starvynth "Also the vocalist seems to feel comfortable in many genres; he could easily front a death/black metal band with his throaty, hoarse voice, and he also doesn't shy away from epic clean vocals, lending the last track a surprising but very welcome traditional heavy metal note. "

Short review: metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=2365 Favorite track: Lights Out.

jaith The psychedelic, dark atmosphere of this record is great.

about

Southern California’s Ancient Enemy plays down to the gutter metal, with riffs that cut to the bone. The mission is simple; kick out street-level anthems that audiences can violently headbang along to while swinging a beer in one hand and air-guitaring with the other.

On their debut EP, The Plague Ship, the band draws upon classic thrash, doom and death metal to vent their frustration, paranoia and primal desire to live free in a dying world.

released October 7, 2022

The Plague Ship was written by Ancient Enemy. David Fonseca and Evan McEneaney played the guitars, William Robert Dorrman played bass, Zac Morris played the drums and Patrick Rennick screamed the vocals.

Jason Adams recorded the album at his private studio, and Avinash Mittur mixed the album and helped with some additional recording. It was mastered by Justin Weis at TrakWorx in San Francisco.

The Scars of a Lost Reflective Shadow
by The Chasm

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Plague Ship”

This is my favorite album by Mexican death metal stalwarts The Chasm, by a wide margin. All the meandering, proggy excursions of previous releases have been brutally curtailed in favor of mountains on mountains of riffs, and the result is a release that is tighter and more focused than any of their output in the last decade+. Consider my interest renewed. Patiently awaiting the next one. Ghuughra

J'espère qu'on me passera cette référence datée et de plutôt mauvais goût mais ce premier album éponyme d'Autonoesis me rappelle le portrait de la femme idéale brossé par Pascal dans Les Trois Frères (grosse référence, hein ?) : on a principalement du thrash metal exécuté à la perfection avec des solos de guitares incroyables qui s'enchaînent, avec une production et des thèmes du black metal atmosphérique (jusqu'à suivre la philosophie de tout faire seul) et du chant black metal. ET TOUT TIENT ! Jordan Vauvert

I can not stop listening to this album. Mainly, the last track is my favorite. Such a great mix of genres from a stoner doom vibe with some classic raw black metal. it's great! Blizzy Bone
