Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 . Ulthar create something uniquely arcane within the Bay Area metal underground. The trio comes together on their debut full length Cosmovore to unleash a feral urgency for dizzying Absu like Black Metal with a Death Metal band's bludgeoning violence. Thematically heavy on weird, supernatural horror and a bizarre Rudimentary Peni surrealism, Ulthar are a difficult to classify spectral entity within the sphere of black metal. Over the course of Cosmovore's 40 minute run time speeds careen forward at primarily unrelenting velocity, the opening title track instantly battering with primal persistence. The album's middle section, a blinding storm of ghastly black dread, leads into the 13+ minute epic 'Dunwich Whore' where the Ulthar universe becomes all consuming with proggy synth bookends, vertiginous tempo variation, grinding technical violence, and thrashed madness. Yet another stellar debut album released under the 20 Buck Spin banner, Ulthar's Cosmovore stands as the monstrous opening salvo of a band only beginning to wage war.

A dusty plain, a red sky, sand in your teeth- 'I don't feel so great'-a post-apocalyptic hooptie jeep-jammer. 'Why is everything in ruins? There must be others like us out here somewhere...' This fine sizzling grease pit of cyber punk comes to us from psychic veteran Rick Pelletier (of Six Finger Satellite, Landed, La Machine), always bringing an interesting, bent and lurid account of visions to wax for the hungry ear bone. This time around the equipment scavenged is guitar, drums, synth and vocals. The beat goes full lotus climbing out of the goo, like men with sap gloves slapping the hulls of the remaining clubs, keeping the peace during live actions, gorgeous nauseating synthesized harmonies blowing through the ceiling vents, frickle-fried guitar belly slish and vocals delivered over the P.A. at Barter Town (sometimes from the workers in the pit, in unison). InchPicture a bucket of molten metal with gobs of scalp sizzling and sinking away-dance music for the infected. Be sure to double up on your dose before driving around on this one so you can wipe the chum smear off your wind screen.Inch -John Dwyer Album Tracks 1. Hope Will Pass 2. Baby Chiffon 3. Sully 4.
