Barra Xul : In Darkness We Wait

Just released, seven tracks of melodic horror grind from former members of Cephalectomy. Well, really it is Cephalectomy repackaged.

Cephalectomy: The Dream Cycle Mythos

"...Cephalectomy are masters of their craft and this EP should be able introduce them to an international audience. ...The Dream Cycle Mythos comes with a bone-dusting, pristine production that can easily compete with latest releases of bands such as Behemoth, Vader or Kataklysm... The Dream Cycle Mythos can easily compete with any major label backed release out there today. For all intents and purposes, Cephalectomy do this genre with much more gusto and conviction than the originators themselves."

"Often with a benign curiosity we look to the dreams of men..."

And so begins another session in the insane asylum with Cephalectomy. "The Dream Cycle Mythos" shatters dreams and and brims with an originality that is sorely absent from the majority of the death/grind genre. No stones are left unturned on this musical materpiece -- a single song that stretches beyond the 23-minute mark. Thunderous blast beats transition to extreme melody, off-time riffs, heavy metal crunch and even sprinklings of classic rock. However, metal is the name of the game here with Cephalectomy's fourth official release for Discorporate Music. The lyrics spin a tale of a clearly unstable mind as it experiences new dimensions and the horrifying visions within.
