Pre-Order: Crucivore - Desecration [CD]

In the old harbour city of Lisbon, an undercurrent of darkness and morbidity hides beneath the sun-drenched gardens, beautifully tiled walls, and bustling streets of Portugal's proud capital. When the last revellers are gone in the early hours of morning just before dawn, something ancient rises from below. It is this gnawing feeling that scratches at the edge of awareness of a sinister presence that haunts the tracks on CRUCIVORE's debut album "Desecration". Although these veterans of the Portuguese death metal scene are firmly building the foundations of their sound on the brutal and powerful principles of their genre, they take the style decisively into the present with their emphasis on cinematic elements and a fine sense of the dramatic and the epic. Take a couple of die-hard death metal musicians from Portugal's capital, Lisbon, boasting massive talent and many years of experience under their belts. Combine that maturity with a burning desire and a clear vision to create uncompromising death metal songs that are infused with elements of brutal death and slam, and you get: CRUCIVORE. With "Desecration", CRUCIVORE deliver an outstanding debut full-length album and a musical vision that is bound to respectfully and diligently broaden the horizon of death metal. Tracklist: 01.
