With ‘Descended Immortality – Promo 2024’ the Portland, Oregon based Death Metal band Excarnated Entity is giving us a 2-track sneak peak into what they have in store for us in the not-so-distant future. As both tracks on this promo tape, which was first released independently and also got a European edition through the revered Nuclear Winter Records label, will find their way to the band’s sophomore album – in one way or another.
Excarnated Entity’s 2023-released ‘Mass Grave Horizon’ was a more than solid debut album that combined the brutality of the Death Metal genre with the dragging heaviness of Doom/Death Metal. And it is exactly that blend that we are being served with here as well, even in a slightly more balanced fashion. Especially ‘Heir To Pain’ is a splendid example of craftily executed Doom/Death Metal that excels in deep dynamics and woeful, almost Funeral Doom-like, melodies.
Anyone who has heard the band’s previous work will definitely be pleased that band just kept straight its course, even further perfecting their sound. Even when this is nothing original, it is the way it is expertly forged; it is convincing in all its simplicity, trusting on its eerie melodies and haunting depths.
This way it keeps itself far removed from the kind of bands that are placed under the same overarching umbrella of “Doom/Death Metal”, which simply is not a matter of playing slow. These kind of bands are a rare breed and should be cherished as such. Fans of bands like Morbid Stench and the likes definitely should take notice – if they haven’t already.
