Dead Congregation ‎– Graves Of The Archangels 12" LP 2019

Long overdue re-issue on vinyl. Comes with insert and A2 poster. 

They released their debut full-length album Graves of the Archangels on January 30, 2008 in collaboration with Nuclear War Now! Productions. The album received overwhelming critical praise and has gained a huge underground following since its release. Blabbermouth praised the album as a step up from their EP, writing that "It is one of those albums that is demonstrative of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts." Particular praise was directed towards the songwriting, atmosphere, and the interplay between the guitarists.[8] Sputnik Music's Tyler Munro gave the album 4.5/5, writing that "pulls absolutely no punches. As said, it's an absolutely massive sounding album. Lose your focus and the album quite literally turns to background noise. The guitars continually overlap into an ocean of riffs. They splash around and when one guitar isn't doing something the other is. Everything layers unto itself and make no mistakes that the intention hear is to deafen the listener in the most traditional of fashions." He concluded by arguing that "Graves of the Archangels is not only one of the best metal releases of the year, but quite possibly one of the best in recent memory."[9] On April 1, they released a split EP with Hatespawn.[10] It was named by Pitchfork's Brandon Stosuy as the 5th best metal album of 2008.[11] He later wrote that "It was my favorite death metal album of the year and it's only gotten better since".[12]
