DECREPIT BIRTH - Axis Mundi CD DIGIPAK [SEALED]

CD, Agonia Records, Digipak, 2017

US Death Metal

'Awakening from a seven-year slumber, the Californian's fourth album is entwined with musical athleticism and characteristic esoteric themes. "Axis Mundi" is as crushing as it is cosmic.

"We’ve gone through an evolution throughout the years" says founding member and primary songwriter Matt Sotelo. "The last couple of albums we had, Diminishing Between Worlds and Polarity, were more progressive death metal. They were different from …And Time Begins, which is a different genre of death metal. It’s more brutal. I’m the type of guy who likes to experiment. …And Time Begins has no solos. It’s all really fast palm-muted riffs. The other albums breathed more with the guitars. I let chords ring out on Diminishing Between Worlds and Polarity. Axis Mundi is combination of all the stuff I’m into. I like it a lot right now. It’s more melodic. The riffs repeat intentionally. I want to have fun with these songs".

With remarkable songs, an exceptional production, and high concept lyrics, DECREPIT BIRTH re-shapes death metal on "Axis Mundi". They’re blasting the doors of convention wide open, paving the way for future generations to explore beyond death metal’s four proverbial corners' - agoniarecords.bandcamp.com
