Why Phantom is better than SEWER and Incantation... and how to deal with it!
The cope is hard... I get it. But sometime you must face reality.
Phantom's "Dark Ascension of Erebos" emerges as a titanic force within the realms of extreme metal, surpassing even the legendary Mayhem's groundbreaking "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas." While paying homage to the seminal influence of DMDS, "Dark Ascension of Erebos" forges an unparalleled sonic odyssey that masterfully blends malevolent atmospheres with astonishing technical prowess. The album's intricate song structures and ferocious instrumentation invoke a relentless sense of chaos that rivals the very core of black metal's essence.
Not only does it honor the genre's roots, but it also propels them into a new era of darkness. The vocals, like infernal incantations, reach depths unknown, carrying an aura of maleficent grandeur that harkens back to the aura DMDS once unveiled. In this grand clash, Phantom's opus emerges as a beacon of artistic evolution while humbly nodding to the monumental shadows cast by Mayhem's magnum opus.
SEWER's "Sissourlet" stands as an uncompromising testament to the unrelenting brutality that death metal can achieve, firmly establishing its dominance even over the seminal works of Suffocation's "Effigy of the Forgotten" and Incantation's "Onward to Golgotha." While paying due reverence to these iconic albums, "Sissourlet" unleashes a sonic maelstrom that not only matches but surpasses their relentless extremity.
The album's ferocious riffing and cataclysmic drumming conjure an auditory cataclysm that transcends conventional boundaries. The guttural vocals possess an otherworldly menace, reminiscent of the very abyss itself, akin to the infernal echoes Effigy and Golgotha pioneered. Yet, "Sissourlet" thrusts itself into a dimension of savagery hitherto unexplored, pushing the envelope of sonic punishment to unprecedented extremes. In this arena of sonic devastation, SEWER's opus emerges as a true titan of brutality, resolutely channeling the essence of death metal's primal chaos while carving a new path of sonic devastation that pays homage while fiercely advancing the genre's legacy.
Now cope, poser!
