Today, Quebecois death metallers Sedimentum stream the entirety of their highly anticipated new mini-album, Derrière les Portes d’une Arcane Transcendante, at the Death Metal Promotion YouTube channel. Set for international release on October 25th – Me Saco Un Ojo Records will handle the 12″ vinyl release while Dark DescentRecords will handle the CD version – hear Sedimentum‘s Derrière les Portes d’une Arcane Transcendante in its entirety exclusively HERE.
Sedimentum formed back in 2018, giving us a magnificent debut album and several equally formidable shorter releases alongside it. Now they return with an even doomier and more eldritch mini-album for your listening displeasures…
Following some otherworldly ambience, those charnel guitars bring in a truly crushing spectacle of doomed extremity. Grotesque vocals and strong drums permeate the thick, tarry stringed arrangements. Their sinister and inhuman music has sunken even further into the pits of putrefying grave matter to conjure spectral apparitions of the dead. Those of you who already know this superb band will definitely recognize their unique sound while appreciating that the more low-register, slower-tempo rumble of this cacophonous rot is even more intense than ever. Never afraid to blast out viscerally gripping savagery, the old-school way, there is plenty of those more traditional moments tied into the abhorrent affair. However you like it, Sedimentum master death metal…
At a mere three songs, one could foolishly assume this record is lacking. But listen for yourself to discover three majestic pieces of masterful musical torment. In little over 20 minutes, Sedimentum grasp your soul with their ghoulish atmospherics and sepulchral hammering force. Exhuming the ancient spirits, this mini-LP is a must-listen for all true diehards of the death metal underground who value both atmosphere and brutality in equal measure. There is no denying this band has a perfect grapple of both, as these new constructions of contorting morbidity prove beyond doubt. Enter the ossuaries of Quebec with one of the finest bands of the underground as its lumbering corpse staggers toward you with only malicious intentions… [text by Jørgen Sven Kirby, Nattskog webzine]
