After the scenes of carnage left by last year’s two track EP, The Concurrent Cycle, SIJJEEL have returned once again with more sounds of otherworldly horror – this time a full album of mind-breaking, soul-burning death metal of the very darkest hues. More deeply steeped in the essence of terror than ever before, SIJJEEL have invoked the ineffable, the unspeakable…the Affiliation Of Horrid Containment!
Drinking deeply from a well of inspiration whose waters are black with the blood of old gods and the effluence of devils, SIJJEEL have summoned into existence an album of horror and madness such as other bands only glimpse in their nightmares. From the first notes of its nerve-stripping instrumental intro through to the last dying embers of the climactic ‘Impaled Upon The Pyre’, Affiliation Of Horrid Containment is a behemothic black monument of agony made manifest. Each song is a new vision of chaos, be it the jagged blades of ‘Abominable Captivation’ or ‘Torment Upon Their Existence’ – a cascade of warped grotesqueries that finally breaks open into bludgeoning blows of malignant dissonance. Hussain Akbar spins riffs from his guitar like the entwined entrails of innocents, while the bass of Lukas Kaminski (Stillbirth, Placenta Powerfist etc) is an abyssal beast, rearing up to inflict wanton stab wounds on the songs’ tortured structures as the world-swallowing voice of Floor van Kuijk (Focal Dystonia, Korpse etc) roars its incantations of insanity from the darkness SIJJEEL have invoked another death metal plague from beyond the void that will tear your mind apart!
Continuing their blood pact with Comatose Music, SIJJEEL will unleash Affiliation Of Horrid Containment on July 5th. Mixed and mastered by the band’s own Floor Van Kuijk at his infamous GLDCHN Studios (A Pretext To Human Suffering, Carnifloor etc) for maximum, soul-scarring impact and wrapped in the eye-gouging artwork of Rudi Gorgingsuicide (Perveration, Desecrate The Faith etc), this album is set to bring a new age of darkness to the death metal underground. SIJJEEL will leave you scarred and broken by the horrifying force of Affiliation Of Horrid Containment!
