Doomed death metal band Mortiferum fully embraces an obscure sonic vision that today leads to the oppressive soundscapes of the sophomore album “Preserved In Torment”.
The asphyxiating atmosphere of “Eternal Procession” is constantly amplified by the cavernous growls and evokes a timeless doom essence as the dismal guitar sound leads to a wicked combo of captivating melodic undertones and crushing riffs.
Following a straightforward death metal approach “Exhumed From Mortal Spheres” acquires a malevolent speed fueled by the vicious drumming and the corrosive riffage that will give way to an elaborate guitar solo.
Through the murky atmosphere of “Caudex Of Flesh” guitars carefully craft a solid series of funereal progressions conveying a sense of impending doom favored by the painfully slower tempo yet the hostile rhythmic section can still build a malignant assault in classic death metal fashion.
On “Mephitis Of Disease” the sharp riffage and the aptly tormented growls march fiercely through a pitchblack dimension and the rhythmic ensemble can seamlessly shift from dramatic doom laden passages to insanely faster grooves.
Within the world of endless darkness depicted on “Preserved In Torment” Mortiferum diligently focus on extremely heavy riffage and lugubrious rhythmic dynamics proudly channeling the ominous force of extreme metal.
