Ectovoid “In Unreality’s Coffin”

Label: Everlasting Spew · Year: 2026

Alabama’s Ectovoid return from the abyss with In Unreality’s Coffin, a full-length that arrives eleven years after their last album—yet it doesn’t sound like a band trying to “catch up.” This is existentially dark American OSDM with a little lethal BM influence, carved from dread, void-minded atmosphere, and riff discipline. The record is soaked in tremolo-driven darkness, but it also leans into slasher-like death metal riffs that feel sharp, predatory, and strangely cinematic. Most songs keep a mid-tempo range, letting the band emphasise groove, weight, and tension rather than cheap speed for the sake of aggression.

The drumming sits right in the pocket: classic OSDM fills, rhythmic patterns, and constant lock-in with the guitars, giving each track a natural forward push. When the leads creep in, they don’t feel decorative—they enhance the old-school spirit and feed the dynamics of each song without breaking the flow.

The real strength here is consistency: there isn’t a single weak section or “why is this here?” moment. If you worship Incantation and Drawn and Quartered, and you haven’t been aware of this band and album, it won’t take you more than two minutes to fall into this coffin willingly.
