CLERIC - Serpent Psalms (12" LP on Chaos Colored Vinyl)
United States | Death
Detailed Description
Musically, they blend thrash and death metal into a nasty, bloodlusting ceremony, but their lyrical content (and penchant for excellent choruses) mutates their obscene rituals into B-movie horror flicks, replete with over-the-top imagery and utterly deranged narration. This isn't exactly introducing any levity into the proceedings, which combine lightning-quick blasts and incredibly technical riffing, but the album rampages on with an obvious demented glee that's admirably easy to sink into. - Invisible Oranges
