The Pete Flesh Deathtrip – The Sun Will Fail – Single Review

Source // The Pete Flesh Deathtrip

One man Swedish death metal army The Pete Flesh Deathtrip returns in May and “The Sun Will Fail” is the first song unveiled from new album Svartnad. 

Grisly, gnarled, embittered and flayed red raw, a forceful nihilism tears through the very fabric of this track, an early indication of what the album will hold and a relatively expected continuation of the filth found on 2013’s Mortui Vivos Docent.

At times, “The Sun Will Fail” recalls the darkly hypnotic grooves conjured by latter day Satyricon, a blackened death ‘n’ roll blast that couldn’t be further from Entombed, Dismember et all but still hits with the same bulldozer-esque power. Stripped back to it’s purest essence, this is simply extreme metal performed by an artist well versed in what makes lovers of this music tick.

“The Sun Will Fail” is hard to ignore and easy to appreciate and Svartnad is shaping up to be an unnervingly essential experience. 8/10

The Pete Flesh Deathtrip is a solo project born with the sole purpose of adding different guest and session members with every new release.
