The Three Appearances certainly appeared out ot of nowhere for me and it's difficult to not praise the hell out of this EP. Favorite track: The Three Appearances - Snang Gsum.

Opethian Competent musicianship all across the board. Bandcamp continues to be a Pandora Box to an endless sea of unknown artist, and this listener struck gold with this colossal release. If the opening track doesn't grab a hold you, you're in the wrong neighborhood. Cheers from Colorado! Favorite track: Moribund State Shift.

    Description by Sentient Ruin Laboratories:

    Originally released on a limited run of CDs in 2014 by Italian label Terror From Hell, Assumption's The Three Appearances is one of the most imposing and enigmatic death-doom releases of this decade. Perhaps too unique and ambitious to be fully understood at the time of its release,the colossal thirty-minute EP is a masterwork of experimental slow moving death metal domination whose visionary enormity has thus far been unfortunately been matched solely by its unfortunate struggle to be noticed and recognized as the masterpiece that it is. Fast forward five years later, the band has been finally and rightfully dominating European stages playing the likes of Killtown Deathfest, Asakusa Deathfest in Japan, and sharing the stage with bands like Skepticism, Esoteric and Evoken, while this somewhat forgotten EP has slipped further and further from people's memory, becoming a lost treasure of contemporary death-doom. Today, with its first ever release on vinyl Sentient Ruin and Everlasting Spew (EU) aim at paying due homage and service to a release of inestimable power and importance that has sanctioned the birth and rise of one of death-doom's most under-appreciated but visionary contemporary death metal acts.

    Over the course of its four movements and thirty minutes of dismal heaviness and towering sonic enormity The Three Appearances glorifies death-doom in all its most iconic and beloved traits while redefining and reimagining the genre all-together, pushing it into an even more profound, refined, and dramatic dualism made of bludgeoning death metal riff mastery and ethereal and contemplative psychedelic virtuosity. Fusing the neck-snapping riff extravaganza of bands like Bolt Thrower, Grave, and Asphyx with the tenebrous hallucinogenic crawl of bands like Winter, Incantation and Disembowelment and the mournful and contemplative dirges of masters of slow and dismal atmospherics like Thergothon and Skepticism The Three Appearances projects a monstrous aura against a liquefying backdrop of lysergic atmospheres and mind-altering ambience that makes the listener feel enlightened and consciously augmented while simultaneously being slowly consumed and crushed by gravitational tides and invisible cosmic forces beyond human comprehension.

This terrestrial weeping An elegy burned away Mortal degradation Changing in its state Revolve around The Watershed Life's outcast Gaze into its oblivion Thrown in the past Skeletal dreams Dismembered fate Ashen streams Bring flowery flames Marble and stone To contain The last moribund In coral chains
2.
The gift of light That burns the night Together we adore Enraptured we implore... Let it begin Eons Spent awaiting for the time Celebration A power that will soon ignite Crawling to the shining infinity Gazing as our figures change A monstrous cup filled to the brim Ancient Might soon to be set ablaze Birth of immense energy Eyes burnt by the heat Chaos spawned from fire The Assumption has begun
3.
Threefold is the way Of dissolution Through the experience Of death's stage Appearence, Increase, Attainment... We'll embrace luminosity. Connection between mind And body Will be cut As our elements earth, fire, water, Wind and space Will merge into each other, Breath will reach its conclusion. The white essence shall descend From the forehead to the heart center, And so will the red element, Ascending from the navel Recognizing The very nature Of bliss and affliction... Consciousness dissolves.
4.
Manifest no emanations Substance and shape Mean nothing here ...the Non-Existing (x2) When surface and core join Existence itself Breaks through ageless seals ...the Non-Existing (x2) Prison of the illusory realm The perfectly Uncreated is concealed We could get rid of our abhorrent Cycle, Free not to feel But if you'll try to visualize the non-existing Automatically A form will emerge. ...the Non-Existing (x2)
