This seems like a good time to leap right into a linguistic preview of the song “Acausal Escisión” that you’re about to hear, and then come back to you with further details about where the music comes from.
You would be best advised to gulp lots of air before listening, because violent madness and dreadful misery reign in the song with punishing power. The madness comes first. Without prelude, Cenotafio explode in a stunning assault of light-speed blasting, viciously roiling and insanely shrieking guitars, monstrously malignant roars, and fanatical howls. It is an absolutely unchained, electrifying, and harrowing experience.
But misery comes next. The drums slow, and the music massively groans and despairingly wails in agony. As it does in the song’s opening cataclysm, the lead guitar still feverishly flickers in shrill, piercing tones, but now seems like a searing scream of pain in the midst of musical manifestations of towering oppression and wrenching hopelessness.
The song’s intensity explodes again, generating a maelstrom of furious percussion and layered guitars that writhe, swarm, and soar. Back and forth the tempo goes; the music rises to towering heights of daunting immensity and sprawling symphonic scale, and it convulses in spasms of hellish intensity, in which the vocals spawn images of demonic possession, a malicious convocation of maddened growls, lycanthropic cries, and throat-splitting shrieks.
In all respects the sheer scale of the music is breathtaking, whether in its cataclysmic convulsions or in its phases of desolate, towering immensity. Or, to borrow from Dante’s inscription above the gates of Hell, abandon hope, all ye who enter here.
Well, you can’t say you weren’t warned. Fill your lungs and press Play:
“Acausal Escisión” comes from a new third album by these hell-spawned Chilean zealots titled La Escisión Acausal: Por La Vía Inversa Hacia La Descarnación (English: “The Acausal Cleavage, through the inverted way to the fleshing out”). It includes six tracks and 43 minutes of ravaging black/death, and it’s set for release on April 1st (on CD and vinyl LP formats) by the Spanish label Demoniac Productions.
As you may know, Cenotafio is the duo of Daniel Hermosilla and Patricio Kusnir, both of whom are also members of Invehertex (among other groups). Hermosilla is also known for his logos and artwork under the name Nox Fragor Art.
