Perilaxe Occlusion announce 2nd demo 'Raytraces of Death'

Erupting from the underground, Debemur Morti Productions announce the coming Perilaxe Occlusion's second demo 'Raytraces of Death' on June 25th. Gifting us with three new compositions, the Canadian death metal band delivers a perfect blend of old-school Finnish and contemporary low-slung organic death metal from the Americas.

Brutal, atmospheric, skewed, complex and eminently headbangable, 'Raytraces of Death' is top-drawer twisted death metal which sets out a frighteningly bright future for a young band that arrived fully formed. Those qualities can be heard in all three compositions:

01. Fracturing the Voronoi
02. Incalculable Thresholds
03. Geometric Dismemberment

Mastermind XT comments:

"The songs were crafted immediately after our first demo 'Exponential Decay' was recorded. We are all super pleased with how everything turned out. I actually think it is heavier than our first demo. The newer elements are skank beats for the first time, as heard in the song 'Geometric Dismemberment', cello layers performed by XE on the song 'Incalculable Thresholds', and even a semi-melodic black metal-inspired outro to the whole demo. Production-wise, it's even heavier - more distorted bass, more chainsaw on the guitars, bigger cymbals, and louder vocals."

The band have released the first song, 'Incalculable Thresholds'.

'Incalculable Thresholds' twistingly shows a novelty, namely the use of a cello:

"The most obvious new territory is the cello. I wanted that to be heard right away so people understand what we meant by adding a classical instrument in a strictly death metal context. It is the shortest, and possibly the catchiest song on the demo. It showcases the best of what is to come and how we expand from what we showed with 'Exponential Decay'", states XT.

Perilaxe Occlusion are:

XT - guitar, bass
XE - drums, cello
Ti - vocals

'Raytraces of Death' will be released as digipak CD in Europe and can be pre-ordered via DMP's EU and Bandcamp shops. Also exclusive t-shirt designs are available for both women and men.
