No Clean Singing premieres chaotic ‘Church of Loss’ by Finnish death metal band SEPULCHRAL CURSE

Sepulchral Curse bring a signature brand of death metal into their music, and if you have been matching your music to fit the mood of things around, ‘Church of Loss’ that premiered on No Clean Singing definitely underscores impending destruction, doom and despair like few other tracks in recent times. You can check the premiere AT THIS LINK. Excerpt-

“…begins in utterly dismal, diseased, and doomed fashion, and `then takes the core of that bleak opening riff and mutates it into increasingly desperate and demented sensations.

Sepulchral Curse are Finland’s best kept secret. They’ve retained the classic Finnish death metal traits of bands such as DemilichAdramelechConvulseDemigod and expanded upon it in a way that’s never been done before. The songs are meticulously composed, making them intricate and even unpredictable, but despite the vagaries there is an underlying groove that keeps everything together. Black metal influences seep through to add flavour to the proceedings as the songs keep undulating and showcasing different facets each time. The music ebbs and flows and the pace is always varying, as the vocalist barks and roars in tandem, depending on the mood. The album settles into murkier, doomier territories towards the end, not too dissimilar to Finnish label mates Lurk and Altar of Betelgeuze, but keeping its freshly forged sound intact through it all. This is an engrossing, fascinating album from Sepulchral Curse, one that gets better with each listen. It definitely counts as one of the best Finnish death metal albums ever produced.
