CIMMERIAN POSSESSION is a unique signing for PERSONAL in that the band,
while overtly sounding quite death metal, are authentically crust in the
classic sense: ultra-metallic hardcore punk, literally crushing in
their attack. The band's also a special signing for PERSONAL in that
they're likewise native to Mexico, and their members play in some of the
best-known extreme metal bands of the country like In Obscurity
Revealed, Ravenous Death, Infesticide, and Remains.
Sadistic Storm is the aptly titled debut of CIMMERIAN POSSESSION, and
you'd be hard-pressed to find a more CRUSHING crust record around.
Featuring the talents of Esteban Salcedo (drums and voice), Fabrizio
Melgar (strings), and Alejandro Méndez (strings), CIMMERIAN POSSESSION
formed in 2021, and that urgency - that sense of very real DANGER - can
be felt across the 18 world-eating minutes of Sadistic Storm. The
lyrical concept of the band focuses on misanthropy, without political
stance, and an obvious dark tendency, executed across raging, crusty
death metal. Altogether, it's the ominously galloping sound of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
And CIMMERIAN POSSESSION are just getting started. Sadistic Storm will
appeal to fans of Wolfbrigade, Skitsystem, Warcollapse, Axegrinder, and
Prophecy of Doom as surely as those of early '90s Swedish and Finnish
death metal and, of course, early Bolt Thrower. Crust, kill, destroy!
