gwcon2006 Excellent release. The cover art is Fantastic and caught my attention. Glad I gave it a spin. Thanks for the METAL Thanatotherion!

Lorenzo Bizarre and creative thrash / 90s black metal infected with a progressive edge in a off-kilter way. Meeting at an intersection somewhere between Emporer, Voivod, and Absu but not quite meeting any of those bands neatly, Alienation Manifesto is an aptly titled album of vicious guitars, scathing vocals, and weirdo flourishes pulling in a cold 'sci-fi' sound.

TheEliteExtremophile Both this act and Ulthar feature blistering cosmic blackened death metal, but Thanatotherion features lusher soundscapes supported by synthesizers.

maoltod Harp and lap-steel guitar are quite the combination. Really interesting color palette for a laid-back, library quartet.

I wish there were another couple tracks. Nothing I’ve heard sounds quite like this. I love it.

WHO is the steel guitar player, btw?

username450 top tier harp Favorite track: Heady.

djfrancesco it is so peaceful... Favorite track: Mammone.

pooloflight Perfect acoustic drone. That very sound and structure i've been searching for. Ideal tracks length.

Nuclear Girl Even better than the debut! Dimension of Deviant Clusters is more sickly, more fractious, yet also feels more refined and capable as a singulat work of art. Favorite track: Universally Estranged.

Lorenzo Weird as(s) shit death metal that takes the sound of the genre and simply throws it adrift in favour of the cosmic everything. Blending a healthy amount of electronic elements, UE deliver a baffling album. Multiple pacings wash over one another in a sickly ooze, coming together in a bizarrely formless yet wholly realized way.

Taking an old-school vibe but ensuring it is somehow both aloof and linear in delivery is a fair description of it. The guitars and vocals are simply astounding

chamber pot blues Track 5, 0:50 Favorite track: Dimension of Deviant Clusters.

Salami Dick Death As a fan of Cosmic DM I’ve surmised the true originators of the genre are Atheist. Being a massive fan of the early Florida Death Metal scene it never really struck me until this album. Timeghoul, Blood Incantation and Tomb Mold been doin cool stuff for years. But never has an album drawn a straighter line back to its forebears than this. Lesser known, yet taking the lead with a new classic in the canon. An absolute must own.

kaamos666 Amazing music! Reminds me in its intrumental parts of Exivious. Nice bass by the way. Favorite track: (Petrified in the) Hypogean Gaol.

Jamie Platt Masterful stuff coming from Cryptic Shift, dammit, if they didn't blow my mind and send me through the cosmos!!

spiro75 what an amazing death metal album it is... highly recommended. Favorite track: Exordium.

toad Cadavaric Fumes have written a love letter to the dark and moody OSDM classics with this album. You can hear the direct influence from Scream Bloody Gore, Spiritual Healing, Altars, Blessed Are the Sick, and more. What a note to end their discography on. Bravo Cadavaric Fumes. You have made something truly special. Favorite track: Voidgazers.

deathevokation666 Dark 'n' immersive. Excellent riffs, solos, and abysmal melodies compliment powerful rhythms 'n' morbid vocals. CD arrived in 17 days from Sweden to Iowa, USA. Quality modern death metal worth owning!

Herman This is going to be an incredible swan song for an amazing band.
Edit: It is. Favorite track: Voidgazers.
