listening now. Hot damn. No wonder he wanted to release it as Lurker of Chalice. It's definitely more LOC in a lot of passages, but what's more important is the vitriol, dissonance, and talent is SOOOOO still there.

this may be the last we hear in a while, though, alas.

sure hope not, but some of the saga is detailed thus:

oh yeah.
thru Moribund March 25 (details, details).

Is it up anywhere? I'd like to hear a sample

there's allegedly a leak in the comments under the link above, but I'm at work and can't check it out....at least for another couple hours.

i see it. thanks

yep. that's where I snarfed it

leviathan kills. i'll download that as soon as I get home.

Tremendous album. The slower / interlude-y parts are so fucking awesome. This may be my favorite thing Wrest has done.

worth buying, despite the apparent Moribund strong-arming tactics. Whatev, they're a business.

pre-ordered mine last night.

Leviathan gives me hope for american black metal. Amazing artist!

Its great to hear some creativity instead of the same old bullshit that 90% of american bands seem to churn out.

YEEEEEEAHHHHH!! Can't wait to hear this. Thanks Larissa!!!

i'm not entirely familiar with Leviathan's work. i have 10th Sub-Level of Suicide, which i really like, but i don't have anything else. how is Lurker of Chalice different?

LOC is slower, more droney/dirgey, tuned lower. also more sampling.

mike you're into leviathan? if i knew that i wouldve burnt you a copy of Verrator and brought it over the other night. its a pretty sick collection of bsides and demo stuff, a little hard to track down too. let me know if you want it!

Verrater is awesome

excellent. that's what i like.

LOC is better.

Leviathan is...meh.

he's not doing the clenched choking cobra voice anymore, but the lower gurgling Gira/LOC vokills

I wonder how many albums he contracted with Moribund, they seem to be ripshit at each other.

I sorta wanna get this on vinyl too, even though I don't own a turntable.

*bleh*

just got mine in the mail, the inside art is gross and awesome.
