On November 1, 2015, Finnish doom-death metal band Desecresy released Stoic Death, its recent offering of mid-paced atmospheric death metal with structure melodic rhythm lead guitar guiding the development of each song.
This album, the fourth from this perceptive and morbid band, promises to develop its elegant and immersive death metal which creates a dark sensation and develops it with both emotion and crushing nihilistic emptiness. Stoic Death will be a perfect midwinter album.

That album cover is interesting
The album booklet is full of more on the same theme and the lyrics follow the art quite closely. I think it’s a great album. There’s something about it that keeps drawing me back to it ever since I first listened to it.
I`m still digesting the last album, their music is a lot to chew on. Great stuff though im glad to see this band`s concepts flourishing.
HAIL FINLAND!
The most Bolt Thrower album of the year.
After 3 spins, I am still in the “I hope it holds up” camp…but someone earlier was correct, I get drawn back to that eerie guitar tone and the sideways melodies. I think I am close to unlocking the majesty of this release (if it truly exists). It seems like they go for a fairly easy/generic groove thing at times, yet they always turn it around into something really interesting and substantial.
I have to track down older material, maybe get a sense of their evolution, but I am far from displeased with these guys. So cheers to that!
