LISTEN TO THIS FUCKING BAND: MITOCHONDRION





Filthy 'Domination'-era Morbid Angel grooves torn from the grave then mercilessly suffocated with no-fi production and gurgling slime? Yes please. Like every good extreme band ever (or at least Revenge and Blasphemy, which about covers it), Mitochondrion hail from Canada, and, much like every other good extreme metal band that is not Revenge or Blasphemy, have apparently signed to Profound Lore.

This music is about as noncommercial as you can get without turning into pure noise (and without being Merzbow if you've actually managed to create said pure noise). Unexpected moments of downtrodden, moody melody emerge like ghosts from the fog but are quickly dragged back down into the mire. As with new labelmates Vasaeleth, some will undoubtedly mislabel this viscous, roiling sonic mass as 'black metal,' but take heed: this is death metal at its filthiest and most bestial, down to its warm, still-beating heart.


Now go LISTEN TO THIS FUCKING BAND!
