⛧CHASM of PARADISE⛧ The whole album is amazing and very darksess!!! Favorite track: The Lifeless Advance.

mourner Brutal and massive yet melodic, dynamic and even delicate. In other words: perfect extreme metal. Pummeling, oppressive, a deep personal and emotional experience. One hell of a ride delivering the pure joy of excellency. Masterpiece. Favorite track: Stare Into Death and Be Still.

Metallurgical Fire The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.

about

The unmistakeable sound of ULCERATE finds its emotional apex on 6th album “Stare Into Death and Be Still”, as the band emerge from the claustrophobia and dissonance of their recent past to present a next-level exploration of melody, harmony and power.

The band’s signature ultra-atmospheric blend of highest order unorthodox Death Metal with the texture of futurist Black Metal is here pared-down with the consummate hand of experience, giving stunning credence to the riff, the song and the meaning.

Embracing production clarity, ULCERATE use these songs to fully showcase their otherworldly musicianship: a vocal performance from Paul Kelland of unadulterated authority, Michael Hoggard’s guitar and Jamie Saint Merat’s percussion working in tandem with startling skill and originality, simultaneously skewed and heart-rending, often addictively succinct and revelling in strident motifs that hook, haunt and transform the listener with their expressive honesty.

Thematically the album explores the concept of “death reverence” – drawing on recent personal experience to confront the truism that death and tragedy aren't always sudden or violent, that people are often passive observers trapped “in the silent horror of observing death calmly and cleanly”.

“Stare Into Death and Be Still” is the deepest, purest and most meticulous form of ULCERATE: a soul-searching conflagration of atypical melodicism, immaculate virtuosic dexterity and sublimated psychological upheaval. A breathtaking new beginning for one of the most uniquely talented bands in extreme music.

This is hands down the best death metal album I’ve ever heard. In fact, it’s one of the best damn albums that have ever had the decency to tickle my eardrums. Let me be plain - I strait up dislike 90% of death metal. I am a stoner doom and black metal guy through and through, but what Slugdge have managed to achieve with combining their own uniquely original progressive elements to death stylings is nothing short of exquisite. This is a recommended blind-buy. It’s perfect Reverend Fuzzcut
