CRUENTATION - Damned Fallen Angels CD

Release date September, 2025

Hailing from the oft-overlooked New England black / death underground, the four-pierce CRUENTATION possess an impressive resume of cult bands concurrent or prior: Witch Tomb / Impenitent Thief, Hirudenia, Cemetery Lights, Martyrvore, Ninnixu, and Embryonic Cryptopathia among many others.

Appropriately titled Damned Fallen Angels, CRUENTATION's debut album confronts and crushes with defiant zeal. This 10-track / 32-minute monolith soon becomes a soul-devouring abyss the second you press "play," existing somewhere between the most "deathened" black metal currently around or some of the most Satanic (and thus blackened) death metal birthed from the unholy legacy of Finland's Belial.

CRUENTATION excel at the art of songwriting: flowing and fluid, never ornate nor overly simplistic, and "catchy" in the sense of engaging the listener with an immediacy from beginning to end. In fact, with two members hailing from the pivotal Witch Tomb - who carried on Profanatica's sonic legacy while that band was on hiatus - it's not unjust to suggest that Damned Fallen Angels picks up where the short-lived Impenitent Thief left off. Feel the timeless wisdom of darkness!
