For nearly 25 years, New Zealand’s ULCERATE have forged their own path within the death metal world. Their unconventional, unorthodox and dizzying approach to their music makes them a unique proposition and as such, they are often regarded as one of the genre’s brightest stars. 2020’s State Into Death And Be Still was heralded as one of the best extreme metal records of the year, and four years later, the band have emerged from the shadows once more, with the aptly anti-theistic Cutting The Throat Of God.
Building upon the foreboding sense of dread and sheer sonic dissonance that has been fundamental to their sound over their career, Cutting The Throat Of God pulls you into the howling abyss and refuses to let you surface for air over its near hour long runtime. Album opener To Flow Through Ashen Hearts is herculean in its delivery, as swirling ambience allows the mournful solitary riffs to build tension until it is at breaking point and from there, the band unleash chaos. A cacophony of quite frankly batshit instrumentation showcases the unorthodox approach to the ULCERATE soundscape as riffs crash and break around thundering percussion and Paul Kelland‘s deep rumbling growls. It’s a triumphant opening.
