After triumphantly casting off the shackles of claustrophobic dissonance on 2020's lauded "Stare Into Death and Be Still", New Zealand unorthodox Death Metal legends ULCERATE up the ante even further with mind-bending 7th album "Cutting the Throat of God".
An acknowledgement that the band's most powerful and affecting material leans to the melodic side, this refined and hook-laden new record is a self-sufficient universe unto itself, a conflagration of inventively visceral Death/Black Metal where dizzying experimentation meets head-nodding abandon - obscenely twisted and addictive, heart-stopping in its depth of feeling.
After a quarter-century of playing music together, Hoggard/Saint Merat are cemented as one of the strongest guitar-percussion combinations in Extreme Metal, and their music has evolved organically into something completely its own. The most well-produced ULCERATE record to date, "Cutting the Throat of God" is filled with peerless rhythms, the band's smoothest transitions, most compelling phrasing, and truly staggering riffage. The exhilarating, liquescent flow is topped off by a destructively dynamic performance from vocalist/lyricist Paul Kelland.
"Cutting the Throat of God" explores a cohesive lyrical theme centered around the rupture of morality, the delicate boundary between depravity and extremity, and the irreversible descent into darkness.
Lyrics:
Stare above at projections from a vast sky
In awe as it decays before these eyes
Concealed memories are foreboding
To see within and envenom
This yawning chasm was created
In antipathy
In iniquity
To flow through ashen hearts
In antipathy
Through and across all time
Face the real
Inward toward darkness
To be enveloped
Blind and aimless
Rusted to abject skin, torn from the bone
Cannot unravel these shackles which strangle eternity
When the real becomes overbearing
Confront the self and its iniquity in every atom
Blind and aimless
Aimless, at its mercy
These wicked and tortured dreams
Intertwined with the real
Until becoming the real
Absent in this illusion
Absent from this reality
Falling into the terror of this reflection
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
Right??
the penis
Did you post this from the pride parade?
Same here
Might have been a rough few years, but at least we’re all alive to witness Ulcerate
The last album was my covid album 👌
@@anomniscientcat3483same bro. I still listen regularly. During lock down I must’ve listened at least 100 times in full. Inversion and drawn into the next void were my favs
@@OlMoldy Visceral Ends was my favorite. That album really helped.
Very true
Amen.
I live in this timeline where Ulcerate does exist.
Best way to see things
The only flaw every Ucerate Song suffers is.... it ends.
Great work, cant wait for the entire album.
Its crazy to think that this is where death metal has landed. I don't think Chuck ever thought this was what the genre could lead to.
These guys, Nile, and Dying Fetus are leading the way as the kings, to me.
@@visionofdisorder just as my favorite extreme metal bands
Nile had ulcerate on tour with them back in ‘09
@@visionofdisorderthey're death metal bands
@@visionofdisorder yes, death metal
Sounds like the guitars are having a conversation. One guitar speaks and the other one replies
Very unique. Super cool sounding.
That's wild
Call and response? Ulcerate is blues!
Reminiscent of chamber music, where it is a conversation between the various instruments.
Magma utilized call and response as a nod to militarism/religious hymn arrangement.
Love how Ulcerate is experimenting even more with dynamics. I don't know how, but they always manage to invoke this pathos and foreboding, without which an Ulcerate track is incomplete.
They not experimenting anymore, they just found the sound and stick with that.
@@asdneffy If not experimenting, they're definitely continuing to build upon that established sound and tinker with new ways to implement it. Which is basically the definition of experimentation, so..........
Guaranteed this is what your favourite metal musician secretly listens to
Keith Merrow Commented on the other track that they dropped.
Secretly?
Or Deathspell Omega
Ulcerate is a band that is in a whole other realm of musicality, and their music is far from anything else I have heard before. Each song is like a portal to an unknown world. I am blown away from their creativity and style. How they developed their sound and figured out how to get everything to melt together like this is beyond me, but I am honored to listen to these amazing hymns.
It genuinely amazes me that each Ulcerate album sounds like a group of musicians who have finally reached a sonic pinnacle, finally having perfected their sound and style after what might as well have been years of artistic toiling. And yet, Ulcerate is almost completely reinvented with each release. True genius.
It's like when a musician finally reaches their "10,000 hours" and then everything they make is incredible.
Absolutely, they're a total anomaly. Every album in sequence improves on the last.
A band that gets better every album? It's almost unheard of...but here we are with Ulcerate.
This album is looking like it's gonna be my album of the year. These two singles have left me mindblown and speechless
Same!
I get to be alive when this band pumps out some of the most beautiful death metal anyone's ever heard and I'm thankful for that
The quality of this music is the highest possible!
I've never clicked like button so fast
ULCERATE DO. NOT. MISS. another banger, can't wait for the album!!!
When my pre-order comes in , I'm locking myself in my room and listening to it until I wake up with it still playing .
It's gotta be difficult to find a visual style that fits this type of music, so kudos to whoever's been crafting these music videos. They accompany the music perfectly.
The drummer Jamie does the cover art of the albums. Can't remember if he does these as well. He's a front end web developer as well so shouldn't be beyond him
@@DudelyDuWrongthose videos are made by Dehn Sora
@@DebemurMortiProductions666 Thanks, I looked right past the link somehow.
Dehn Sora also does artwork for deathspell omega in the void left by timo ketola. He's great
Fuckin hell man... These guys just keep raising the bar every time and as soon as you think the bar is capped out, they raise it thru the ceiling. Definitely going to be at the top of a ton of AOTY lists this year
I will have a cool story for my kids, I lived in the same time line that Ulcerate.
This guys arent normal. Fan for the last 5 years and still l9ving thr hell out of them
Its true, they are on another level.
Imagine how I feel haha I've been a fan since they released "Everything is Fire" it's been insane watching their evolution
Such a powerful sound. I can't wait for the album! 🤘
Can't wait any longer. 🔥
Holy fuck! What a surprise! Thank you 🙏!!
The lead up to this release has had me listening to their entire discography. Stare Into Death And Be Still was when I discovered Ulcerate and I was afraid I would never enjoy another album as much as that one ever again. I tried listening to their entire discography after and I just enjoyed their 2020 release so much their older content didn't click with me. Then I saw them live and went back and it gets better with every play through.These two pre-releases have me so excited for the complete album! It is going to be incredible. Best metal band of all time, best drummer alive. Desolation is the arc of life's motion🤘
SIDABS is my least favorite Ulcerate album tbh. Give Shrines another listen. Once you better understand the songs on that album, you'll forever be wishing you could hear it again for the first time. I'm legitimately jealous
@@fenjohrer Shrines is my second favorite followed by Destroyers!
Are you me? 😅 Stare Into Death... was my introduction and is my fave metal album. The albums prior just don't give me the same emotions. I also saw them live supporting Mayhem. These new songs are exactly what I had hoped them to be, can already tell the album is going to be huge.
I had the same experience, but their back catalog has grown on me big time.
@@beedavs in my opinion, Stare Into Death And Be Still is truly a modern masterpiece, it is so cool to hear others share similar experiences with it!
Anyone else feel their soul being torn apart when listening to this?
Hell yeah
Another masterpiece from the best sounding band in metal!
Ulcerate just made a new fan tonight. I like Death Metal, but I just haven't heard Ulcerate a lot until now. Tonight, I will change that. I am thus converted as a fan of this amazing band. 🤘🤘🎸
Jesus Christ, the drums lads. Insane drumming!
We just know this album gonna go crazy when its out
It will make my day! 🔥🔥🔥
I didn't realise how much I loved this band until I heard Hogland's influence in my guitar playing. What a phenomenal act.
He is an unreal guitarist.
@@Funeralcult unmatched.
It is the necessity to stare straight for a while after the ending of piece of art
Pure magic!! Incredible!!! 🥰
If u wanna hear more of jamie’s stuff check out his black metal project ‘Verberis’.. new album just dropped..
First time hearing this band. It won’t be the last time I listen to this band. What a banger of a track
Congrats! And welcome to you, to this fucking towering monolithic band! Enjoy!
Glorious.!! ♥
This album is gonna be something like a mix between Shrines of paralysis and Stare into death and be still and I cannot fucking wait for its release
This is 100% what I was hoping for
Sounds more like stare into death with even more pronounced goth riffs. Based on the last single. The unholy Trinity of albums though to be sure.
Im repeating myself, another masterpiece is coming
Exceptionnal work once again. How can you be so good and so consistent throughout the years ? And still manage to top your previous work ? Which was already a masterpiece ?
Absolutely phenomenal!
Excelente!!! Nunca te decepciona está banda
Goshh, this is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
exactly what I expected
Mesmerizing 🤤
Ulcerate just nailed the sound quality in their mixing (both low and high pitch sounds can be heard perfectly)
Also, these video clips are just pure artistry.
Absolut Masterpiece!!!!
From now on, trying to find words to match Ulcerate´s music is quite hard. And also to Sora´s art which follows it, since the human decomposition theme could have arrived to it´s limit. But not anymore. This fractal of deconstruction gives a whole new level of mise-en-abîme aesthetics!
2:10 Coolest riff ever
They have a similar riff in confronting entropy
You are always in every new video God damn it haha 😁
@@packymancard another masterpiece
@@Kain_R_Heinlein and so you do my friend. Cheers!
@@jesuscontreras124 as am I yes. We just need Isaac to have to tres amigos here but I remember him saying he doesn't want to spoil any of the songs individually to listen to the whole album. I get it haha
They never disappoint, brutal song ...................
Musically and visually - masterpiece !!!
There are so few records I am truly thankful to be alive for. This is one.
Gods of metal, for me, there is none equal.
DsO , Ad Nauseum, and Immolation are on the level
Well this day just got better
Museum level music.
Such an Ulcerate song, beautiful dynamics and remarkable atmosphere! I'm beyond stoked for the new album!! :)
Holy shit.
Just when I thought they couldn’t top the previous single, they release this monstrosity. There is a strong groove element in this track, but still has that depressing aura that is signature Ulcerate.
Long story short….very eager to hear the whole album.
Their music never clicked with me for some reason… I always thought they were incredible musicians though… But I’m really enjoying these new singles 🤘
Same. Only the last album and the new singles have really resonated with me. I think it's because there's actually a hint of "melody" there now where there used to be none.
@@joemarley5982 Stare into Death was much more melodic than everything else they had done before (Shrines also had melodic parts here and there). Death metal is a bit hit or miss for me but I like Ulcerate.
Maybe try other bands with similar style:
Deathspell Omega (Paracletus is the most accessible album IMO)
Artificial Brain 3 albums
Sunless - Ylem,
Ad Nauseam 2 albums,
Gorguts - Colored Sands
That’s strange because in terms of atmosphere their latest material is not that dissimilar to what they have created previously.
@@jeremyfaulkner1048 I know, it is similar… but I can’t put my finger on it… it feels like everything has more room to breathe, specially in the production, the drums are not crazy all the time, they have more groove… everything has more space I don’t know… I felt that something was different with stare into death and be still, but that album was still chaotic and suffocating… but with these singles, I’m feeling super comfortable
I haven't been this excited for an album release in a while now. And this is my first time hearing from this band. Holy shit. Impeccable music video for an impeccable killer tune. Much love
It hurts how good these guys are
This year we hav New Ulcerate, New Akhlys and I'm expecting for a new Deathspell Omega out of Nowhere 🤘🏼🔥
And i hope too new Throane album.
Perfection
Сижу в мурашках.Такие группы редкость...
Bravo!
Loving these New Singles!
Would like to live in that outro
This metal is on the raw side. Rawr.
They don’t miss
Najlepsze momenty to te z szybkim graniem.
Sound is so much better than on the previous album - clear vocals and crispy giutars. Good job, waiting for the whole thing!
YES!
Such an amazing song from an amazing band
This band sometimes soothes my psychosis, sometimes triggers it 😂
Incredible band! Their music is a journey! 🤘🔥🤘
This is insannnnnnee! So pumped for the album!
One Word: perfection ❤
Esta banda todas las canciones son excelentes 👌🤘Felicidades
this track is really good. one of ulcerates best to date. its nice having them explore these more dynamic tempos they do so well there. michaels riffs really shine through when he slows down a bit
THIS IS SOME REAL GOURMET SHIT!
I have no idea how they keep getting better with each record...
It’s amazing that so many gut wrenching emotions can be woven into a song and the result is somehow beautiful
Well put 👌
3:57 love that so much!!
You already know 🖤🖤🖤
Going to need a couple of additional notches on the Awesome meter for this one. A solid 13/10
Unicidade das ondas ressoantes. Dimensão única!
such a great band making music that is so hard to define!
Brutal!
🤯 mind blowing, impressive & surreal !
These guys really can do no wrong...
I love them so much
the last two singles are the best music I listened to this year.
Incredible music
Already album of the year for me
Great song 🤘
What a time to be alive.
Fuck yeah, dude. Another masterpiece of an album is on the way. \m/
Excellent morceau !!
Here we goooooooooo
ES MUCHO AMIGO SOLO DESEO VERLOS EN VIVO ALGUN DIA HERMANOS NO HAY MEJOR QUE ULCERATE EN NINGUN LADO
Geez... beauty and power. Outstanding.
As someone else said, you have ruined metal. Nothing can compare to this level of greatness, composition, passion and musicality. Absolute masterpiece.
🤘
