DEAD CONGREGATION

Debut album from 2008 by this outstanding Greek old-school Death Metal band. After building a formidable underground reputation through its demos and EPs, DEAD CONGREGATION made its definitive breakthrough with "Graves of the Archangels", an album that quickly became one of the essential landmarks of the 21st-century revival of dark and oppressive Death Metal.

Rather than simply paying tribute to the genre's classic bands, the group forged a distinctive identity through a masterful blend of sinister atmospheres, crushing riffs and perfectly crafted tempo changes. Now regarded as a modern Death Metal classic, it successfully revived the spirit of the early '90s while establishing a sound entirely its own.
