josedenoche Eldritch guturals are so decaying. A perfect dissonance to open chaos threshold. Favorite track: Living String.

about

In quick succession to follow the "Fetid.Rotted.Cursed" demo, GARDEN OF EYES have another new demo of visceral Eldritch Death Metal to offer. Once more we see 3 pieces of Bloodborne lore inspired, doomy, Swedish-style Death Metal. Follow this fetid and pustulous pathway to the altar of despair...

REVIEWS:

-CTHULHU ZINE: "Slathered with doom, primitive and raw Death Metal. Garden Of Eyes consume from the inside out, tearing through flesh, liquifying and engulfing the entire host body into formless horror."

-AVE NOCTUM (7.5/10): "It carves a desolate atmosphere, a chthonic world where the forgotten and misshapen crawl. The riffs are memorable too, nicely shaken up by the time changes, and the guitar breaks for me suit it well."
avenoctum.com/2020/08/garden-of-eyes-altar-of-despair-cryptic-blood-ahpn-records/

-DEATH BY HAMMER: "The atmosphere on this release is absolutely morose and makes me think of being lost in some underground catacomb filled with all things decayed. The three songs on “Altar of Despair” offers a tasty 12 minutes of pure charnel, unholy death metal that is bound to raise a few dead souls every time you press play."
death-by-hammer.blogspot.com/2020/11/review-garden-of-eyes-altar-of-despair.html

-DECOMPOSED ZINE: "Altar Of Despair creates a desolate and dark atmosphere that fits right in with the eldritch subject matter. Slimy, fetid and putrescent, this EP features memorable guitar riffs, good songwriting and excellent vocals that build upon Swedish DM canon."

-DOOM HEART: "Amazing fetid putrid Swedish old-school Eldritch Death / Doom"

-SOULGRINDER ZINE: "You can hear the buzzsaw classic guitar sound. but at a slower pace and also atmospheric parts."
