Label: The Flesner
Released 5/24/19
On their debut album Oakland, California’s VALE channel visions of a grim future in which the world is barren and destroyed, where agents of opportunity consume everything they can get their hands on. Titled Burden Of Sight, the album can be seen as an expression of outrage felt at the pervasive exploitation and avarice that has taken root in the band’s own backyard. From rampant homelessness to the overindulgences of the upper class, it’s all too easy to imagine the harsh reality of decomposing landscapes fraught with cannibalism and religious zealotry that the band depicts across six tracks of roaring, death-infused black metal. Featuring current and past members of ABSTRACTER, ATRAMENT, ULTHAR, VOID OMNIA, LYCUS, MORAL VOID, MUTILATION RITES, and TOMBS.
