An acknowledgement that the band’s most powerful and affecting material leans to the melodic side, this refined and hook-laden new record is a self-sufficient universe unto itself, a conflagration of inventively visceral Death/Black Metal where dizzying experimentation meets head-nodding abandon - obscenely twisted and addictive, heart-stopping in its depth of feeling. After a quarter-century of playing music together, Hoggard/Saint Merat are cemented as one of the strongest guitar-percussion combinations in Extreme Metal, and their music has evolved organically into something completely its own. The most well-produced ULCERATE record to date, “Cutting the Throat of God“ is filled with peerless rhythms, the band’s smoothest transitions, most compelling phrasing, and truly staggering riffage. The exhilarating, liquescent flow is topped off by a destructively dynamic performance from vocalist/lyricist Paul Kelland. “Cutting the Throat of God“ explores a cohesive lyrical theme centered around the rupture of morality, the delicate boundary between depravity and extremity, and the irreversible descent into darkness. Lyrics: This grave error seeks solace in vehemence In pointlessness, in lawlessness To see death just once Dead and gone With the passing of the rubicon Drift into this coveted and guiltless prayer Beg to dispossess and vanquish Condemn the sanctuary and obstruct all new beginnings And the reverence of inhumanity avowed Approaching the last entropy Incarcerated in the purest cataclysm Of being, of knowing The deepest hell This discontent is a mirror before me Countlessly broken and unbroken The air becoming thin among the disquiet Resurrection bestowed on the unwilling Embracing the last entropy Reject and betray existence
