Costa Rican death metal quartet ASTRIFEROUS have unleashed their sophomore album, 'Atavistic Unraveling', a twisted and gruesome masterpiece that further cements their status as one of the most promising forces in modern extreme metal.

Following their 2023 debut 'Pulsations From The Black Orb', this latest offering flows with calculated cruelty, each successive track erupting into ugly, alien shapes to confound and terrify listeners.

With a distinctive sound that blends doom-tinged old-school brutality with odd psychedelic elements, ASTRIFEROUS showcases their punishing precision on tracks like 'Carriers Of The Curse' and 'The Floating Catacombs', while the grandiose and grotesque 'Proto Embryo (The Third Tribulation)' and spine-chilling finale 'Resonance Cascade' demonstrate their ability to craft complex and dissonant compositions.

With its own singular sound and aesthetic, 'Atavistic Unraveling' is a clear step forward for ASTRIFEROUS and a powerful glimpse of what the Costa Rican extreme metal scene has to offer.
