{"product_id":"vacuous-katabasis-lp","title":"Vacuous - Katabasis LP","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNewly formed London death metal trio VACUOUS have hit the ground running, overcoming the odds of the pandemic to persevere forwards even without being able to play a single show. Off the back of their smashing demo cassette earlier this year (released through F H E D and Red Door Records), Vacuous have honed their craft with a sharper, more polished set of songs that are no less intense and primal. Their latest EP Katabasis will be released on cassette and digital formats through F H E D on Nov 6th 2020.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpeaking about the EP themselves, \"Katabasis is a term from Greek mythology which signifies a descent into the underworld. We took this both on a fairly literal level, researching the different physical depths - caves, catacombs and underlands - but also the term’s usage in modern psychology to refer to a descent into one’s psyche as well as depression; particularly fitting given that this EP was recorded in isolation.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKatabasis sees Vacuous delivering more of everything - a more pummelling, raging, harrowing and all around darker record than their first demo. Self-recorded by the band during lockdown, the EP was mixed and mastered by Ben Jones (Slimelord, Lugubrious Children) with additional post-production from Tom Dring (Corrupt Moral Altar) at Vagrant Studios; Vacuous take the influences of old school death metal and reflect them through the lens of a bleak, miserable and oppressive 2020 Britain.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Black City Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43846254690540,"sku":"","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0497\/5912\/5660\/files\/a2453680492_16.jpg?v=1686228628","url":"https:\/\/www.blackcityrecords.co.uk\/products\/vacuous-katabasis-lp","provider":"Black City Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
