ECHELON (UK/Sweden) - “Open Wide the Adamantine Gates” Full-length 2022
Echelon is a Death Metal supergroup with members of Hail of Bullets, Bolt Thrower, Paganizer, Benediction, Johansson & Speckmann, Putrevore, Ribspreader and more! It’s an exclusive project of Dave Ingram (vocals) and Rogga Johansson (guitars), teamed up with Johan Berglund (bass) and Brynjar (drums). “Open Wide the Adamantine Gates” released on June 30, 2022 by the Mexican label - Iron, Blood and Death Corporation - is actually the third full-length from this band after “Indulgence over Abstinence Behind the Obsidian Veil” (2015) and “The Brimstone Aggrandizement” (2016). What can you expect and get from Echelon which consists of big names in the international Death Metal scene? Yes, it is perfect and high quality Death Metal in many respects, no doubt about that. “Open Wide the Adamantine Gates” comprises 10 songs (almost 40 minutes) of old-school Death Metal at its purest form, an amalgamation of British undead brutalities and Swedish melodic classics, a reminiscence of 80s/90s Death Metal undisputed heyday, and it’s charged with more hate and darkness! This is unblemished Death Metal that is very powerful and really nostalgic, created for fans of Bolt Thrower, Benediction, Dismember and Carnage. Highly recommended!
