NIGHT HAG & BURIAL – Utterances From Below / VINYL LP

A horrified and unreal union of two nowadays ‘old school’-minded death/doom metal entities smeared across a full-length platter, ‘Utterances From Below‘ showcases the grotesque damage done between each long-fought and now shambling-to-life crews in fairly equal displays of putridity arisen. Set to 33⅓ and lumbering between the intimacy of rotten flesh and voidspeak Virginia Beach, Virginia-based trio Night Hag offer the punched-clean-off jaw of side one and over on the second half we stare into the dead eyed maw-beak of cosmic horrified Tuscan quartet Burial as they blaze all afterburners in an attempt to break free of the ancient one threatening to devour all. A strong pairing at face value and one which delivers substantial, serious material on both sides this’ll be an assured necessity for a fan of either or both groups, much less anyone deep-set in their pursuit of morbid death and doom metal terrors.
