While the pair initially both : : played with Bay Area-like devotees Infinite Translation, they : : instantly bonded not only over classic death metal but its : : Swedish late '80s/early '90s counterpart, back when that : : subgenre was still in its infancy yet still did reek of that : : unmistakable stench, away from modern trickery and trends. : : : : Eight years later, their (malicious) intent is not only : : intact but stronger than ever. Yet, besides an impressive : : outlet of various splits and demos completed by a first : : proper full-length (Of The Depths...), what once was a : : studio-only side-project has now turned into a powerful and : : fully-fledged band. SKELETHAL first recruited live session : : members in 2014 to respond to the live demand, while Jon : : ended up leaving the band in November 2018 for personal : : reasons. Assisted by Lucas from Mortal Scepter, who became an : : official member after serving for over five years as lead : : guitarist, Gui vowed to recruit a whole lineup, recruiting : : first Julien on bass and then Lorenzo Vissol from : : Schizophrenia on drums. By January 2019, the "new" SKELETHAL : : started working on the forthcoming second album. : : : : Preceded by the demo-cum-proper-EP Antropomorphia, whose : : title track has actually been rerecorded here, Unveiling the : : Threshold succeeds in both staying true to its historical : : roots - you'll be easily forgiven if you first think you've : : stumbled into an unreleased Hetsheads or Carnage demo - while : : going beyond the simple and now too-limited Swedeath tag. Way : : beyond. : : : : Wasting very little time with its opening salvo "Sidereal : : Lifespan," the album first grabs you by the throat before : : circling the listener like a vulture. They may still tread on : : the left-hand path, but besides resurrecting a certain idea : : of the underground - some may say "true" - that seemingly : : disappeared back in 1991, it's actually how genuinely evil : : and undiluted their death metal is that's most striking about : : Unveiling the Threshold. : : : : Mostly written by Gui, with contribution by Lucas - who came : : up with all the music for "Adorned With The Black Vertebra" : : and helped co-write "Repulsive Recollections" - yet with all : : four members pitching in for arrangements, the whole album : : was ironed out throughout 2019. To keep it raw, they opted to : : record everything by themselves in their rehearsal room in : : Tourcoing, nearby Lille, in France before handing the result : : over to Greg Wilkinson from the now-(in)famous Earhammer : : studios (Necrot, Undergang, Acephalix, etc.) for the mix last : : June. : : : : Indecent and obscene, rounded by a colorful yet on-purpose : : cryptic and ominous artwork perfectly illustrating its title : : by the one and only Eliran Kantor (Bloodbath, Hate Eternal, : : Athiest, etc.), Unveiling the Threshold is the proof that : : SKELETHAL are not here to crawl, but to climb to the very top : : of the Swedeath food chain.
