For my tastes, Portugal has one of the better up-and-coming death metal scenes over the past few years with excellent releases from many different bands, and now Phenocryst is here to raise their banner as well. I went down a rabbit hole at Bandcamp a while back and came across this album and it has wormed its way into my brain with a display of substance and diversity. I hope these guys keep it together because they have a promising future.
