Saevus Finis are a revelation. They’re stringing together influences in a relatively refreshing manner and their music is much heavier in comparison to most others exploring the dissonant sound. You can preview two of their songs from their intriguing album on Bandcamp AT THIS LINK.
Saevus Finis (Portugal) – Facilis Descensus Averno (Death Metal)
Coiling tightly around like a vindictive colossal snake, asphyxiating and temporarily blinding with its slithering motion, the music of Saevus Finis has a specific result on the listener. Their music is immediately overpowering; rhythmically throbbing with chest-bursting heaviness, the pounding parts are alternated with angular, incisive riffing. Militaristic blasts give way to slower, time-manipulating music, emphasizing nothing but even more heaviness, as dissonant tunes augment the perplexing situation. Saevus Finis have mastered the art of combining the best elements to create dark, hypnotic and suffocating death metal with a menacing blackened edge that keeps drawing in the listener. Always intriguing, the music almost feels ritualistic, methodical and immersive, and impossible to escape. It finds a way to get inside your consciousness and remain with you. Physically compelling with its sheer heaviness and mentally disarming with its beguiling tunes, Saevus Finis have come up with an astounding debut assimilating the best influences where dark, arcane music of this kind goes.
