Featuring the "Tetragrammacidal Oration" Promo,
"Baneful Abortion of the Cosmic Fetus" Single plus Four unheard/lost transmissions from the reeking bowels of Adi-Ganga's toxic wasteland.
There truly is no introduction needed for these fucking maniacs, but for the uninitiated, Tetragrammacide was founded in the year of our dark lord 2012, and since their first release in 2014, these Kolkata natives have struck with ferocity and deadly accuracy, quickly becoming one of the most aggressive bands in extreme metal. Taking the foundations laid by bands such as Conqueror, Revenge, Black Witchery, Nyogthaeblisz and Nuclearhammer, Tetragrammacide takes it to an even more extreme place with the inclusion of vocal samples, sound clips and noise, sometimes making that the focal point of their work. That being said, if you aren't well versed in this genre and the aforementioned bands, you will find this a difficult listen, this band and subsequently this album, aren't for everyone. This band essentially gate-keep themselves, no quarter and no surrender for the weak willed and virginal eared.
This album while released in 2019 is technically a compilation of the bands first two releases, The Tetragrammacidal Oration demo and the Baneful Abortion Of The Cosmic Fetus single (both released in 2014) the comp also includes four extra tracks recorded in secret between 2014 and 2015. In a way, this is really half compilation and half EP, which is pretty fucking cool, because not only do you get to own the demo and single material, but we are blessed by the black light of the void, as we are pummeled with four unreleased tracks, conjured by these purveyors of black aural filth. The whole album is insane, the first track Menstrual Penetration of Swarming Intolerance starts with a cavernous barrage of drums before we are incinerated by a full on fucking blast furnace of hatred and aggression, from which there is no cessation, no prisoners. By the end of the first track, (if you're still listening at that point) you will know what it is to gaze into the maw of nothingness, and you will find it, dark and suffocating.
The album doesn't stop after that, there are sections where you can feel the build up, and then right when the tension is most palpable it hits the crescendo and all hell breaks loose as these guttural howls encircle the assault lead by the surgical steel percussion and the distorted, frenzied guitar, all while the sounds of static and noise swirl back and forth in this electric ethereal fashion. There is never truly a dull moment in this record, sometimes you find yourself lost in the cacophony, mind devoid of conscious thought, almost as if your mediating to the chaos. And others you'll find yourself drumming your hands on your steering wheel at an alarmingly fast rate, with so much ferocity, the drivers next to you at the red light wonder if they need to call police or paramedics.
Another interesting thing is this album has actually spawned three separate music videos, we have videos for Wrathful Deities of Sinister A.I.-Chara, Chao-Gnostic Meta-Scientists of Saucerian Tantra and Pulsating Sudarshan Gammadion of Aiwasstronic Fishnu. (my personal favourite track on the album) The videos are exactly what you'd expect looking at the song titles, weird mash ups of tech, spirituality and other shit I can't even begin to describe, but I would highly recommend you check them out, you maniac. Honestly, I'd really recommend this "album" to anyone familiar with other bands in the Indian and Sri Lankan scenes such as Jyotiṣavedāṅga, Kapala, Genocide Shrines, Brahmastrika, Konflict and Aparthiva Raktadhara, This also goes for all of us over here in North America, clutching our copies of War Cult Supremacy and Apex Satanist, give this shit a listen, it'll scratch that itch to the bone.
Hack the samsaric hologram system, smash the Tetragrammaton!
