"Sparagmos" CD by Spectral Voice

Sparagmos' by Spectral Voice unfolds as a significant second full-length Album under the banner of Dark Descent Records, marking the culmination of a period devoted to the cataclysmic immersion into the material. The title itself, referring to the Dionysian ritual of tearing limbs apart, sets the stage for a profound exploration of life, death, and the untamed essence within.

'The content of the Album oscillates between lamentation and elation. An immersive, morbid atmosphere of burial reality yearns for liberation from death and mourns the agony of life. Paired with moments of frenzied madness, sublimity, terror, and ecstasy, this is the point we are striving to attain,' reflects drummer/vocalist E. Wendler.

Influences from the esoteric realms of death, black, doom metal, dark ambient, and mysterious litresature converge and shape Spectral Voice's highly realized manifestation. With the sonic abilities of M. Kolontyrsky (guitar), P. Riedl (guitar), and J. Barrett (bass) – also known for Blood Incantation – as well as drummer/vocalist E. Wendler, Spectral Voice weaves a sonic tapestry with a level of excellence that surpasses even their own high standards.

Undoubtedly, Sparagmos is considered the definitive death metal highlight of 2024.
