Oakland (USA) based black/death metal machine named Ulthar will release on 9th November through 20 Buck Spin their debut album entitled Cosmovore. Ulthar create something uniquely arcane within the Bay Area metal underground. The trio comes together on their debut full length Cosmovore to unleash a feral urgency for dizzying Absu like black metal with a death metal band’s bludgeoning violence.
Thematically heavy on weird, supernatural horror and a bizarre Rudimentary Peni surrealism, Ulthar are a difficult to classify spectral entity within the sphere of black metal. Members of Ulthar play in many other known Bay Area bands including Vastum and Extremity.
Over the course of Cosmovore’s 40 minute run time speeds careen forward at primarily unrelenting velocity, the opening title track instantly battering with primal persistence. The album’s middle section, a blinding storm of ghastly black dread, leads into the 13+ minute epic "Dunwich Whore" where the Ulthar universe becomes all consuming with proggy synth bookends, vertiginous tempo variation, grinding technical violence, and thrashed madness.
Yet another stellar debut album released under the 20 Buck Spin banner, Ulthar’s Cosmovore stands as the monstrous opening salvo of a band only beginning to wage war. Listen to the album title track in the player below and judge for yourself about this blackened sonic violence. Link
