New Danish outfit Recitation, which is carrying an unique approach in their effortless blend of doom, death metal and a mind-bending psychedelic vibe, will release their debut album entitled Carrion through Denmark based DIY label Indisciplinarian on 12th October. Carrion is a term for the post-life corpus of rotting flesh - consists of one solitary twenty-seven-minute track: the uncompromising movement that is the song "Carrion". Thematically, it deals with the human feelings of meaninglessness and depression when confronted with the harsh reality of inevitable decay and death - a basic condition for all flesh that inhibits the earth and beyond.
The debut from Recitation is a dark and feverish journey undertaken to a music of demise - a crushing, monotonous movement through a desperate musical night, where the riffs rise as monoliths of death, telling a tale of what little time we are given. The voyage can be described as a non-linear composition consisting of a series of repetitive progressions giving way to the vibe, the riff and a slow crushing feel in a way that conjures up an experience of stretching time and presence. It's music working on another level of being - metaphysical and yet very present in the earthly life. It's a journey that you undertake, painfully aware, while led astray - a journey we all have to take. The first album teaser can be checked below. Link
