The Necrotrophic Abyss

by Snorlax

Brian This album blends elements of Gorguts (The Repudiation of Disharmony) and Mayhem (The Necrotrophic Abyss), and throws in a little dissonant chaos ala Portal (Regenesis Arrival) just to keep you guessing. An absolute winner of an album for fans of Blackened Death.
Dissonant Void

Dissonant Void Superb songwriting that combines blackened death with some skronk. There’s some nice somber dissonant melodies that add breathing room and atmosphere between the blackened chaos. The sinister skronky riffs bring to mind Portal or perhaps a blackened Pyrrhon at times. I’ve been enjoying this album a lot since the early premiere. One of my favorite blackened death metal albums of the year. FFO Altars, Portal, and Mithridatum.

Recording engineer Brendan Auld stumbled upon the sound and found the voice of Snorlax while trialling new recording techniques. Following the stream of ideas and sounds that ensued, the result was what later became the unmastered release of "The Splintering Demo". Having only played drums for a few short years at that point, Brendan’s expectations were low, yet the release grabbed the attention of many black metal enthusiasts including Caligari Records, Jef Whitehead of Leviathan and even made #2 on a 2017 Decibel Magazine list of “Must Listen Underground Demos” compiled by the late Trevor Strnard of The Black Dahlia Murder.

Honing in on the Snorlax sound even further in 2020 with the release of _II_ via Brilliant Emporer Records, more death metal-inspired elements began creeping into the foreground and soon the label “blackened death” was attached to project.

Jumping forward to 2023, Snorlax is set to release its third composition, mysteriously titled _The Necrotrophic Abyss_. Much like _II_, this full-length release clocks in at just under 30 minutes, delivering a concise, ruthless display of sonic violence and despair. This album is presented as a concept, with an overarching story that flows throughout, each song a chapter depicting a world so vile its own death is forced by the hands of nature. In the second half of the record Brendan introduces some new voices and layers of collaboration as the planet is laid to waste for eons resulting in a desolate baron abyss only creatures of the undead have a chance of surviving. The album closes with a slight glimpse of hope as the story eludes to an unlikely rebirth of evolution and a potentially inhabitable future after all. This dark narrative is painted only by the lyrics, the music never loosening its grip, staying trve to the perpetual paralysis proclaimed on track 1 of the band's first release.
