Cosmic Putrefaction - Crepuscular Dirge for the Blessed Ones (2022)

There is an allure to space in its vastness, its mysteries, its suffocation, and in how stoic it is about its emptiness. We invent stories about corners and imagine what we might learn could we get out there amongst the dark matter and dark energy. But that is not going to stop death metal from speculating and getting creative with these universal mysteries. After all, if the genre is going to explore the mysteries of death, why not also explore those mysteries beyond. Cosmic Putrefaction is a project that is not alone in its desire to explore these mysteries in a expose of heavy, suffocation death metal.

Hailing out of Milan, Italy, Cosmic Putrefaction is the one-man project of Gabriele Gramaglia (also of Vertebra Atlantis, Summit, The Clearing Path, and more). Cosmic Putrefaction is at its (perhaps collapsed) core a death metal project. Though, its scope is beyond being simply a death metal project. There is a wide range of sound and experimentation that makes that gives the project vision. And the latest offering, Crepuscular Dirge for the Blessed Ones, harnesses an incredible range of sound that is, again, at its core death metal but elevates itself into the mighty beyond.
