quasiotter solid album all the way through. definitely at their best when they're changing it up multiple times within a a song. i'm sure the narrative is evil and shit but i cannot understand anything Favorite track: Souls In Formaldehyde.

Dumb mmmn i was sitting at the bar at a local taco joint (Fuzzy's) and I was reading 'The Tomb' while enjoying grilled fish tacos (I had them again yesterday and they WEREN'T good - overcooked). It was a fancy hardcover that collected the complete works of H.P.
2 little old ladies were leaving and asked me if I was reading my bible... "yes", i said

Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass) Somehow missed this on release but thankfully stumbled across it later. Fantastic piece of death metal worthy of the 'Lovecraftian' vibe. Favorite track: An Obsolete Creation.

about

Exhumed from the crypts of the forgotten Finnish death metal gods, the music of BIZARRE is like an ancient dark force that has been summoned to be unleashed with magnified intensity upon the unsuspecting masses. Shrouded in layers of impenetrable darkness and reeking of otherworldly Lovecraftian horror and mystique, the music has an enchanting effect on the audience. Possessed-sounding vocals instil a sense of fear penetrating deep into the subconscious, as the guitars weave a dual-pronged attack comprising of body-maiming riffs and heart-stabbing melodies that sound like plaintive cries of souls trapped in bottomless limbo, all in all, orchestrating a diabolical onslaught invoking hell on earth. ‘Invocation Codex’ has been initiated to honour the true spirit of obscure death metal and wreak havoc in manners deemed necessary in such an era.

For fans of - ADRAMELECH, (early) DEPRAVITY, (early) SENTENCED, (early) CEMETARY, GOREMENT, (early) AMORPHIS, MORBID ANGEL, GHASTLY, SEPULCHRAL CURSE
