Degraved “Premonition of Blasphemy”

Year: 2025

Seattle’s Degraved has released a new EP, and once again, they’ve managed to put it in front of me. These guys have been pretty active since the pandemic. Their 2023 EP was in a similar vein.

If you’re wondering about their style, here’s how I’d describe it: It’s highly likely that they rehearse in the lowest basement chamber of a funeral home that was demonically summoned and subsequently shut down in the 1930s—and they probably do this by time-traveling back to 1990.

The deep growl vocals are fun, but he could use some extra power, as they sometimes feel a bit weak. If you’re a craving zombie and enjoy seasoned morbid death metal straight out of a 1990 basement rehearsal room, this EP is for you. (Hey underground music labels, take a look over here!)
