Coming towards the end of the set, Cans had a fun crowd interaction when asking the crowd “what do you say, if I say ‘let the hammer…’” to which there were a couple shouts of “fall” but not nearly as many as you’d hope. Cans replied with “the confusion is total” getting a chuckle out of the crowd and then reminding the audience “my friends, the band on stage that you’re c…

Atavistia is all for ambitious composition, and we get that from start to finish, though some songs seem to be a hair long in the tooth. That’s a minor quibble, as there isn’t anything overly listless, but also could be impactful by being a tad tighter. Atavistia could divide many fans of the varying proclivities of death metal with their flamboyant symphonic leanings and…

Comparisons with Ulthar’s brilliant double release earlier this year (shameless plug of our Anthronomicon and Helionomicon reviews) are also difficult to avoid, especially since both are 20 Buck Spin artists.

Acoustic guitars briefly set up “Ancient Light,” transitioning to a harmonium piece layered with a guitar-heavy blackened ambiance. Harmonized chants and screams are a large part of this song, too, which sometimes is laid on a little thick. The synth heavy start to “Inferno” moves into an early 90s Norwegian black metal sound with a rawness that works reasonably well,…
