ichor - hadal ascending

ichor is a german death metal band from trier, i believe. they are around for quite some time, eleven years at least, and got four full lengths under their belt. i actually had two of them on cd in my possession before a water damage in my basement ruined three quarter of my cd collection. i pretty much forgot about them but when i bought the avalanche record at the wooaaargh shop, i spotted this gem.
when i saw the cover art and the band name, i knew that i had to check that out. i listened to one song over at the tube and after that, there wasn't the shadow of a doubt that i had to have a vinyl copy for myself. the record is a beautiful bastard of modern death, a good portion doom and a bit tech. the presentation is awesome. lovely gatefold sleeve with cool artwork and stunning turquoise marble vinyl. 200 copies made. wooaaargh. 2018.
