Today, Me Saco Un Ojo Records and Pulverised Records announce
March 10th as the international release date for Astriferous' highly anticipated
debut album, Pulsations From the Black Orb. Me Saco Un Ojo will handle
the vinyl version while Pulverised will
handle the CD version.
Two demos, one split, one MLP: these are the releases Astriferous have already
left an impression with. But now, this Costa Rican death metal juggernaut is
back with their full-length studio debut, Pulsations
From the Black Orb.
Decay, despair, and bubbling rot come to the surface with the abhorrent opening
piece. Setting a gargantuan monolith to crumble before us, the intensity is
high even before we truly begin. Roaring vocals and meaty riffs stain the air
as pummeling drums bludgeon the skull to smithereens. The raw and ineffably
dark production is one that will immediately leave non-diehards running with
their tails between their legs. But those who can hack the savage attack of the
senses will hear some truly phenomenal, atmospheric, and yet unforgiving death
metal that spews rot and hacks limbs while some cleverly placed riffs give a
very uncomfortable ambience to the whole thing. The gripping and unique
approach is delivered at high-tempos to ensure maximum damage while some
gloomier passages give a rich, textured, and hauntingly ghastly dynamic to the
record. Blending the cacophonous Finnish death metal titans of old with some
South American deathrashing violence, Astriferous conjure
an atmosphere and sound entirely of their own while reading from the ancient
tomes of morbidity.
Firing on all cylinders, this record is an amalgamation of the band's best
works. The doomy parts are more spectral than ever, the bestial aggression is
unrivalled in savagery, and the progression as putrescent as one could dream
of. Those who have followed the Astriferous journey
can revel in the splendor that they have reached here with their best
achievement to date. New maniacs can be won over by their first experience
being a truly remarkable milestone in death metal from a far-off corner of the
world, proudly planting the Costa Rican flag in the underground’s conscious
with a truly marvelous, menacing, and engrossing cut of excellence. Much like
the chasmic, void-like vortex of grotesqueries on the cover art, this album
will pull you into a pool of macabre oddities and never let you go… [text by
