With opener &#8220;Candiru&#8221; you immediately hear the sound Ashhyx is known for and why I like them. This is one of the faster songs, with the\u00a0typical\u00a0Asphyx sounding chainsaw riffs and the immense and intense growls and grunts of Martin van Drunen. I think that he will be in the top 5 of mighty grunting voices for a lot.<\/p>\n<p>The second song is much slower and has quite some melodic guitarlines for a band like Asphyx. With &#8220;Wardroid&#8221; a lingering groovy song follows. &#8220;The Feeder&#8221; is more uptempo and is one of my favorite tracks. As always a lot of songs handle about war, but also sciencefiction is a subject (&#8220;Wardroid&#8221;) and &#8220;It Came From the Skies&#8221; has a meteoric stone fallen from the sky as subject. &#8220;The Grand Denial&#8221; is\u00a0a more serious song about the Japanese capturing and prostituting\u00a0Korean and Philippine woman in the war. The\u00a0slow\u00a0doomy music perfectly sticks to the subject.\u00a0With the title track the tempo speeds up again and\u00a0I&#8217;m sure this will be a track the audience will ask\u00a0for.\u00a0Mid tempo\u00a0&#8220;Forerunners of the Apocalypse&#8221; is one of my other favorite ones, due to the mighty\u00a0crunchy dirty riff that carries the track.<\/p>\n<p>Just when I thought there would\u00a0be no more surprises the subtle piano part near the end of &#8220;Subterra Incognita&#8221; proves me wrong.\u00a0After another heavy mid tempo song with a fast middle part,\u00a0 &#8220;Death:The Only Immortal&#8221; ends rather slow.\u00a0Funeral doom fans certainly have to check this one out. In general the album\u00a0has more\u00a0variety in tempo than predecessor &#8216;Deathhammer&#8217; and due to the clear but heavy production it all sounds great.\u00a0This ninth album\u00a0is typical Asphyx,\u00a0but that is how the fans like it.<\/p>\n<p>note: The album&#8217;s limited edition version will be released as a 2-Disc Mediabook including two bonus cover versions &#8220;Servants Of the Warsmen&#8221; (Winter) and &#8220;Master&#8221; (Master).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ASPHYX - Forerunners Of The Apocalypse (OFFICIAL VIDEO)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BFaiGiWcyY8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Tracklist:<\/h4>\n<p>01.
