This is the debut album of DHWESHA, including rolling Death Metal originating directly from the unfathomed Origins of mystical cultures combined with an obeisance to the dark gods of the original scene. Brute, yet melodic riffs, furnished with vocals sounding as if they came from the depths of infinite catacombs. The indian Death Metal band DHWESHA present their first album, including eight occult and dark formulas in the essence of a rotten Death Metal ritual ! The darkest vocals ever heard break through the massive riffs and speak of ancient rites and deepest denial of human ignorance. Fans of ARCHGOAT, DEAD CONGREGATION & old BOLT THROWER will be pleased.
