Described to Decibel by vocalist Mark Smith as an “ode to a poem unearthed years ago,” this wild, serpentine, soul-stirring track from rising Portland, Oregon death metallers Vulnere is appropriately a throwback in the best, nastiest way, calling to mind early Incantation, Suffocation, and — particularly in its fantastically chunky breakdowns — classic Sepultura. It’s got about four million riffs and all of ’em kill.
If the exclusive stream of “And They Fall” below doesn’t whet your appetite for the upcoming full-length debut (out October 13)…you’re already dead!
