technical riffing and guttural vocals with fragments of free jazz and electroacoustic textures. Notable contributions come from vocalists Pipi Gogerl and Max Nagl, featured on several cuts including "Mask of the Wraith," where their interplay punctuates the dense, jagged instrumentation.The album’s palette shifts fluidly between bombastic death metal aggression and moments of unexpected dissonance, creating a layered, complex artifact that resists easy categorization. Tracks like "Dahaka" and "The Rekem Reservoir" emphasize relentless rhythmic precision, while passages incorporating free jazz elements reveal an interest in improvisatory freedom. This record situates itself firmly within a lineage of metal that challenges its own boundaries, offering a challenging listen for those versed in the heavier, more experimental fringes.
