REVIEW: Skeletal Remains – The Entombment Of Chaos. Another brilliant post-metal entry into the metal hall of fame by Cult of Luna. The debt can be erased, the outer wall come crumbling down No one agreed to die for a smart phone

You will soon learn what I mean about THAT RIFF dominating the track.

A reckoning - Do we expect some reprieve? Don’t write us off just now

I would be lying if I said I didn’t have HEROD in mind when I said this, as the Swiss group fall into the latter category with their progressive sludge and their hardcore brutality.

A colour new to taste, with countless thoughts overlooking Increased knowledge is increased sorrow Ultra violence of comfort and ego, such ego as the mob flounder, clutching at straws for hope The latest from this one-man sludge metal project from Baltimore is discordant, spacious, and as heavy as a full group could ever be. This is followed by Don’t Speak Last, a 10 minute opus which begins with a claustrophobic ambience, tension and a sense of impending doom. Having first been exposed to the sound of Herod when they opened up the European Deathcrusher tour in support of the heavyweight lineup of Carcass, Napalm Death, Obituary and Voivoid in 2015, it was with much admiration that despite being given a short time slot, they definitely impressed and more than held their own amongst the company of such extreme metal legends.

Our civilisation has, it has values no more It's coming down! Run! Just the way I like my relationships with strangers. The sludgy grooves, the skull-crushing riffs, the euphoric climax…this song is a triumph and guarantees Sombre Dessein gets the send off it … Ever since that tour, the Swiss band have building their brand of heavy as thou sludge metal with a technical and progressive edge to it across the globe, garnering support throughout. We are limiting ourselves verbally to a benign existence Or the acceptance of the splendour of humanity? Spoke with fork tongue Structurally, it is an album that shares much in common with post-Metal. But who's the one to judge any of it?

From the intro to opening salvo Forked Tongue to The the monolithic album closer There Will Be Gods, this is a lesson in heaviness and shows what a force to be reckoned with, Herod have grown into and all the praise that will come their way is well deserved. A Liar, a silent end? Sombre Dessein is the band’s second record and the first to feature new vocalist Mike Pilat (ex-THE OCEAN) who has quickly become one of the band’s greatest strengths. Raw, doomy, dynamic, and heavy.

(Do I have time) Decorate mourning grounds like your bedroom dresser The mostly instrumental track is one of my musical highlights of 2019 so far. Provided one is the dictator Mastered by CULT OF LUNA’s Magnus Lindberg and boasting epic, heavy soundscapes, Sombre Dessein is the soundtrack to the death of a civilisation.

Best to listen to it in one sitting for the richest reward.

It still is the best post-metal experience to arrive in 2019 so far and should be looked upon in a very positive note because of it. None should agonise great delusion!

Nature accomplishes truth in silence Such an even flow for the rapture The gradual build up becomes overwhelming until everything collapses into a storming spread of chaos. I am son, and so are you - so to hell with it! Somber Dessein is an album that grows on you each time you listen to it and will be right up there when it comes to extreme metals albums of the year lists in ten months time.

Run! I recently stated on Instagram that 2019 would be the year for black metal and sludgy hardcore. eval(ez_write_tag([[580,400],'invictamagazine_com-medrectangle-3','ezslot_5',107,'0','0'])); The albums standout tracks have to be the mighty blast of Reckoning, which has a multitude of riffs that Meshuggah would be proud to call their own and the vast and hypnotic whirlwind closing number There Will Be Gods, which showcases the spirit and soul of Herod into its almost ten minute length but the whole album deserves recognition in terms of heaviness and execution. Believe benevolent dictatorshit

Ride the ship then sink it down Time is not so optimistic when we realise our tragic wisdom Out via Pelagic Records! Herod have upped the ante with this one, and it will be with anticipation to see where they will go from here, but for now, embrace the chaotic nature and joyous heaviness of Somber Dessein.

Absolutely colossal. All hail the progressive sludge. A place for hope?

Ironically the mob are the straws, straws are weak

A truly monstrous song, you could do worse than start here. Humanities deafening consumption (Covered by blood)(Covered by blood), Festin décadent des hommes-dieux The outer wall crumbling down

There will be gods, as long as men will, be afraid of death. The mostly instrumental track is one of my musical highlights of 2019 so far. And then cry into this self chosen poverty sect

Beginning of the end In amongst the heaviness, there is a sense of variety, Forked Tongue for example and the melodic segments and beginning of the truly epic Don’t Speak Last, but ultimately this is an album that is defined by its heaviness, something it has in abundance. Everything goes exactly according to the plan Makes me the one!) When compared directly to my favourite album of last year by The Ocean, Sombre Dessein comes a bit short.
