Slow. Heavy. Dissonant. These are the three words that come to mind when listening to Australia’s Tenebrific.
The three song EP, ‘Labyrinth of Anguish’, is their first, and is steeped in Incantation’s ‘Onward to Golgotha’ with hints of Grave’s ‘Into the Grave’. The album intro and opening track are painfully slow and full of anguish as the album title would suggest, while the second song opens up with some fast double bass and features the EPs only blast beats while still maintaining that oppressive, down trodden feeling. Album closer, ‘The Final Offering’ adds a refreshing layer of atmospheric Black Metal to their OSDM sound.
Fans of Disma and Incantation should definitely keep an eye on Sydney’s Tenebrific.
