The band&#8217;s signature, ultra-atmospheric blend of unorthodox death metal with the textures of futurist black metal is here pared-down with the consummate hand of experience, giving stunning credence to the riff, the song, and the meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Embracing production clarity, Ulcerate uses these songs to fully showcase their otherworldly musicianship: a vocal performance from Paul Kelland of unadulterated authority, Michael Hoggard&#8217;s guitar, and Jamie Saint Merat&#8217;s percussion working in tandem with startling skill and originality, simultaneously skewed and heart-rending, often addictively succinct and reveling in strident motifs that hook, haunt, and transform the listener with their expressive honesty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Thematically, the album explores the concept of &#8220;death reverence&#8221; &#8211; drawing on recent personal experience to confront the truism that death and tragedy aren&#8217;t always sudden or violent, that people are often passive observers trapped &#8220;in the silent horror of observing death calmly and cleanly.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Stare Into Death And Be Still<\/em> is the deepest, purest, and most meticulous form of Ulcerate: a soul-searching conflagration of atypical melodicism, immaculate virtuosic dexterity and sublimated psychological upheaval. A breathtaking new beginning for one of the most uniquely talented bands in extreme music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Ulcerate delivers their first preview of the record with a stream of the title track.
