2023 press on transparent magenta vinyl

Danse Macabre was the debut album from Denmark’s most promising death metal outfit Baest. The band’s name translates to beast or brute, which is an appropriate moniker, considering how vicious the tunes on Danse Macabre are. If you’re a fan of Swedish death metal in the vein of Grave, Bloodbath, or Entombed (mostly the first couple of records), you’ll find a lot to like in Baest. The fact that this is a brand new band is mind-blowing, when you think about how long it takes so many bands to put out an album of this quality. Some go their entire careers without crafting a record this solid. I highly recommend picking up a copy of Danse Macabre, you can hear for yourself what I’m foaming at the mouth over. This is true old school Danish death metal dynamite.
