Details: Reinvigorated and revitalized, Reaping Asmodeia are back and set to leave their mark on 2021 with their third full length, Darkened Infinity. The Minneapolis, Minnesota three-piece present twelve tracks of rhythmically acerbic modern technical death metal and thematically dauntless songwriting, weaving together a conceptual story of transcendence, consciousness and humanity's ongoing struggle with the psychological self. Darkened Infinity sees Reaping Asmodeia capitalize on a growing reverence within extreme metal circles for their off-kilter time signature changes and complex songwriting, thanks in no small part to Alexander Kelly (guitars) and Daniel Koppy (drums)'s blistering sonic camaraderie that make the foundations of the band's assault. Replete with an inhumanly savage vocal performance across Darkened Infinity's runtime from Steven Lane, the trio shine on apocalyptic album highlights "False Awakening," "Oneironautic Oblivion" and "Simulacra." Produced and engineered by the band themselves in Minneapolis before being mixed and mastered by Zack Ohren (Machine Head, All Shall Perish, Carnifex) at Castle Ultimate and Sharkbite Studios, Darkened Infinity's intricate lead melodies unfurl with a menacing clarity when set against the album's more abrasive tones.
