Canadian black/death metal act Adversarial will release their third full length, Solitude With The Eternal... on May 31 through Dark Descent Records. From the press release:

Quote:
Dark Descent Records proudly presents "Solitude with the Eternal", the third album from Canada's blistering, serpentine three-piece Adversarial, on CD/LP/CS and digital formats May 31st, 2024.

Razor sharp. Slithering. Dual chasms yawn. A Janus-faced entity blinks, looking back and forward through the uncanny gloom. Dual tongues chase each other, slithering past cavities in the broken teeth. Licking against the neck, pulling more offal toward the trough. Each face has a black hole in the iris of each eye. As photons evaporate against the retina on the other side of the event horizon, memory fades. A knew knowledge, imbued from the excrements of microorganisms trickles through the throaty slough. Yes we’ve been here before. Yes we’ll be here again.

The entity known as Adversarial has opened the portal to a timeless realm of suffocation and agony once more. As leviathan doubles back on itself, sulfer rises from the point of crossing, a bouquet of putrid yolk. This foul chemical will sustain nigredo, as metal black as midnight is tempered under atom smashing might.

Spoiler: show


Well it looks like they've picked up exactly from where they left off with their last album. I'm definitely a fan of the dissonant blackened death metal style this band has developed over the years so this should be a good one.

Finally!

What happened to the remix of the first album? There was a teaser song and then the project vanished from the internet.

Had this penciled in as a likely AotY option ever since I started hearing rumours. Probably the best riffing band in active existence.

There was. I follow their drummer Erich on Instagram and asked him about it, he's not even sure what happened to the project. The remix and master is done, so I guess it's up to Dark Descent now.

Album rips. Can't wait for my copy. Their signature riffing style remains intact and sounds as deadly as ever. One of the best modern black/death metal bands, certainly worth waiting 9 years for new Adversarial.

I think it's a bit less deadly. The riff count is there but they're doing a lot looser jangly turn arounds at the end of the riffs so it's a bit more moody and black metally at the cost of some outright savagery. I've only listened once so far though, which I enjoyed but nowhere near to the extent of the other two.

It sounds a bit more dissonant to my eyes. It may not be as relentless as the previous one but it's still pretty cool.

first impression is that its good but a step down.
