Sepulcros are playing expansive death/doom metal with a mysterious, chilling atmosphere and has slow, pensive moments alternated with deep, earth-churning rumbling parts. The contrast is beautiful and the music never breaks free from the emotive bonds binding it, giving it life. Mighty Decibel Magazine premiered one such track AT THIS LINK. Excerpt from the premiere –

Emerging from the underground, Sepulcros spew forth a powerful, majestic form of death/doom metal that is awe-inspiring and captivating. The music wafts effortlessly through the air, like a shape-shifting, amorphous, strangely luminous creature, bearing characteristics of death, doom and even black metal, and leaving behind a trail of destruction in its wake. Everything about it is hypnotic, this dark subterranean creature having emerged from depths unfathomed, exuding raw power as well as iridescent radiance in the way it carries about wreaking destruction. Nothing seems forced or out of place, as the music assumes its natural form and alternates between pummelling blasts and sonic ambience depending on the circumstances. Shrouded in absolute mystery, Sepulcros deliver a masterpiece with Vazio, an album that will stay with you long after it’s over, haunting you perpetually.
