USA-based black metallers Sarcoptes will release on the 24th of February 2023 via Transcending Obscurity Records their new album entitled Prayers To Oblivion. After giving us a taste of what's to come with their stunning EP in Plague Hymns, Sarcoptes brings us their highly awaited full length and it's got everything they've promised and more.
They've mastered the art of writing near 15-minute epic songs that are an immaculate blend of black and thrash metal laced with atmospheric bits for further emphasis and have alternated them with shorter ones on this album. Each of the songs follows an interconnected series of historical tragedies in chronological order and it's brilliantly thought and expressed over here, from the events of World War I to the Vietnam war. It's an intense, balanced and absorbing album that keeps you riveted because of the constantly changing patterns and structures and stands out in style for doing its own thing. You definitely need this in your collection if you're into fast, driven, thrash-influenced black metal with a flair for storytelling.
Two brand-new tracks can be heard in the player below. Recommended to fans of Emperor, Nifelheim, Daeva, Aura Noir, Destroyer 666, Immortal, Absu, Abbath, early Satyricon,... Link
