Metal Injection Fires Up Early Stream of CATHEXIS Album Untethered Abyss
Metal Injection has premiered the forthcoming debut album from Texas Death Metallers CATHEXIS. Stream Untethered Abyss HERE.
CATHEXIS will release debut album Untethered Abyss June 25 on CD, vinyl, and digital formats via Willowtip Records. Pre-orders are available via Bandcamp and Willowtip Records.
Untethered Abyss is the culmination of six years of painstaking songwriting and a carefully selected cast of international talent amassed to bring forward a finely tuned and unrelenting piece of modern death metal.
Untethered Abyss is eight tracks of tightly focused death metal with a production that captures the humanity and unfiltered energy each musician displays in every performance. The band’s focus on holistic songwriting seeks to create naturally flowing and memorable tracks where every riff’s place within the song is carefully considered to maintain internal consistency and create meaningful arcs within the music, rather than meander through detached ideas.
CATHEXIS strives to make unique and forward thinking death metal that pays tribute to the genres basest and most satisfying elements.
