Mountains of Madness

Now while we could quibble about exact definitions there have been very few pure death metal albums on my list over the years, a quick glance told me three since I started doing these lists in 2009. Puteraeon has been churning out there Lovecraftian death metal for 17 years (full disclosure I have been friends with guitarist / composer Lindblood for close to three decades now) and I’ve enjoyed most of what they’ve put out even though it’s generally not what I listen to on a regular basis. Mountains of Madness changed that completely, this is their finest work to date, and my second most played album of the year. It just seems like absolutely everything clicked this time around, the riffs and composition have never been better and they managed to dial in a production that fits everything perfectly, they have never sounded as sharp, focused, or truly monstrous as they do here. This is Puteraeon at their finest, and if you in any way enjoy death metal you really need this, just cannot recommend it hard enough.
