Decay/Omega
Skulks Descent Into The Descent Of The Self Subtext
Sometimes it seems like you can hear the meat glue of doom metal to the ends of the earth with your own ears. New York based death metal trio Decay/Omega don’t share your sympathy. Gaze upon the depth and breadth of their horrid experience and they sound absolutely fine. But there is nothing earth-shaking about the way their sound scrapes the surface of the abyssal abyss. Their music is utterly soul-rushing, its cosmic expansiveness and ethereal depth never abetted by any melodic or rhythmic tether. Instead, each of the three tracks is sluicing through the heart of the thing, even as it threatens to rip you a new one.
