Milwaukee death-thrash veterans Viogression—reunited in 2014 after 20 years—are making up for lost time, releasing their second full-length album since reconvening on July 11. Titled Thaumaturgic Veil, the album tackles themes of “human consciousness, vibrational frequency and esoteric intent,” filtered through the lens of old-school, Midwest-style death metal.
Thaumaturgic Veil sees Viogression pick up where they left off with their last album, 3rd Stage of Decay, in 2022. You’ll find the parallels to Death, Obituary and Morbid Angel rather easily (“Pummeled”), but Viogression also deliver high-speed passages and grooves that recall the primitive days of death thrash (“Travesty öv darkness”). Combining deeper lyrical themes that tackle philosophical and related themes, Viogression are able to present something different and interesting on Thaumaturgic Veil.
“This record is a transcendental descent into the abyss of the human neuro-cognitive system,” Viogression added when asked about the album. “We hope you enjoy it.”
Put your thinking cap on and strap in for a full stream below; Viogression are set to self-release Thaumaturgic Veil on July 11.
