USA based black metal duo Sarcoptes released on 22nd April their debut album entitled Songs And Dances Of Death through Cimmerian Shade Records, and is a thing not to be overlooked. The band is playing bombastic black metal from US and aiming for something that isn't being done often. Now what they're doing different is that they're playing a form of atmospheric black/thrash metal that's both vicious and symphonic at the same time. In a way it's what Immortal would sound like if they had adopted keyboards. Sarcoptes sound majestic and wicked, and have spent an incredible amount of time in the studio perfecting the mix so that it sounds the way it should, where every aspect of the music is complementing each other despite the apparent conflicting natures. There are hardly any bands that sound as forceful and convincing as this when the word atmospheric gets thrown about. And Sarcoptes are doing it with a ton of class. Unmatched in their scope, they're set to achieve great things, defying conventions, and moving ahead with the times. You can get the album at this location and in the player below give a listen to the track "The Fall Of Constantinople". Link
