ASTRIFEROUS

ASTRIFEROUS stream ME SACO UN OJO / PULVERISED debut album

Today, Costa Rican death metallers Astriferous stream the entirety of their highly anticipated debut album, Pulsations From the Black Orb. Set for international release on March 10th – Me Saco Un Ojo Records will handle the vinyl version while Pulverised Records will handle the CD version – hear Astriferous‘ Pulsations From the Black Orb in its entirety here:

Two demos, one split, one MLP: these are the releases Astriferous have already left an impression with. But now, this Costa Rican death metal juggernaut is back with their full-length studio debut, Pulsations From the Black Orb.

Decay, despair, and bubbling rot come to the surface with the abhorrent opening piece. Setting a gargantuan monolith to crumble before us, the intensity is high even before we truly begin. Roaring vocals and meaty riffs stain the air as pummeling drums bludgeon the skull to smithereens. The raw and ineffably dark production is one that will immediately leave non-diehards running with their tails between their legs. But those who can hack the savage attack of the senses will hear some truly phenomenal, atmospheric, and yet unforgiving death metal that spews rot and hacks limbs while some cleverly placed riffs give a very uncomfortable ambience to the whole thing. The gripping and unique approach is delivered at high-tempos to ensure maximum damage while some gloomier passages give a rich, textured, and hauntingly ghastly dynamic to the record. Blending the cacophonous Finnish death metal titans of old with some South American deathrashing violence, Astriferous conjure an atmosphere and sound entirely of their own while reading from the ancient tomes of morbidity.

Firing on all cylinders, this record is an amalgamation of the band’s best works. The doomy parts are more spectral than ever, the bestial aggression is unrivalled in savagery, and the progression as putrescent as one could dream of. Those who have followed the Astriferous journey can revel in the splendor that they have reached here with their best achievement to date. New maniacs can be won over by their first experience being a truly remarkable milestone in death metal from a far-off corner of the world, proudly planting the Costa Rican flag in the underground’s conscious with a truly marvelous, menacing, and engrossing cut of excellence. Much like the chasmic, void-like vortex of grotesqueries on the cover art, this album will pull you into a pool of macabre oddities and never let you go… [text by Jørgen Sven Kirby, Nattskog webzine]

ASTRIFEROUS reveal first track from ME SACO UN OJO debut mini-album

Today, uprising death metal cult Astriferous reveal the new track “Myriad of Grotesquerie.” The track is the first to be revealed from the band’s highly anticipated debut mini-album, The Lower Levels of Sentience, set for international release on August 7th via Me Saco Un Ojo Ojo Records on 12″ vinyl format; Pulverised Records shall be handling the CD version, while Desert Wastelands Productions will handle the tape version.
Hear Astriferous‘ “Myriad of Grotesquerie” here:
Hailing from Costa Rica, Astriferous formed in 2018 and quickly set to work on their first recording. With a couple members concurrently doing time in Bloodsoaked Necrovoid, it’s no surprise that that first Astriferous‘ recording, Raise High the Scepter of Indulgence, was of such exemplary quality. Indeed, from the very beginning was the band’s aesthetic firm and fully formed: utterly gutted, sepulchral Metal of Death betraying an undeniable supernatural aspect.

A live rehearsal followed earlier this year, but at last has Astriferous‘ most ominous strike arrived: the four-song/21-minute The Lower Levels of Sentience. From its title on down to its four component song titles – “Ghost Universe,” “Exercises in Tantric Sorcery,” “Myriad of Grotesquerie,” and especially “Necrohallucination” – it’s immediately apparent the Costa Rican quartet are drawing from a different pool of inspiration for their dread creations. Bleak and bottomless is that abyss, and Astriferous literally drown the listener in death metal molded from grotesque shapes, otherworldly pulses, and hideous energies. Their attack is squarely within pure ‘n’ proud DEATH METAL – churning, caustic, crushing – but sliced and sluiced are frayed threads of blackgrind and the bestial arts, altogether coalescing into a slipstream of sinister atmosphere and boundless morbidity.

Neither resolutely “old school” and far too unclean for the new school, Astriferous are searching for cosmic caverns all their own with The Lower Levels of Sentience.

 Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Astriferous’ The Lower Levels of Sentience
1. Ghost Universe [4:37]
2. Exercises In Tantric Sorcery [4:34]
3. Myriad Of Grotesquerie [4:20]
