Less than two years following the release of their critically lauded EP “Mechalith”, industrialized death-metal unit Djinn-Ghül are now ready to unleash their third full-length album “Opulence”. This international duo formed by Grant Nachbur (Nephrectomy) and Junior Patiño (Voraraephilia) have been evolving and perfecting their sound with each consecutive release. Two albums and one EP later they have conjured their most chaotic, yet refined material to date. It surpasses all their previous work in both songwriting and technical execution and promises to leave you feeling unsettled. Chinese artist Guang Yang was again entrusted to craft the album artwork for “Opulence” and has captured the feeling of the release perfectly in his acrylic painting. “Opulence” builds on their previous material while taking things to new levels of extremity, despite the band only having two members. Throughout these nine tracks, Djinn-Ghül flits between full-on death-metal brutality and jaw-dropping futuristic and mechanized sounds with impressive cohesion. Featuring vocal contributions from Jordan James of Disentomb, Phlegeton of Wormed, Sara Crow and Alex Marr, “Opulence” is set to be released on July 14th via Vicious Instinct Records and displays a dynamic slab of industrialized death metal with a crushing power that will debilitate as much as adrenalize you. Pre-orders are now available at this location. Meanwhile, the duo have just revealed a music video for the title track via No Clean Singing, who had this to say about this new track “The drums spit bullets at a blistering rate of speed, but also join with the stringed instruments to inflict pulverizing rail-gun strikes. The riffing comes in vicious swarms and inflicts doses of industrialized jackhammering. Maybe it’s the bass that sounds like some alien mechanoid chewing through concrete. And all of that seems surrounded at times by waves of eerie but poisonous cosmic radiation.” Watch “Opulence” music video here. |
