Crypt of the Ancient Fire, by Slugathor

Crypt of the Ancient Fire

by Slugathor

supported by

Ruthless & Toothless Slugathor have always been head and shoulders above the rest, and they’re clearly still deserving of the title. Picking up from where Echoes From Beneath left off, the band sound as if they haven’t missed a beat. This is an absolute steamroller of an album that crushes all the corny ‘new wave of OSDM’ wannabes-all hail the return of Slugathor!

about

Finnish death metal masters are back!! SLUGATHOR worships at the altar of the heaviest death metal bands of yore but, impressively, has transformed from a "me too" old school death metal band at their beginning into a rumbling juggernaut of creative inspiration. What they are out to do is to write some crushing death metal, and that is where they definitely succeed. New album "Crypt of Ancient Fire" is now available in CD including an 8 pages booklet.

I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise. zirtonic

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Slow, dark and gloomy as if giant mold ate the Earth alive. Great sound, great arrangements, great muscianship. The right amount of everything in every aspect. To my ears in this genre surprisingly colorful record. Great band deserving our attention! yesfan2
