RAVENOUS SOLEMNITY (2014)
El segundo larga duración de los griegos Dephosphorus viene a ofrecer otra vuelta de tuerca en el sonido que la banda que tan bien ha sabido hacer suyo a lo largo de su carrera. Ofreciendo un black metal directo e hiriente con grandes influencias del death pero sobre todo del grind, sin llegar a ciertos extremismos en su sonido, pero si en cuanto a estructuras. Temas cortos, sin excesivos adornos, con una actitud muy punk en todo el álbum, que logran incorporar también algunas pausas que permiten tomar aire e insuflarle también cierto aire doom. Con una buena producción que aunque nos pueda parecer que suenan crudos, se ha hecho un buen trabajo en toda la instrumentación y sobre todo en las voces de Panos que transmiten agresividad y brutalidad. La estela de Napalm Death es alargada pero Dephosphorus han sabido recoger su influencia y granjearse un sonido propio en donde confluyen diferentes estilo de manera precisa, tal vez no sorprenda tanto ya como su anterior larga duración pero la propuesta es realmente interesante. (8).
Disco 1
Cara A
1. Reversed into Contraction 03:02
Agonizing
Like an infant
Torn out from his mother womb
Facing the violence
Of a brave new world
I recall an existence
I ignore all of it
I ignore the shape I possessed
And the feelings I've had
Awakening
Lush with death-life
Last thing that I remember
Is reversing into contraction
Reversing into contraction
Collapsing
Collapsing
Then everything was stripped away
Then everything was stripped away
Even the notion of existence
All has vanished utterly
Then shape-taking again
Shape-taking again
Everything was stripped away
Even the notion of existence
Shape-taking again
Awareness
Existence
2. There Is a Color 02:55
There is a color,
yet unseen.
There is a sea unsailed.
There is a sky,
bursting
awaiting to explode.
There is an essence,
yet uncharted.
There is a soil untrod.
There is a sound,
yet unheard.
A function unthought of.
There is a Void,
yet unperceived.
A Vacuum Invisible.
There is a color,
Slowly morphing.
A chasm unexplored.
There is a colour,
yet unseen.

Cowardly escapism.
Too weak to assume the position.
Towards the cold, mysterious infinity.
Sworn enemies of science.
A civilization eternally torn apart.
By the war of feeling versus reason.

6. Glorification of the Anti-Life Equation 03:34
Numb in amazement
Ecstatic within the awe of realization.
And acceptance.
Such is the condition of the non-illuminated being
Against the mere coherence.
Of cosmological absolutes.
Blissful through the sanctification.
Of comprehensional incapacity.
The gift of Anti-Life.
Woe to you , o Universes!
Blissful through the sanctification.
Of comprehensional incapacity.
Gone is the concept
of general relativity.
Dominant is the equation.
That prevents expansion.
Revel in the sound.

With the ghastly echoes of Catastrophe.
Such is the apprehension of the illuminated.
In conjunction with erratically reshaped Universes,
all matter of calamities are unleashed
In Anti-Life.
