Conduit

by Proscription

supported by

Dmitry Nevozhay Mighty and dark blackened death metal. Favorite track: Thy Black Nimbus Gate.

Aaron Really impressive blackened death album. Makes me think of a Behemoth that leans into its BM influence more frequently.

Ippocalyptica I have absolutely no idea how I missed Conduit in 2020 as I am usually all over Dark Descent’s releases, but thankfully, I witnessed Proscription play this album live in Gdańsk earlier this week, and now I know the infernal truth: this must be one of the best blackened death metal debut albums ever made. The relentless energy, the legitimately ominous atmosphere, the slashing riffs, thunderous bass, and pummelling drums, and goddamned powerful vocals - you must experience Conduit! Favorite track: Thy Black Nimbus Gate.

about

Although a brand new entity to some, PROSCRIPTION’s origins can be traced all the way to the late 90’s, back when Terry ‘Christbutcher’ Clark was still living in his native Colorado, learning to raise hell with EXCOMMUNION. A decade later, after relocating to Finland, MAVETH became his new vehicle and over the course of two demos, one album and one split CD redefined how ‘dark’ death metal ought to be and sound. And while the band’s sudden demise in 2017 took everybody by surprise, instead of resting on his laurels, Christbutcher immediately vowed to follow the same path albeit under a new flag of hate, PROSCRIPTION.

Spearheading a new, broader and even darker sound, PROSCRIPTION aren’t MAVETH part 2, even more so since Christbutcher is here assisted by a whole new line-up,including Cruciatus from renowned DARK DESCENT alumni LANTERN who contributed to the music of ‘Thy Black Nimbus Gate’ for instance. The result is as majestic as it is menacing sounding. Simply put, this is the kind of death metal that can swallow worlds and exterminate all light.

Only preceded by one digital only demo back in 2018, their first album Conduit, recorded between March and June 2019, showcases a new side to Christbutcher’s musical prowess while retaining that suffocating yet catchy trademark touch. Almost symphonic in parts (as hinted by the poignant intro ‘Four Wings Within the Samiel’) and with a new found sense of morbid melody emphasizing even more their taste for the epic, with a track like ‘Thy Black Nimbus Gate’ almost suggesting the grand opening of the red sea itself, Conduit is not only an extension of Christbutcher’s unique vision, it expands it even more to an almost apocalyptic level. This is just the beginning...

BrutalDeath technique et mélodique, à deux voix, fondues dans l'ensemble, où rivalisent deux guitares très présentes et efficaces. Ce groupe n'entre pas dans mon Top10, mais ça n'empêche en rien la qualité de l'œuvre présente... et ce n'est que mon humble avis ! XD EklektikTrip

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
