Underground extreme metal heroes, Auckland, New Zealand’s Ulcerate made their Relapse debut with ‘Vermis’ a pummeling, brain twisting example of just how creative and challenging the death metal genre can still be, without becoming obtuse or arty. Combining truly original dark atmospheric guitar work with powerful, blastbeat driven drums, ‘Vermis’ achieved a wholly unlikely harmonization of Neurosis and Morbid Angel. ‘Vermis’ is a genuine affirmation of how thrillingly brilliant extreme metal can be – an instant classic of forward thinking death metal.
 
'Vermis' was released September 17, 2013 on Relapse Records and can be purchased here.
