Egregore - It Echoes In The Wild LP
Egregore - It Echoes In The Wild LP
Our initial shipment of ‘It Echoes In The Wild’ flew through our hands before I could get a glimpse of the damn thing. Wondering how Vancouver’s relatively low-profile Egregore caused such a retail frenzy I investigated upon our restocking of their sophomore LP (we also got the debut ‘The Word of His Law’) and the supreme taste of our Metal customers has once again been vindicated!
Ergegore fits right into the contemporary landscape of Death Metal focused labels like Dark Descent, Profound Lore, Me Saco Un Ojo and (in this case) 20 Buck Spin but conjures the thrilling and maniacal atmosphere of xtreme metals’ beginnings! I feel the crude, chaotic and charismatic ambitions of Possessed, early Slayer, Venom, Mercyful Fate and KAT.
The eccentricity of southern hemisphere rippers Tyrannic and Stargazer came to mind, as did the high-intensity, (non-party)Thrash you’d hear of the Dark Descent sub-label Unspeakable Axe (Rabid Beast, Sewercide, Ripper etc). Highly enjoyable and creative stuff from start to finish. – Nic
