Tuscan, Arizona, U.S.A. based death, doom metal warriors EXSUL, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands anticipated debut release "EXSUL", unleashed 1/7/2021 via CALIGARI RECORDS.
FROM CALIGARI RECORDS:
CALIGARI RECORDS is proud to present EXSUL's striking debut EP, simply self-titled, on CD format.
EXSUL was conjured by Charon (strings & curses) in the years
preceding 2018. Phlegyas (sticks & spells) was then summoned to
administer rhythmic battery and to write the sermons. They have since
refined their ritual and documented it. The resulting recordings were
sent to C. Davidson at Fix My Face Records for divination and mastering.
Since its original self-release on November 13th, 2020, Exsul has
instilled fear, shame, and disgust in thousands across the planet with
remarkable efficacy. This pleases EXSUL. And not for nothing did the
original edition of this debut EP sell out: comprising equally
gangrenous riffing and vocals, slithering 'n' slimy blasts that morph
into chest-cavity-crushing doom stomps, songwriting that's strange and
almost improvisational yet fully locked-in, not to mention utterly
megaton-weight production, Exsul brazenly bears all the traits of
mini-classic. Death metal may be the genre, but its execution and
certainly its atmosphere evince a darkness that's different - and
deranged. Suitably, this recording thematically explores the Expulsion
from the Garden of Eden, The Justinian Plague, Cantos 31-34 of Dante's Inferno, and the psychology of those who deny nature and suffer for it.
Submission or rapture or even revulsion, it matters not to EXSUL; so
long as some response is provoked - and it's very impossible NOT to be,
when faced with the EP's 23 stultifying minutes - then EXSUL is pleased.
CALIGARI RECORDS is likewise pleased to spread these sermons in a wider
CD edition, to provoke & punish the converted and unbelievers
alike.
EXILE. DISEASE. INFERNO. SOPHISTRY.
