Four years in the making, IN CRONIAN HOUR is the long-awaited collaborative split 7 inch between Canadian occult lunatics Mitochondrion and hyperblasting sorcerers Auroch. Here stands 11 minutes of ritual death metal united in voice, word, and deed in all aspects! Each song carries the same essence diverged: literally, a single sheet of lyrics interpreted by each band and shaped into two unique pieces. What awaits is a whirlwind of insanity spiraling into a humming void of bliss. This meticulous path can be traced throughout the work, with members of the greater inner Covenant contributing to both tracks. A complete coagulation of forces.
Dark Descent Records and Hellthrasher Productions will be responsible for unleashing this death metal talisman unto the masses, in 2 unique coloured vinyl formats. All visual manifestation impeccably crafted by Cold Poison. Once again mastering duties performed by Colin Marston at Thousand Caves studio. May this work stand as a gilded Sickle in the heart man!

death thrash and doom... expanding my horizons with this band. adversarial would work with me to but having the physical vinyl pressing is so much more different. I only have cds from dark descent. jensen5g

Bleak, atmospheric and insanely heavy. Lengthy, terrifying and addictive. Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom Metal with horns and jazz thrown into the mix. It works, it’s a nightmare to remember and relive. Kings of Castille

Pretty interesting modern-day blackened, dissonant death metal with some technical parts interlaid within. Would recommend to those looking for something for more experimental, though non-progressive in the genre. terrariancloud
