VASTUM's catastrophic third album, Hole Below, was recorded with Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and released in November 2015 via 20 Buck Spin. Bleeding six grueling movements which see the band even delivering more densely claustrophobic tonal obliteration while simultaneously unloading top-notch musicianship the album shows a band who has honed their disturbed masochism into a sound manifestly their own and true to the core of the purest, darkest death metal.
Reigning in widespread critical acclaim, Noisey praised, "VASTUM's Hole Below is one of the best death metal albums of the year, if not the genre's absolute pinnacle for 2015... It's creepy, and complex, and utterly engrossing; you'll be hard-pressed to find anything else under the death metal banner that hits quite this hard, even without taking into account the disturbing, cerebral lyrics, which elevate VASTUM to an entirely different level of extremity." Decibel Magazine offers, "...this SF-based quintet lacquers ever time-tested gesture with enough fire to let their intrinsic strangeness shine through," and Invisible Oranges agrees, with, "A sheen of murk keeps the driving riffs just obscure enough to create some atmosphere without making the music incomprehensible."
