StarGazer - New Album Details, MP3 Available


Australian avant-garde occult death metal band StarGazer have finally completed work on their much-anticipated full-length album, A Great Work Of Ages, the first StarGazer full-length in five years. The album will be released late August.

Following 2005's The Scream That Tore The Sky - the band's debut album - StarGazer), along with their like-minded comrades Portal, had already built quite a reputation within the Australian underground metal scene since their formation towards the end of 1994 and had already manifested themselves as one of the most potent forces within the Australian metal underground.

And just like Portal, StarGazer (in which said members are also involved with bands such as Mournful Congregation, Cauldron Black Ram, and were even a part of Portal's line-up for Outre) have crafted themselves out to be one of the most unique death metal bands today (musically and lyrically). Amongst a series of demos, EP's, splits, and compilations (surrounding their Scream That Tore The Sky release), StarGazer create an intimidating breed of avant-death metal which comes across as chaotic mix of classic '80s thrash ala Coroner and Voivod blended with the aesthetic power of Morbid Angel, the blackthrash virulence of Absu, and who also incorporate the more progressive edge of death metal reminiscent of Testimony Of The Ancients era Pestilence, Atheist and Sadus.

Overall, A Great Work Of Ages is complex, very progressive, and ultimately psychedelic, yet technically proficient and masterfully crafted where an immense unholy atmosphere creates vortex-like chaos unparalleled through violent waves of sonic magick.
