In
their endless quest to push and support current underground acts that deliver
the goods unaware of trends and hypes, on January 23rd, 2023, Memento Mori is proud to
present Conjureth's highly anticipated
second album, The Parasitic Chambers.
Although they formed in 2018, Conjureth went
on a tear starting in 2020, unleashing two demos, Foul
Formations and The Levitation Manifest,
which all culminated in their debut album for Memento
Mori. Ominously titled Majestic Dissolve,
Conjureth's first full-length
achieved its goal - continuing the traditions forged by the originators of
death metal - and then some. That they achieved that goal so swiftly and
effortlessly was perhaps unsurprising - after all, this lineup of Conjureth do have or have
done time in such bands as Encoffination, VoidCeremony and Ghoulgotha, among
many others - but the power-trio slayed their way through late '80s-inspired
filth like a well-oiled/slimed machine.
Now, Conjureth return with an
album that arguably eclipses that all-too-considerable predecessor: The Parasitic Chambers. Keenly
understanding that death metal DOESN'T need to change - or rather, the wheel
doesn't need reinvention - Conjureth turn
that wheel with even more power and poise than before whilst keeping their core
sound intact. Like that predecessor, The Parasitic Chambers
locates that all-too-short time when death metal wasn't primarily full of
blastbeats, caveman riffs, ultra-low-tuned guitars, and super-guttural vocals,
slotting into that bygone age of 1986-to-1989-style death metal with a heaping
portion of thrash metal riffing and a dash of the technical side of things that
would be unearthed a few years later. If anything, Conjureth make their
deathrashing musings even more manic and muscular
here: while more ripping than ever, the riffing takes tons of wild & weird
detours, often literally blowing the mind, as the rhythms take the "by the
books" approach and bend the cover backwards; meanwhile, the trio's
multi-tentacled attack retains a full-bodied sense of heft that's sharpened to
an enviable degree by the clear-yet-crushing production. Or, simply imagine
late '80s Tampa receiving strange & unsettling transmissions from a Finland
a few years ahead. If Majestic Dissolve
celebrated the past giving birth to the future, then The Parasitic Chambers is the sound
of that future beginning to beautifully rot.

the most time-WARPING bands around!
