ECTOVOID – Debut Dark Abstraction To Receive Vinyl Release
February 26, 2016, 8 years ago
Blood Harvest Records has announced a special vinyl pressing of Ectovoid's debut album, Dark Abstraction, set for international release on March 28th. Originally released last year on CD by Hellthrasher Productions, Dark Abstraction introduced a sound both strangely fresh yet impossibly ancient. With a moniker that gives more than a few clues into their sound, Ectovoid recombine a whole host of eldritch influences - namely, very early Immolation and Incantation as well as Scandinavian death metal from the early '90s, both from Sweden but especially Finland - into an endlessly rolling 'n' roiling vortex that somehow manages to be "catchy" whilst evading more traditional verse/chorus structures.
Perhaps this sonic magick is down the band being a trio, so locked in to these busy, bestial bursts and feeding off each other's close proximity - or perhaps it's more down to Ectovoid understanding the inherent power of death metal and being reverential enough to not simply regurgitate someone else's (usually better) ideas.
