SANGUINE WOUNDS / DEVOURING FAMINE - The Seal of Vampyric Tyranny LP

SANGUINE WOUNDS especially maintain a grim & ghostly style of vampiric black metal that focuses on the weirder and more malformed aspects of Mütiilation and Vlad Tepes and extends them into an uneasy fever dream. A mood-setting intro is followed by two epic tracks of their characteristic cantankerousness. DEVOURING FAMINE, for their part, have maintained a sound that spans a whole long-lost decade’s worth of monochromaticism, from Malicious-era Gorgoroth to pre-“religious” DeathSpell Omega. Still ancient, their two black metal tracks here maintain that aesthetic purity but twist it in surprising ways, all before a closing funeral organ lament. Revive your bloodlust with this vinyl edition of The Seal of Vampyric Tyranny.
