VASTUM
HOLE BELOW

Through the verbose horror of their first two LPs “Carnal Law” and “Patricidal Lust”, San Francisco’s Vastum sadistically carved a jagged dripping wound into an increasingly reductive American Death Metal scene. Arising again for their third full length album Vastum plumb the depths of internalized agony and degradation farther than ever on “Hole Below”. Three albums in, Vastum have honed their disturbed masochism into a sound manifestly their own and true to the core of the purest darkest Death Metal. 20 Buck Spin presents “Hole Below” as one of the finest, best executed examples of Death Metal this year.
