Portugal's The Ominous Circle delivers a crushing take on the modern style of dark death metal. Where many of the contemporary outfits produce music filled with darkness and aggression, this album takes the atmosphere a step further.

This is a carefully designed ceremonial ritual built from tempo-varied death metal with strong influences of black metal. Immediate and captivating, yet with enough depth to withstand repeated listens. Highly recommended!
