Unholy Union

Stuart Everson I honestly like anything this group of folks do. I dunno how many different bands they are all in but it’s all tight AF. This album is a total banger. Thunderous grind with some doomy accents sneaking in here and there. “Sacrifice” is my go-to track. “Deep Burial” is a close second. Frankly, if you don’t like this album, I don’t you really like grindcore and/or know what it is. Favorite track: Sacrifice.

Reviews:

"Cyclopean Blood Temple unleash 14 minutes of unyielding, chaotic grind on their debut EP release, Unholy Union. Dark, vile, and extremely unpredictable, this Florida quartet utilize a unique and caustic form of grindcore to eviscerate their listeners. The songs rip and roar with the genre’s innate hyper-speed fury, but are also brimming with gruesome dissonance and blackened sensibilities. The record kicks off with the dizzying one-two punch of “Worship” and “Dead Alive”. “Worship” drowns listeners in a swirling murk of disfigured, serpentine, cacophonous riffs that bring Portal‘s latter work to mind, while “Dead Alive” crushes with brooding hardcore attacks, disemboweling death metal, and skull-caving breakdowns. The album’s shortest track, “Temple of Torment”, also proves to its most straightforward grind assault, even though it still embodies the band’s singular sense of ugliness. The album’s three-minute centerpiece, “Outer Darkness”, proves to be the record’s heaviest moment. The track features a monstrous barrage of blackened, tremolo-picked grooves that ultimately bleed into an off-kilter, dissonant sludge march that will bury listeners under its weight. All-in-all, Unholy Union is the best debut Cyclopean Blood Temple could ask for. Fans of getting completely torn to shreds, take note."

"This is deeply unpleasant stuff. Or, as I like to call it, easy listening. Yep, if you’re into the kind of dark, blackened chaotic nastiness that Cyclopean Blood Temple peddle, then you’ll get on very well with their debut EP. Mixing grind, hardcore, sludge, and death metal into a blackened type of dissonant, violent nightmare, this might not be easy listening to most people, but to me it’s a form of sustenance.

Very tasty."

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
