Duly armed, the quartet take their songwriting to strange, skronking lengths, rendering their angularity both an unsettling and utterly attacking thing. Likewise, the slight cleaning-up of production has paid dividends, allowing these malformed ruminations to fully seep into the listener’s psyche – mangling the mind, wracking the body – whilst emerging with just enough linear propulsion to land the record on the right side of art rather than riff salad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollectively, these changes have made ASTRIFEROUS even more world-eating than before, further cementing their homeland’s death metal scene as one of the most potent around. \u003ci\u003eAtavistic Unraveling \u003c\/i\u003eawaits those who dare…\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Me Saco Un Ojo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49194882859316,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/2619\/9348\/files\/astriferousatavistic.jpg?v=1784443100","url":"https:\/\/totalwarrecords.net\/products\/astriferous-atavistic-unraveling-lp","provider":"Total War Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
