Wythersake - Antiquity (2021)

Like some dark, ancient and wholly evil being, Wythersake come rising up to cast a blackened stare across the world. A ritual to celebrate the arrival, Prediluvian is steeped in darkness which leads to the unending savagery and destruction caused by the title track. An eruption of blackened death metal, the bursts of feral riffs, slamming percussion and scathing vocals is eye-watering in its intensity. However, it’s also layered with cold melodies to help keep it feeling more tangible and easier to swallow.
The world is in ruins, not much lives and there’s little left to do but pray for some salvation. Epic salvation that comes in the form of the lavish finale of My Profane Goddess. Get down on your knees and pray for salvation. Pray to the gods for release. Pray that Wythersake become a name on everyone’s lips following the release of this excellent debut album.
