The Sceptor of the Ancients

by Psycroptic

supported by

Dimitris P Even though I don't really listen to technical death metal, this is one of my top albums of all time. It's literally like biting on something really WHOLE and full of tasty meaty substance. Favorite track: Lacertine Forest.

BUCWAH It can bring life or it can destroy... the power used is the bearers choice. The Scepter of the Ancients
(Metal From Van Diemens Land) One of the Classics from Down Under and the last one with Original Singer [Chalky] and still their best Album. Favorite track: Psycrology.

about

Tight, technical, complex Australian death metal with a variety of vocal approaches, a vast array of guitar techniques and an ambitious lyrical concept. The album consists of nine hyper-aggressive songs filled with ear-catching riffs and truly astonishing rhythm changes.

Archspire is wholly unique for their ability to write music that is this insanely technical, but also actually catchy and memorable. Absolutely one-of-a-kind band. Kadin Wisniewski

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
