Disma - Towards the Megalith
I’ve been anxiously waiting to hear Disma’s debut full-length since it was announced several months ago. While the official release date is July 19th, I jumped at the opportunity to listen to Towards the Megalith in its entirety on NPR’s website (National Public Radio is exclusively streaming it for the week prior its release). Death Metal sure has come a long way with acceptance outside the underground since its inception, but that’s a separate discussion to be had with a night of heavy drinking. My anticipation wasn’t met with disappointment and this is a “must buy” for any old school Death Metal fan. It really doesn’t get any more old school than Craig Pillard’s monstrous vocals since he growled into infamy on Incantation’s genre-defining classic Onward to Golgotha back in 1992. If that isn’t enough of a selling point then consider guitarist Daryl Kahan and drummer Shawn Eldridge, both from the mighty Funebrarum, are also in the lineup. The logical result is darkened Death/Doom Metal that breaks into ultra heavy mid-tempo riffs (if only there were more of them) accentuated with the perfect hollow sound at the end of each snare drum strike. Aptly titled, Towards the Megalith is the album you’d want to listen to before, during, and the morning after that nocturnal debate coupled with copious rounds of libations.
