CMU Approved
Approved: Ulsect
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 22 February 2017
Signed to Season Of Mist at the end of last year, ‘post-death metal’ band Ulsect have announced that they will release their debut album on 12 May. With the news comes the first track from that record, ‘Fall To Depravity’.
Initially sounding like the band are holding themselves steady, readying themselves, the industrial rhythm that opens the track both grounds it and provides a jumping off point to experiment. They then take the song off in various directions, but always come back to that starting point in some form. By the end, it’s echoing into the distance.
“Our track ‘Fall To Depravity’ portrays moral atrophy, the corruption of human essence and the relapse into inhuman ways”, say the band. “The deteriorating rhythmic motif threaded throughout our album’s opening track represents this gradual decay. Segments of delusive tranquillity and the vicious walls of sound revealed here, form a first glance of what our debut has to offer”.
