The most immediately noticeable change is the length Unaussprechlichen Kulten have always favored brevity, and with Keziah Lilith Medea, they’ve finally eschewed it with this album. Though not much has changed in the last few years since their last full length, Unaussprechlichen Kulten have once again pulled out an incredible album to slaughter their fans, and while it’s more in line with their older material, some small changes render this a truly new entity in its own right. Strangeness pops up and leaves as unexpectedly as it appeared, more standard death metal coming and going as the band rapidly changes tempos and moods. To the uninitiated, these mad Chilean veterans have spent the last couple of decades putting their own touches on the classic early ‘90s Immolation formula, throwing incredibly aggressive angular Azagthothean riffs into a blender with thundering double-bass and frantic solos to bash in the heads of listeners, mixing in technical bits that rapidly (and organically) progress through the band’s many ideas as they move through an album. Make no mistake, Keziah Lilith Medea (Chapter X) is absolutely fantastic, and deserves the wide attention that I’ve seen for it through the year. Almost twenty years later, they’re even better than they were at the beginning, building on the strong core sound that’s slowly built them up a fanbase as one of the most consistent modern death metal bands. Evil Chilean death metal cult Unaussprechlichen Kulten have been around since the late ‘90s and have never stopped putting out absolutely wicked ancient death metal, reliably dropping an album every few years starting with their first in 2005.
