A PRETEXT TO HUMAN SUFFERING – ENDLESS CYCLE OF SUFFERING

Following on from their 2020 EP, Rotting SanctumA Pretext To Human Suffering have returned with a first full length album of their complex and punishing, trademark technical, brutal death metal. Bringing together captivating melody, high velocity savagery, crushing heaviness and breathtaking musicianship and forging them into an adamantine alloy of unimaginable power, Endless Cycle Of Suffering is a staggering demonstration of A Pretext To Human Suffering’s strength and skill. Ten tracks of mind blowing potency make this one of extreme metal’s finest debut albums in recent times.

A Pretext To Human Suffering started life as a solo project in 2019, the spawn of vocalist, guitarist and song writer Chris Mathis’ fevered imagination. However the beast quickly grew from those isolated origins, with Wes Van Hook (Sold Soul, ex-Lord of WarInhuman Atrocities), Beto Vipe (Devour the UnbornDefleshed and Gutted) and Spencer Atkinson-Del Puppo (ex-Cryptic Enslavement) adding their considerable musical muscle to the ranks. Yet even knowing the pedigree of the musicians involved in A Pretext To Human Suffering, nothing could have prepared fans for the decimation and destruction that is Endless Cycle Of Suffering. So much more than ‘just another death metal album’, Endless Cycle Of Suffering draws from all areas of the death metal genre, infusing its brutality with haunting atmosphere, tearing through its torrid darkness with glistening solos and crafting true songs; dynamic and enthralling exercises in the extreme.

Adorned in the superb artwork of Vladimir ‘Smerdulak’ Chebakov (1914DeadheadLake Of Tears etc) and blessed with a monstrous sound, courtesy of Floor Van Kuijk at GLDCHN Studios (SijjeelFocal Dystonia etc), Endless Cycle Of Suffering will be unleashed by Reality Fade Records (Visions Of DisfigurementColpocleisis etc) on May 26th. Prepare yourself for one of the most intense and overwhelming death metal experiences of the year.
