Clive Thanet Wow I’m glad I came across this one. I could always use some more Sci-fi inspired death metal. The riffs are wacky and catchy. The interludes make this entire album such a great experience. Definitely worth checking out. I think it’ll blow your mind like the dude on the cover. Favorite track: The Visitor.

(intro) 00:47
2.
Remotely view the glare of the glowing sickle Despoiling souls of flesh across the galaxy Transporting here Where no distinction exists between soul and flesh Only spirit; no skin Noxious gas from nowhere Repulsive nothing No peace; no time Vile and knowing Corporeal suffering Ethereal bleeding Essence; dermis Phantasmal dawning Only spirit; no skin Melting back to quintessence
3.
The Visitor 03:49
Felled tower of meaning of modern living Chopped, hauled, and sent to you in a box of shit Eat dust and thank heaven for modern living Call hell and say you’re ready to improve your life Skinbag quietly dripping hard-won goo Chem-burned, dry rot Save the meat but scorch the rind Locked within the shining, spinning cube With one eye on the outside Torch the soul for all your meat’s sake A visitor from another world Came to me in a dream It spoke with its eyes and fucked with its gut
4.
Body war Replicate sore Silently ride Feel then perish Final foe A viral thing Oozing in Planetary Dripping off everything Mouth agape Destroy me, final god
5.
Tensile nerves pestered Unfleshed before everyone Real even when dreaming Meat becoming a “me” Far below the final crystalline structure of misery It sees you there with eyes that glow, “Fuck you to death.” Rot beyond all recognition Unwounded flesh is the exception A voice from the distant future calls upon you to listen
6.
Pervasive and hostile With secret beginnings Outside the scope of earthly mind The rain is not what it seems Fully awake in a dream The pustule ruptures from within Teeming with the units of unknown origin A distant voice calls from another time on a better world
 Its message is shit and out of reach Nevermind the poison sound
7.
Mask on tight: prepare to die The dripping world and the melting eye With the face aflame, nothing is safe Eat the shit buried in the maze for days Nothing is safe or sacred in jail Stinging skin: boil within the pulsing planet Radiating horrible rays from hell Bathe in the cancerous rays for days Nothing is safe or sacred in hell Chased for days No one is spared the torment within Pestered penis: now ground to shit Psychic bloodshed with a bad transfusion All thoughts are fatal when you’re dead Eat the shit buried in the maze for days Nothing is safe or sacred in hell
8.
Nest of incorporeal empathic mind-snakes Reared up in spectral predation Time and space are alive Time is a road - drive Space is a pool - dive A strike from a hidden entity fills all guts with mind
9.
(interlude) 02:14
10.
The return of spiritual suffering looms overhead in front of me I wait All the bright beams from the stars have ripped my flesh apart All is blistered All is blight The cloud is knowing The blue illusion The pressing sky is full of them Press forth, though blistered and withered Wormholes to the other side Slide through, leaving all flesh

about

“Reared Up in Spectral Predation” is the debut offering from Universally Estranged, a cybernetic death metal entity transmitting from the molten swamp of Houston, Texas. Completed largely during the time of COVID-19, the project stands as an aural totem to our weak, fleshy forms stumbling through a reality that feels endlessly hostile. Across its svelte ten tracks, the album manifests largely as chunky, bone-rattling death metal, replete with blasts, intricate riffing that never delves into mindless technicality, and subhuman vocalizations of terrible things unknown. The gleaming jewels embedded in the brow of this shoggothian monstrosity, however, are its more ethereal, contemplative moments; latticing synth movements that stand in startling contrast to the bestial cacophony otherwise on display. No mere filler interludes, these passages instead act as cornerstones to the project’s dynamism, dreaming respites from the waking hellscapes the songs spend most of their runtimes evoking. At once learned in the ways of old and unafraid to wade through the waters of experimentation, “Reared Up in Spectral Predation” finds Universally Estranged bringing a singular eldritch sound to the burgeoning annals of cosmic death metal.
