Review
Gaelic columns and ancient druidic storms frame Coscradh's sophomore record, a blinding tempest of blackened death metal. Landing on 20 Buck Spin, the Dublin quartet conjures a "malign force which once again escapes the feral limitations of bestial death metal" by marrying technical precision with unrestrained ferocity. From the tense buildup of the album's intro, the group's focus never wavers from absolute devastation, matching savage, thrashed-at guitar riffs with a turbulent, chaotic atmosphere.
Critics find the record's terrifying energy largely derives from its vocal performances, whose contrasting rasps and croaks feel genuinely "unhinged". One reviewer commends this delivery of "wild abandon", while another characterizes the project as driving "for deification in archaic viscera". Rather than choking on sheer speed, the album thrives on its malleable drumming and well-balanced mix, transforming historical myth into a modern onslaught.
