After the wildly abhorrent existence of the band’s 2018 demo, AUTOPHAGY returns with the imminent debut album “Bacteriophage”, a series of ear-assault sonics drowned in befouled Death Metal bliss!
Come 2022, AUTOPHAGY reeks of an utter flesh-consuming monstrosity like a well-oiled machine. While absolutely subterranean in nature, “Bacteriophage” also lurks deep into sewage-rotten riffs morphing in perfect syncopation with the unabating fury of the drums like a merciless blitz-storm. Bleak and putrefying undertones are apparent all over the record, where the influence and dynamics of Doom are seeping in.
Engaging the adept and capable engineering prowess of Charlie Koryn (Funebrarum, Ascended Dead, ex-Skeletal Remains, etc) at Toadhouse Studios, also coming onboard for engineering and mixing duties is the illustrious producer Billy Anderson (Sleep, Neurosis, Eyehategod, Pallbearer, Bell Witch, etc) at Everything HZ. Mastered by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio (Cephalic Carnage, Khemmis, Cattle Decapitation, etc). Artwork by Marcio Blasphemator (Hellripper, Diabolical Force, Whipstriker, etc).
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
Le premier EeeaaarrK ! de l'album m'a convaincu. On peut pas entamer un album au chant comme ça et ensuite plus rien. Bah justement non, après, y a pas plus rien !
Bon attention, là faut maîtriser la double négation les ami.es.
Bref, un disque qui te promène dans un park d'attraction, où chaque attraction a pour but de te dévisser les os du squelette. gregory duveau
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
The Seattle band is optimized for one thing, and one thing alone: making music that’s as foul and disgusting as possible. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 15, 2019
Culinary-themed melodic death metal outfit cook up a smorgasbord of fierce solos, tight percussion, and cheeky, foodie-approved screeds. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 11, 2024
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
