THAUMATURGY szykują album dla Memento Mori

 

In their endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage death metal, Memento Mori are extremely thrilled to announce a new signing: Thaumaturgy, from the United States.

Thaumaturgy was spawned in the American Midwest by an enigmatic musician that goes under the alias KT, driven by the urge to play a vicious blend of dark, doom-laden, chasmic, and cavernous death metal, taking influence from a wide range of outsider music. Thaumaturgy attempt to push the boundaries beyond the genre's forerunners in order to invoke contemplation upon the super-mundane realms that their name implies. Previously an outright death-doom metal act with a darkened edge, the band has morphed into an entity whose musical offering is crammed with furious, ripping riffs, contrasted by crushing, echoing doom passages, as well as a surprising element of dark melody, evoking comparisons to the more diabolical early bands from Sweden, such as Necrophobic and Grotesque, although combining that approach with the tenebrosity and the murkiness of Incantation and Krypts, the violent and chaotic assault of Morbid Angel, the aggressiveness of Dutch bands like Sinister and Pestilence, the modern approach of acts like Grave Miasma and Cruciamentum, and even the sheer lightlessness of bands such as Demoncy and Adversarial.

Active since 2021, in which year the band released its debut EP, titled Charnel Gnosis, Thaumaturgy have thus far released one album in addition to the aforementioned EP, ominously titled Tenebrous Oblations. Now a power-trio after the addition of TG and DS to their ranks, we can only expect a further descent into despair when following the future development of this band.

Memento Mori will unleash the CD version of their second full-length in 2025. Further details to follow in the coming months.
