This is the third album from Spanish death metal band Pestilength.
I’ve really been looking forward to hearing Solar Clorex, and its 36-minute experience has not disappointed. Self-styled as corrosive death metal, this appellation fits Pestilength’s music perfectly.
Amidst blackened density do Pestilength exist, and their latest album is like a force of nature that’s been captured, restrained, warped and twisted, and then bent to the inhuman will of its new masters. This is malignant death metal played with malevolent intensity and violent intent. The vocals spew acidic venom, while the slithering riffs corrupt all around them to the core. The drums underpin with merciless punishment, and a shroud of darkness coats everything with a layer of otherworldly horror.
Solar Clorex is raw and unfriendly. It’s a collection of foul sonic entities determined to undermine all that’s good and pure. Coalescing out of the deathly underground, Solar Clorex is harsh and abrasive. This is not the sort of death metal that will find mass appeal. Instead, Pestilength’s aural terror lurks in the darkness, like an ambush predator, awaiting just the right sort of prey to fall into its abyssal jaws.
Solar Clorex is an oppressive monster of grim ugliness. Its atmospheric brutality is matched only by its murderous delivery, scouring the listener with caustic daemonic sounds and feelings. If you are up for the challenge of approaching this avalanche of threat and menace, then this album offers an experience that has much to entice and absorb.
