Today, New York death metallers Festergore stream the entirety of their highly anticipated debut album, Constellation of Endless Blight, at the Death Metal Promotion YouTube channel. Set for international release November 29th via Personal Records on CD format – Iron Fortress Records will be handling the cassette tape version – hear Festergore‘s Constellation of Endless Blight in its entirety exclusively HERE.
Festergore is a death metal act formed in 2021, coming from the slums of Staten Island, New York. While maintaining their own unique “Deadass Death Metal” sound, Festergore‘s influences stem from such legendary bands as Autopsy, Demolition Hammer, and Morbid Angel. In suspense, after a trio of short-length releases, Festergore have returned to the Kozmos with a full-length, Constellation of Endless Blight.
As forecast by its classic-style cover art, Festergore‘s debut album positively screams – authentically – the early ’90s. Indeed, every element of Constellation of Endless Blight – not just artwork, but also production, execution, and especially songwriting – combine into a masterclass of American death metal that variously nods to the aforementioned Morbid Angel but also contemporaneous Immolation, Malevolent Creation, Suffocation, Monstrosity, and Deicide. Sharp and surging, Festergore‘s nine songs here walk a taut line between labyrinthine and linear, with a dark ‘n’ doom-soaked atmosphere adding a pallor of gloom to their tendrilous death metal. What’s more, the feeling of filth coats every crevasse of the album, even with the production being so era-authentic polished. From slipstreaming speed to brutal beatdown, Festergore cover every classic base, inducing blight and decay every step of the way. The Kozmos will be crushed by this Constellation of Endless Blight!
