Hypnagogic Hallucinations
Warping minds and matter with their two track 2018 demo, Bedsore came to the attention of 20 Buck Spin, who together in twisting conspiracy now issue the full length album ‘Hypnagogic Hallucinations’. A fitting title for the dark lucid dreamscapes and obscure fantasia Bedsore deliver on their debut. Like an Argento film the Roman band paint the canvas of Death Metal in vivid bright washes of ornamented color and stabs of inventive horror that belies the corporeal grotesquery of the band’s name. Probing into the brain through psychedelic digression and winding hypnotic prog a protean world of weird organic contours and mysterious meaning take shape. A debut album of considerable imagination and subconscious peculiarity, ‘Hypnagogic Hallucinations’ is an uninhibited first step for a band emboldened to travel to the farthest reaches of the possible within the celestial spheres of Death Metal. LP / CD / TAPE AVAILABLE THROUGH 20 BUCK SPIN
These are strange and exciting times in the nefarious stew of death metal creativity. If you enjoyed having your brain turned into spinning gravy by recent records from BLOOD INCANTATION, VOIDCEREMONY and CRYPTIC SHIFT, then the chances are that you are way ahead of me here and already using BEDSORE...
With a better, but no less intimidating production value, Bedsore comes through with a powerful debut of savage heaviness and transportive psychedelia.
