Once thought long dead, existing as they did during the ancient days of the early '90s, Baxaxaxa arose from the dead in 2018 with an exclusive performance at the esteemed Destroying Texas Fest and then a gig in their native Germany. Feeling scorn for current Black Metal and wishing to stir the cauldron of yore, they recorded two EPs of the Black Metal to which the band is beholden: rotten, primitive, and ancient, out of touch and most definitely out of time. Nearly 30 years after their original formation, Baxaxaxa finally release their debut album: "Catacomb Cult". Exquisitely OLD and proudly so, the album is everything a Baxaxaxa full-length should be: patiently hammering, ghoulishly atmospheric, and reeking of sulfur. As the album sounds like quintessential Baxaxaxa, there are subtle developments in their ever-uncompromising sound. Their characteristically medieval synths, tastefully applied, linger like funeral fog. The clear and cutting production reveals every haunting nuance without sacrificing any grit. FFO Mortuary Drape, Root, Tormentor, early Samael, and very early Mayhem. The past is alive and dead with Catacomb Cult! Limited Edition (unspecified).
