No fireworks for the 4th July, but a good heavy-rock album seems like the Lovecraftian equivalent.

Getting good reviews from metal-heads, the new metal album Onslaught Of The Ancient Gods (mid June 2019) from an Armenian band.

Track samples available on Bandcamp.

“Combining blackened death metal with elements of melo-death, tech-death, … orchestration and sci-fi synths, [the album] certainly stands apart form much of the extreme metal scene [and] for the most part [the band’s leading light] Erskine pulls everything together expertly. Lovecraft is no rarity in extreme metal lyrics, but where many simply pay lip service to the father of cosmic horror, [the band] Temple of Demigod is a project fully immersed in the Eldritch chaos. Not a flawless album, but to suggest Onslaught Of The Ancient Gods is anything other than a blindingly fun trip into the void would be criminal. Score: 8/10“. — Distorted Sound magazine.

“Onslaught of the Ancient Gods was a surprise hit for me; I was expecting to have some fun with it, but I’ve been addicted to it since its release. It’s exactly the right balance of sinister and cheesy, complex and catchy. It’s a great album if you like tech death but need a reprieve from the noodly side of the genre.” — Toilet ov Hell.
