CHAPEL OF ABHORRENCE
SEASON OF MIST BELGIAN DEATH METALLERS HAVE AN OLD-SCHOOL BLAST Founded in 2013 to pay tribute to their favourite 80s and early 90s death metal bands, it didn’t take long for these Belgian berserkers to become their own monster, and their 2015 neck-bothering EP Cemetery Of The Insane turned plenty of heads. Debut LP Chapel Of Abhorrence marks another stride forward for the globetrotting road warriors and the opus captures all the raw power of their face-melting live show. Informed by the Swedish and Floridian scenes of old, bulldozer riffs, copious time changes and guttural vocals are the order of the day over the course of 11 cuts. Highlights include the incendiary Hellfire, the thrash and punkinfused Hatred Unleashed and the rampaging title track, which is a massive statement of intent and features a ferocious performance from their frontman
Simon Duson.
