lust4metal very good death-doom metal Favorite track: Degradation Temple.

Phil Rawsthorne the ebb and flow like waves in a tidepool filling your ears like small invertebrates feeding on the groans and howls

Lorenzo A crushing meeting of death / doom metal with menacing black metal. Layered with weaving riffs, a pounding rhythm section, and vocals that impressively hit a sweet spot between all the genres, this album presents a dense experience crawling with horrors.

venom-og deep killl at the throat here

eric F Beautiful recording, superb pressing and artwork. This is an incredible album of texture, slow orchestral riffs, and tight technical bursts. More layered and dense than the EP. Favorite track: Baptismal Rot and Ash.

about

The end of 2020 brings a new beginning for blackened death-doom collective Heretical Sect. Founded in the American Southwest in 2018 the group released their debut EP in early 2019 and now join with Gilead Media for their powerful debut full-length, Rapturous Flesh Consumed.

Heretical Sect exists as an entity to communicate the unique perspective of the American Southwest. But not in sound or sonic style, instead by focusing on the historical, personal, and cosmological narratives of the region and coupling those perspectives with death-doom and ferocious black metal. Haunting lead melodies guide the listener to a path of tortured guitar work and pummeling rhythm as each passage builds into an atmosphere of total anguish, underscored by vocals torn from other dimensions and channeling generations of suffering.

Although the American Southwest is typically represented through the nostalgic and romantic lens of cowboy culture it is home to numerous atrocities. Religious persecution, disease, slavery, and other violent acts are burned into the memory of the landscape. Expansive Skies, deep canyons, and painted red rock have witnessed untold butchery and grief. This project a funerary monolith to the countless, unknown dead who resisted and died, crushed beneath the hooves of conquest, victims to genocide and massacres. This serves as a foundation for the sound of Heretical Sect, juxtaposed against the beauty of the high desert.

“We meet the madness of collapse; adorned in the cloak of chaos, confusion, and death—the mantle of our collective past.”
The specific concept behind Rapturous Flesh Consumed is centered around the perspective of Salvador de Guerra, a religious zealot and Catholic Padre infamous for mutilation and torture. The album explores Guerra’s insanity and postulates some fictional reasoning behind his actions, seeing him obsess over the relationships between Christianity and native traditional beliefs. Attempting to marry the two through his own blasphemous rituals.

Heretical Sect contains members of well-known Santa Fe bands but all members remain anonymous and hooded during live performances and photos so that the listener’s focus can be put upon the lyrical themes and songwriting.

An excellent blend of black metal and death metal sounds. The whole thing is just a delightfully creepy listen! The dual vocal attack is great. There is a lot of tremolo in the guitar riffs, alternating between low and crushing tones and blistering high tones. Excellent album, beginning to end! klflick1980
