Black vinyl with printed innersleeve and booklet

There’s a scene at the end of Sam Raimi’s Drag Me To Hell, where the protagonist is grabbed and pulled underground by the hordes of hell. It’s a terrifying, gripping and dramatic scene that shudders through the viewer’s senses. Likewise, Spain’s Teitanblood specializes in blackened death metal that’s equally terrifying, gripping and dramatic. In fact, they might as well be the soundtrack to being dragged down to hell. The band occupies an interesting space between doomy death metal, blasting black metal and ripping war metal, giving them a unique place in the extreme ecosystem. The Baneful Choir shows that Teitanblood just keeps upping their game, incorporating more complex riffs and even hints of outright melody without ever sacrificing their atmospheric interludes or pummeling brutality.
