Adversarial - Death, endless nothing and the black knife of nihilism (2015)

Adversarial is one of those "occult" death metal bands (along with Mithochondrion, Portal, Antediluvian, etc.), they are from Canada (Toronto more precisely) and their second and nex album, released by Dark descent records, is called Death, endless nothing and the black knife of nihilism. What I like with this album is that we get the evil and chaotic feel that is the trademark of this "occult death metal" scene but we also get the old school riffing (with a chaotic and evil twist but not buried under a muddy and too much dissonant sound). Maybe we could say their are closer to a more chaotic Immolation than to Portal. Nothing groundbreaking but a well done and enjoyable death metal album.

Antediluvian / Adversarial split

Antediluian released in 2011 one of the best death metal record of the year (called "Through the cervix of Hawwah"), so I'm very pleased to see that they are releasing something new. And even more pleased (but not surprised) that this released is also really good. 

the split is three song for each band.

Adversarial, also coming from Canada plays in a similar vein and is also really good, cool discovery for me. It's old school raw and dirty death metal with a kind of dark occult atmosphere (it's brutal but I'd say the focus is more on creating a strange morbid atmosphere). 

Antediluvian music goes in a similar direction but is maybe more complex, weird and dissonant. If you liked their previous record you won't be disapointed.
