Apparition from Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles-based APPARITION delivers the follow-up to their 2020-released Granular Transformation 7” with their megalithic debut full-length, Feel; an album of towering, progressive, doomy death metal with hammering, colossal, crawling grooves, refined escalating riffs, and lurching, thick, and bludgeoning calculated chord progressions. But Feel goes even further beyond such a crushing abstract as it explores APPARITION’s auditory design where this deep expression of pure death possesses idiosyncratic uncanny musical affectations with engaging ambience and intrigue. One that tethers into the realms of strangeness and the anomalous; an album more influenced by drummer/vocalist Andrew and guitarist Miles’ past jazz studies and unique influences outside the old school death metal paradigm. - Earsplit PR
