As a precursor to their forthcoming second album, German black metal tyrants ASCENSION unleash the Deathless Light EP. Ever aptly titled, this two-song strike beams brilliantly with an illumination that can only come from the most fathomless, pure-obsidian depths of the spirit. ASCENSION's debut album, 2010's Consolamentum, became a classic in the underground not long after its release; it evinced a wealth of maturity in composition and execution for such a new band. Here, the quintet extend that maturity even further, unfurling orthodox black metal that brims with creativity and passion, fervor and professionalism, utter darkness and radiant glory, every note and nuance exactly where it should be and nothing wasted nor sacrificed. The title track will feature on ASCENSION's upcoming new album for W.T.C., while "Garden of Stone" is exclusive to this release. Deathless Light shines on...

Prepare for total auditory decomposition. Rotten is a five track slab of pure old school death metal carved straight from the festering crypt of the early ‘90s. This EP drags the genre’s rotten roots through the grave dirt and pumps new blood into classic brutality with chainsaw riffing, vomit caked vocals, and drums that sound like a corpse being beaten with its own bones.
This is underground supremacy with zero compromise, groove, gore, and grime collide in songs that honor the dead while stomping through the living. Thematically soaked in decay, misanthropy, and the madness of rot, Rotten is the sound of death metal stripped to its maggot ridden core.
