"Seven Chalices" from Spain's TEITANBLOOD is evil incarnate. It is old school death metal that drowns the listener in the muck of AUTOPSY and frightens to the point of paralysis with its long sections of bone-chilling atmospherics and terrifying effects — not mere interludes either, but epic exercises in horror. And damn, do they ever drench their death with filth, doom, and decadence. The concoction is one of the more unique takes on brutal, old-school death that I've heard in a while. It is just plain depraved.
