Thulcandra’s latest helping of blackened death metal is certainly something that us fans of both genres can both love and respect in every way.
“Ascension Lost” has the vocals that both genres have become very associated with, the guitars are melodic and yet still have that raw brutality that puts the “death” in death metal, and drums that just absolutely tear up your ears for almost the entirely of the album. I say “almost” because there’s a calm instrumental in there (which I love).
While I will say that “Ascension Lost” isn’t the greatest black/death metal album I’ve heard in my life, I can say with utmost confidence that this is something that I know a lot of people will be able to enjoy this album as much as I have and give it the life and share it’s awesomeness as I am now.
“Ascension Lost” is available for purchase on iTunes here and for streaming via Spotify here.

Just a metal head who loves just about all metal. I want to spread the word about the REALLY great bands out there, well known and underground. I do this for fun and don’t want any sort of money from doing reviews. It’s its own reward. I also do daily reviews for my own review site, Head-Banger Reviews, where the reviews are longer and daily as mentioned. No bullshit, just here to have some fun, listen to cool music and meet cool people.
