Desekryptor (USA) - Vortex Oblivion LP

For nearly a decade now, Indiana's DESEKRYPTOR have been patiently perfecting their craft. 

In 2023DESEKRYPTOR revealed the full fathom of poise & power with their debut album, Vortex Oblivion. Aptly titled, Vortex Oblivion is a churning 'n' spurning vacuum of charred riffing, mangled rhythms, and dread atmosphere. As they've proven in the past but more so display here, DESEKRYPTOR keenly navigate that spectral divide between classic / "old school" death metal and the genre's tendrilous developments in recent years. From heads-down tank propulsion and doomed-out stomp on to atonal and/or angular twists and mesmerizing blackened slip streaming, no tool of death metal's ancient and modern schools is left untouched. But, above all, it's the manner in which DESEKRYPTOR wield those tools that puts Vortex Oblivion over, the band's songwriting acumen pulling it all together to create a seamless experience and still leaving plenty of atmosphere to spare as you're summarily crushed - and then minced. This is what classic death metal debuts are made of!
