"Sparagmos" LP od Spectral Voice

Sparagmos' by Spectral Voice unfolds as a significant second full-length Album under the banner of Dark Descent Records, marking the culmination of a period dedicated to katabatic exploration of the material.

The title itself, alluding to the Dionysian rite of tearing limbs apart, sets the stage for a profound exploration of life, death, and the untamed essence within.

'The content of the Album oscillates between lamentation and exultation. An immersive, morbid atmosphere of burial reality yearns for liberation from death and mourns the agony of life. Paired with moments of frenetic madness, sublimity, terror, and ecstasy, this is the point we seek to reach,' reflects drummer/vocalist E. Wendler.

Influences from the esoteric realms of death, black, doom metal, dark ambient, and mysterious litresature converge and shape Spectral Voice's highly realized manifestation. With the sonic abilities of M. Kolontyrsky (guitar), P. Riedl (guitar), and J. Barrett (bass) – also known for their work in Blood Incantation – along with drummer/vocalist E. Wendler, Spectral Voice weaves a tapestry of sound with a level of excellence that surpasses even their own high standards.

Without a doubt, Sparagmos is considered a definitive death metal highlight of 2024.
