Dead Congregation "Promulgation Of The Fall" CD

The Greeks from Dead Congregation started slowly, even doomically, to record the successor to "Graves Of The Archangels". With the current influx of (often shitty) music, there is no point in criticizing the band for such a break - it's better to release albums with longer breaks, and well-thought-out, than in a hurry and bland. Okay, a lot of waiting time is also associated with exaggerated refinement or a loss of authenticity, but I will indicate that there is absolutely no such things in the case of Dead Congregation. "Promulgation Of The Fall" is one of those examples where the passage of time has not abandoned the passion for creating meaningful music. On the contrary, "Promulgation..." can - in a sense - be described as a new quality for the group.
And this is revealed by...an even stronger descent to the underground sounds! It means that the band decided to put much more emphasis on ugliness and primordiality. It should be noted that the Greeks did not do this in the classical sense. Well, the earlier gloomy climate and brutality are still clearly present here. Well x2, I dare to even say that "Promulgation..." beats "Graves..." in terms of brutality blasting (and the speeds achieved by V.V. can be really captivating - first better examples: "Nigredo" and "From A Wretched Womb"), and this is an extremely interesting result from the perspective of the aforementioned, more dinginess.
On "Promulgation..." music was created that can captivate with its heaviness (e.g. in the title track, "Schizma" or "Serpentskin"), brutality ("Only Ashes Remain", "Immaculate Poison" or the above-mentioned "Nigredo" and "From A Wretched Womb"), and sometimes it happens that...both of these elements within one track. Another great advantage of the disc - production. In the case of vocals, guitars and bass, it's charmingly even more underground than "Graves...", but the most devastating - the percussion side. with a clear, very high sound of the snare drum (which works great with those faster fragments). Weaknesses, as in the case of "Graves...", on "Promulgation..." obviously missing, so the matter seems clear, all of the songs deserve a recommendation. Well, maybe I would reverse the order between "Only Ashes Remain" and the title track, because the latter, however, would definitely suit me better for the intro. Except that it's already word-splitting.
Anyway, "Promulgation Of The Fall" coped with the level of its debut, and the Greeks managed to compose another batch of intriguing, extreme music. Such about their own idea for the underground climate.
