EP Review: Deceitome – Flux of Ruin (Redefining Darkness Records/Raw Skull Recordz)

Formed in 2015, Deceitome are a 5-piece Old School Death Metal band from Tallinn, Estonia. Heavily inspired by the Stockholm scene of the 90s, Deceitome offer their own take on the old-school death metal sound, effortlessly blending the styles of a band like Bolt Thrower with the dark undertones and vocal delivery more akin to Incantation.

In 2016, Deceitome released their debut album called Death is Called Ethos, which got the band some attention and underground acclaim. Redefining Darkness in conspiracy with Raw Skull Recordz are proud to announce Deceitome’s brand new EP, Flux of Ruin, which finds the band sounding stronger and more confident than ever!! Prepare yourselves for Armageddon, unleashed on August 2nd 2019.

There is a defiant touch of the blackened to Deceitome’s brand of old school death metal. Giving it a really strong undercurrent of darkness, something that just enhances the uncompromising destruction of EP.

Flux of Rain as a whole has a real familiar sound to it in that if you’re a regular purveyor of all things sickening and heavy, you’ll find yourself right at home here. The five tracks bubble and burst with terrifying death metal proficiency. The varied tempos producing different levels of ear-bleeding pain and suffering. The riffs are thick like a viscus fluid, the drums break bones and the vocals are the gargling final breaths of someone who has been stabbed repeatably in the chest.

Simply listen to Miasthmatic Breed as an example of how well Decitome do this. It’s bloody great in its old school gory glory.
