With Patricidal Lust, San Francisco's Vastum
eschew the done-to-death (if you'll pardon the pun) tropes that so many
modern death metal bands are content to endlessly recycle, in favour of
delivering a far more horrifying, disquieting record than any other
band has dared to release. The subject matter on offer here will perturb
even the most hardened fan of a genre that often seems stale and
exhausted.
Featuring members of Bay Area heretics Acephalix, as well as the prolific, seemingly ubiquitous Leila Abdul-Rauf of Amber Asylum and Hammers Of Misfortune,
Vastum have come to pollute your consciousness with six sickening tales
of sexual abuse, abominable deviance, and mental anguish. A far more
perverse proposition than its predecessor Carnal Law, it's sure to be the most uncomfortable listening experience you'll have this year.
Patricidal Lust is available now on CD and LP via 20 Buck Spin. Head over to their site and pick one up! You can also stream the album and read an excellent interview with the band at Invisible Oranges.
