Spanish death metal band Bizarre are playing music that’s steeped in the obscure old Finnish death metal sound replete with quirky melodies and obscure passages, and they add their own dark death metal sound to the mix and even a bit of the irresistible Lovecraftian atmosphere. The result is thick, eerie and powerful death metal that will haunt you for days. Two of the songs are currently streaming on Bandcamp and YouTube.
Exhumed from the crypts of the forgotten Finnish death metal gods, the music of Bizarre is like an ancient dark force that has been summoned to be unleashed with magnified intensity upon the unsuspecting masses. Shrouded in layers of impenetrable darkness and reeking of otherworldly Lovecraftian horror and mystique, the music has an enchanting effect on the audience. Possessed-sounding vocals instil a sense of fear penetrating deep into the subconscious, as the guitars weave a dual-pronged attack comprising of body-maiming riffs and heart-stabbing melodies that sound like plaintive cries of souls trapped in bottomless limbo, all in all, orchestrating a diabolical onslaught invoking hell on earth. Invocation Codex has been initiated to honour the true spirit of obscure death metal and wreak havoc in manners deemed necessary in such an era.
The album is out on October 29th, and is available in many nice versions (also from Bandcamp) along with some tasty merch!
