Acerbus - Live at KVRX (2003)

The final release from this short-lived band from Texas. They existed from 1999 to 2003 and made two EPs (Emanating Darkness in 2000 and in 2002) and were featured on a Slayer tribute album playing “Angel of Death“. This was the only release unavailable in full on this site, until now. As a band I discovered through ANUS, where their music was given positive reviews, I believe this release (which seems to have been out of print for almost 20 years now) is one that should be heard. Musically, I would be most apt to compare this to something like Cryptopsy, with a slight math rock influence to it (especially prevalent on the untitled tracks). This is likely their most experimental release overall. Tracklisting: 1. Kingdom of the Blind - 0:00 2. Malkuth - 1:36 3. Architectonic - 3:12 4. Blackening of Souls - 5:41 5. The Normal State of Man - 8:24 6. Living Death - 10:19 7. Unknown I - 13:23 8. Unknown II - 15:17 9.
