about

Heavy metal trio HEAVENS DECAY finally released "The Great Void Of Mystery", their first album. After a long and illustrious career in Death Metal as a guitarist Julio Viterbo (TORMENTOR, SHUB NIGGURATH, CENOTAPH & THE CHASM) decided to reconnect with the Heavy Metal that enveloped him as a youth and gave meaning to his life. The groundwork was laid in August 2013 when Viterbo participated in the recording of ACERUS debut album The Unreachable Salvation, a Heavy Metal album for which he composed half the songs. The work was a turning point in his career as a guitarist, allowing Viterbo to explore new sounds and expand his compositional scope.

The result was the launch of HEAVENS DECAY in 2015. After composing several songs, Viterbo invited Oscar Clorio (DAMNED CROSS, CENOTAPH, SHUB NIGGURATH, DENIAL) to join him on the journey as drummer, The pair then recruited Nick Hernandez (STONE MAGNUM) as vocalist. The songs were completed via the Internet, as Oscar lives in Mexico City, while Julio and Nick call Chicago home.

Finally in July 2016 HEAVENS DECAY recorded The Great Void Of Mystery in Chicago's Minbal studios. The album was engineered by Matt Russell and mastered by Dan Swanö in Unisound studios in Sweden.

The Scars of a Lost Reflective Shadow
by The Chasm

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Great Void Of Mystery”

This is my favorite album by Mexican death metal stalwarts The Chasm, by a wide margin. All the meandering, proggy excursions of previous releases have been brutally curtailed in favor of mountains on mountains of riffs, and the result is a release that is tighter and more focused than any of their output in the last decade+. Consider my interest renewed. Patiently awaiting the next one. Ghuughra

I'm happy how this record found me. A kind of 'pedal to the metal' music drives you into the deep night to buy some leather pants. I'll tell my kids that this is Metallica. XUN

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
