Info:
Upon hearing "Decrepit Flesh Relic", the first album from CIVEROUS, one was left with a feeling of intense suffocating weight and agonal prostration in the service of bone-breaking death hymns.
With the towering new album, "Maze Envy", LA’s most creatively destructive Death / Doom ensemble let loose a freshly evolved but no less brutal conflagration of immersive horror and morbid lamentation.
Where Death / Doom may often stay in safe and unadventerous realms of narrow focus, "Maze Envy" presents a more far-reaching breadth of ambition, where unusual technicality, progressive atmospheres, string flourishes and chaotic mysticism radiate a purple light of the soul’s ascension from the black oceans of dread CIVEROUS inhabit. Chain-dragging dirge, blackened blasting, and the savage ferocity of Lord Foul’s hellish vocal exorcisms exalt "Mazy Envy" with a hellish grandeur within its myriad paths to oblivion.
With a massively crushing sound, "Maze Envy" is end times music for an age in which that reckoning feels unfathomably close. CIVEROUS batter the senses into a state of labyrinthian turmoil from which emergence is ever more implausible.
