Finnish old school death metal band Desecresy released their third album, Chasmic Transcendence, via Xtreem Records (ex-Drowned) on April 21, 2014. Following more of a mid-paced approach in deference to the doom-death of past, the album offers 14 tracks of shorter length than previous albums.
Descresy, which consists of Nurmi T.G. on vocals and Tommi Gronqvist on guitars/bass/drums, might be compared to a fusion of old Finnish death metal like Abhorrence and doom-death like Incantation or Asphyx. The band released a promotional track, “Voracious Mass,” which demonstrates the changes in style.
Tracklist:
- The Ethereal Bane
- Shattered Monuments
- The Denied Legacy
- The Eye of Death
- Cyclonic Mass Consumptor
- Sons of the Burning God II
- Celestial Intoxication
- Climber of the Sky
- Hibernant Orbs
- Travellers of Forbidden Planes
- Voracious Mass
- Waters of Neptune
- Infinite Halls
- Autumn of Souls

The material that I heard from this band previously was intriguing, so I will check this out. And call me a sucker, but song titles as vivid as those set the bar pretty high.

Listened to the first half or so…got fairly bored. The composition is a bit choppy; this seems more like a collection of ideas (some of which are good) than fully-constructed pieces.
Haven’t made it that far. Reminds me of Disma and War Master so far.
The promo track feels less inspired than the previous album. A minor complaint, but the vocals are WAY too high in the mix. Could be the levels on the device used…..
It sounds a little ‘rushed’ but I wouldn’t say bad. Let’s just hope that’s not all on the surface like it is with most new stock old school metal.
