UK progressive death outfit Ageless Oblivion has unveiled their brand new full-length, Penthos, set for release on March 17th in Europe and on March 18th in North America (digital only) via SOAR/Century Media Records. Produced by Chris Fielding (Napalm Death, Electric Wizard) and mixed by Hertz Studios (Behemoth, Decapitated), Penthos is a devastating blend of Morbid Angel-death metal, Akercocke-style blackened heaviness and Neurosis-inspired soundscapes. The result is a jaw-dropping effort that takes the unique template of the band’s debut record, Temples Of Transcendent Evolution, to the next level, fully cementing Ageless Oblivion’s signature sound. The album’s first single, “Glacial Blood”, can be heard below.

The Skinny: UK progressive death outfit Ageless Oblivion has unveiled their brand new full-length, Penthos, set for release on March 17th in Europe and on March 18th in North America (digital only) via SOAR/Century Media Records. Produced by Chris Fielding (Napalm Death, Electric Wizard) and mixed by Hertz Studios (Behemoth, Decapitated), Penthos is a devastating blend of Morbid Angel-death metal, Akercocke-style blackened heaviness and Neurosis-inspired soundscapes. The result is a jaw-dropping effort that takes the unique template of the band’s debut record, Temples Of Transcendent Evolution, to the next level, fully cementing Ageless Oblivion’s signature sound. The album’s first single, “Glacial Blood”, can be heard below.

Dom Lawson of Metal Hammer described Ageless Oblivion as “The actual future of Metal”. A huge statement, but one that becomes totally justified upon listening to the sheer magnitude and ambition of Penthos. Having already shared stages with extreme metal behemoths such as Decapitated, Aeon, Cerebral Bore, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Dyscarnate, Conan Blood Red Throne, and Latitudes, the band has an affinity for the stage, constantly expanding on their live performance with an objective to merge the atmospheric with the primal belligerence of traditional death metal. An endeavour that promises to bring something fresh to what is to this day still considered a formidable genre of music.
