Holy shit, what the fuck did I just hear? This might be the most disgustingly evil, muddy sounding black metal band on the face of the earth. Hailing from a distant galaxy known as Canada, Antediluvian is what you get when Portal and Mitochondrion have a diabolical threeway with Blasphemy (another classic Canadian band that is BANNED FROM THE U.S.) and abort the resulting fetus in a cemetery that has been flooded with toxic waste. This is great stuff, play any/all tracks, all FCC safe as far as human ears can discern.

1. (2:50) starts with 15secs of chanting and spooky atmospheres before going totally nuts, shit gets so intense there is a piercing “aaaaugh” accompanying the guitar solo
2. (3:32) evil guttural vocals, blastbeats, incessant whammy-bar guitar solos, an ominous semi-spoken incantation at the end adds to the eeriness, segues into…
3. (3:19)* borderline grindcore it’s so fucking fast, insane drum patterns make creative use of ride cymbal, fucking hell this is great
4. (4:42) intense fast death-metal tremolo riffs that will give you whiplash, steady pounding onslaught
5. (3:08) some more creepy basement sounds for a few seconds before total fucking destruction, cool interplay of spoken/gurgled vocals
6. (3:37)*** if the vocals and drums didn’t give you shivers down your spine before, this one ought to do the trick
7. (2:54) fast blastbeat destruction for the most part, but a brief section of eerie guitar harmonies slows things down, builds momentum
8. (4:13) 20secs of dark ambient, then some fucking nasty evil shit, a slow doomy bridge changes things up before a totally ripping conclusion
9. (6:12) slow, sludgy closing track, crawls along until suddenly jerking back into warp speed halfway through, finishes with some crazy guitar effects and more evil spoken word
