AUROCH – Complete Work On “Taman Shud”
Canadian chaotic death metal entity AUROCH have completed work on their sophomore album “Taman Shud”. Alongside their co-conspirators MITOCHONDRION (in which vocalist/guitarist Shawn Haché serves as AUROCH’s bassist while in turn AUROCH vocalist/guitarist Sebastian Montesi helms the pulse of death for MITOCHONDRION respectively), AUROCH create devastating technical yet furious dark sophisticated death metal that summons the classic Canadian death metal spirit (not exceeding the year 1996 of course). In what made Canadian death metal such a unique force in said heyday, and what has been carried on through bands such as MITOCHONDRION, Antediluvian, and Weapon respectively, AUROCH will make their mark on the death metal scene even more severe with “Taman Shud”.
Following their “From Forgotten Worlds” debut, which would display AUROCH’s skillful take on death metal, “Taman Shud” takes it up to the next unrelenting level by presenting itself as a more brutal, devastating, more technically insane, and much darker album. With the band’s lyrics and themes that help bring “Taman Shud” to a higher level of intellect, paired up with the inhuman-like musical execution, “Taman Shud” is a death metal pillar like none other to be unleashed this year.
To be officially released on June 24th, tracklisting to “Taman Shud” goes as follows:
1. Villainous
2. 8vo – Swirling in Capricorn
3. Noxious Plume
4. Taman Shud
5. Voice of Gemini
6. Death Canonized
7. Defixio
8. Novemportis
9. The Balkan Affair
Look for the band to head to Europe this Sept (with MITOCHONDRION) where they will embark on a European tour that will begin at Killtown Deathfest and end at the excellent Incubate fest respectively. Expect an update on this when we get a confirmed itinerary. Also the vinyl edition of “Taman Shud” will be released via Dark Descent Records a month or so after the CD comes out.
