Desolate Gods

by Father Befouled

supported by

Dan Hébert Lean and mean. I detected a touch of Immolation influence. Favorite track: Ungodly Rest.

fyeahmetal Yes, this is a lot like Incantation, but I also hear some Morbid Angel in there. The levels of both atmosphere and aggression are high. The band sounds hungry and focused. I love this record! Favorite track: Mortal Awakening.

about

After a 5-year wait, veteran Dark Descent alumni Father Befouled return with “Desolate Gods,” their 4th full length offering of twisted and cacophonous death metal chaos. Picking up where 2012’s “Revulsion Of Seraphic Grace” left off, “Desolate Gods” picks up the torch, infusing their influences into a suffocating and mysterious album of serpentine riffing and lurching, cavernous doom. Compounding that is a maturity - a sound evolved from the heavy-handed Incantation worship of before - to a distinct sound all their own.

In their 10 year existence Father Befouled has developed into a tried-and-true death metal machine, and “Desolate Gods” is the direct result of that practice: a visceral and violent expulsion of rotting death metal blasphemy. As much as the music of “Desolate Gods” is rooted in the influence of bands like Morbid Angel, Incantation, and Monstrosity, the lyrical direction pays homage to the ancient gods of death and chaos. The darkness that governs the universe and the pain that death creates.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Researched Icelandic bands before being able to visit the country in 2019 and found primarily Misþyrming!!!! They reignited and intensified an existing ( and somewhat on the back burner at the time ) love of heavy music. Even listened on the flight there! I have gotten into a lot of great bands because of them. hellaganj2000
