The apparition known in physical form as Occultation materializes with its second full-length LP, Silence in the Ancestral House, expanding on the twisting, malformed post-punk and cast-iron dark doom first revealed through its Three & Seven debut. Under the light of the moon Occultation creeps, crawls and crushes like a many-tentacled abomination using seductive power and hypnotic conjuring on the nine curses contained within.
Captured from air in a far more powerful and convincing manner than ever before at God City Studios, the band strikes a mood both sombre and grim, reflecting a contorted, wrecked expression in a cracked mirror through eminently listenable heavy metal sorcery. 20 Buck Spin through the mist unveils the waxen edition which includes the fantastic visual interpretation by Adam Burke on both the cover and the included poster.
“If you ever wondered what Negative Plane would sound like with a little occult rock slant on their vocals and a touch of goth at the edges, then Occultation will tick all those boxes for you.” —Cvlt Nation
“What I can tell you is that Occultation play hauntingly creepy, eerie music that would fit perfectly into some John Carpenter horror film setting the mood for terrible things to unfold before your eyes.” —Occultrock.com
“They have a way of getting inside you and haunting you wholly, leaving you cowering in a corner, begging for the mercy of light. It’s not a put on. It’s the real thing.” —Meat Mead Metal
