LINKS BELOW! FlightOfIcarus shills for the incredible 3rd album from Spain-based blackened, atmospheric, technical death metal band Altarage via Season Of Mist. FFO: Portal, Abyssal, and Malthusian. Flight shares clips, praises the band’s incredible rise in infamy over just 3 years, gets ill over their slimy, slithering guitar tone and obvious comparisons to Portal, and drools over their masterfully balanced and dynamic songwriting. The Approaching Roar is out January 25th, again via Season of Mist. Buy it here: https://altarage.bandcamp.com/ Also discussed: Endolith, Of Grace and Hatred, and Vessel Of Iniquity.
