The USA-based doom/death metal band Spectral Voice has announced its sophomore album, Sparagmos, to be released on 9 February 2024 via Dark Descent Records. Clocking in at over 45 minutes long, Sparagmos features four soul-disturbing tracks of abyssal death/doom; the first unveiled one, "Red Feasts Condensed Into One", awaits you in the player below.
Spectral Voice's Sparagmos marks the culmination of a period devoted to katabatic immersion into the material. The title, alluding to the Dionysian rite of being torn limb from limb, sets the stage for a profound exploration of life, death, and the untamed essence within.
"The content of the album oscillates between lamentation and exaltation. An immersive, morbid atmosphere of funereality longs for the liberation of death and mourns the agony of life. Coupled with moments of frenetic madness, grandeur, terror and ecstasy, the point we are trying to get to is the moment in which - through sacrifice - atavistic wildness is unleashed, and the ultimate exaltation of life through death is realized", reflects drummer/vocalist E. Wendler.
Influences drawn from the esoteric realms of death, black, doom metal, dark ambient, and arcane literature converge to shape Spectral Voice's most realized manifestation. Link
