Cosmic Petrefaction are a solo project from Italy that plays a cosmic form of blackened death metal and this is a review of his 2019 album "At The Threshold Of The Greatest Chasm" which was released on cassette by Caligari Records.
Distorted sounding spoken word parts start off the album before adding in some clean playing before going into a heavier direction. The riffs also bring in a great amount of melody while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard.
Vocals bring in a mixture of cavernous death metal growls and black metal screams along with the music also getting very technical sounding at times. Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the music also adds in a great amount of 90's influences but also keeps it very modern at the same time.
As the album progresses a small amount of chaotic guitar leads can also be heard while synths are also used briefly and gives the music more of a sci-fi atmosphere as well as one of the tracks being an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness and cosmic themes.
In my opinion Cosmic Petrefaction are a very great sounding cosmic blackened death metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this cassette. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Acrimonious Darkness" "The Ancient Demagogue" and "The Dismal Black Nothingness". 8 out of 10.
