Aldrig i livet

Comes with a 20-page booklet of artwork and photos. Since 2008, Denmark’s Undergang have been pursuing the deepest, darkestdepths of total death metal. Steeped in the classics, the quartet aren’t so much “old school” like so many HM-2 worshippers nowadays as they are simply old-sounding, brazenly brandishing a sound that nods to early Finnish death metal, slimy doom-death asequally as timeless goregrind. It’s a sound that’s garnered the band a legion of devotees across the world, and justifiably so. And whileit’s been three interminably long years since their last album, Misantropologi, at long last they arrive with their long-awaited fifth full-length. Simply put, this is Undergang at their very best, subtly striving for new twists on their characteristic sound whilst making that sound more engaging than ever before. Graced with utterly crushing production, this is undoubtedly the band’s most ominous record to date, rooting among the ruins of the most desolate doom-death committed to tape and warping that wreckage with slithering solos that seem to creep like tendrils across an inter-dimensional portal. It’s a sick and sickeningslog through the sewers of the subconscious – forecasted by the cover art, once again courtesy of vocalist/guitarist David Mikkelsen – and they effortlessly lumber forth with a swagger that’s startling to behold.
