SHADOWMASS - Wastelands LP

SHADOWMASS - Wastelands LPGreek heavy thrash outfit Shadowmass return with their new album Wastelands. "Wastelands" is the point where Shadowmass fully step into their own sound. The album is built on classic heavy metal foundations pushed into a much harsher, more extreme territory. You can hear where the band comes from, but the focus is on strong, direct songs and a cold, cohesive atmosphere from start to finish. Lyrically, the album turns to entropy in a very literal way:

Finland’s DET are a speed / death metal band formed in 2022

Bored by the familiar tropes of Satanism and evil that permeated black metal

tracks such as “The Dark Aura” and “Fortunes Engraved in Blood” showcase the band’s ability to evolve

finally available once again in a gatefold double LP

The production on the album is stellar

authentic choir

the production is incredible – heavy

For lyrics

The lineup was completed in early 2023 with the addition of drum legend Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal

over 25 years later

the duo’s self-titled fourth album is a meditation on transition: the slow dying of autumn

I can’t help but praise Sgah’gahsowáh for his progression over his first 3 albums
