Three long years after their latest output, the international band flares its cryptic head yet again with an epic tome of twisted and gnarly emanations, an immersive pathway into the void entitled Duality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDefacement's third studio record is challenging and confrontational in its invocation of primal forces lying dormant in the world below. Inspired by the unfathomable, shadowy corners of human existence, Defacement hatches a penetrating sonic journey, unpredictable in its own dynamic, ever-changing form. Intricate and complex riffing lay as a basis for dexterous melodies, making Duality the most complete and mature among the band’s outputs. The cold and experimental interludes entangled between tracks, serve as halting moments that further the conceptuality of Duality and broaden the gist of the main songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tremendous rhythmic section, a complex and throbbing pulse of drumming fierceness and serpentine bass playing, is superiorly captured by the dynamic and organic production, a vigorous sound that evokes both an oppressive aura and wistful solemnity. Gabriele Gramaglia (Cosmic Putrefaction, Vertebra Atlantis) and Simon Da Silva (Aversio Humanitatis) took care respectively of the mixing and mastering, finely crafting the details of Defacement’s new album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A:\u003cbr\u003e01 - Optic \/ 02 - Burden \/ 03 - Vagus \/ 04 - Barrier\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide B:\u003cbr\u003e05 - Facial \/ 06 - Scabulous \/ 07 - Hypoglossal \/ 08 - Duality\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53439697486167,"sku":"P-156444-","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Defacement-Duality-LP-COLOURED-156444-1-1761663510.jpg?v=1778242610"},{"product_id":"defacement-doomed-cd-digipak","title":"Defacement - Doomed - CD DIGIPAK","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne year after the acclaimed Duality, international quartet Defacement is about to let hell loose with their fourth studio record, Doomed, once again to be released through Avantgarde Music death metal division Unorthodox Emanations.
