Allura'taq (Washington state, U.S.A.)

Allura'taq is melodic extreme metal in the state of Washington. It appears that there might not be a more recent recording than the 2015 album Unearthly Inversion. This publication does not have any updates or new information about this entity, or even if it is still active or not. Anyway, for now at least, there is this album which lasts about an hour. Below is some information about the entity from Facebook but it seems like they last posted on Facebook back on September 23, 2015.
Biography: Allura'taq is a conglomeration of several Alutiiq words, among them 'stranger' and 'singer'. Bobby Savage and Jeff Kastelic have been playing music together for over a decade in bands such as: Full Frontal Assault, KodiaK and Devilry(U.S.). The duo hail from the Pacific Northwest; Bobby Savage from Alaska, Jeff Kastelic from Washington state. Allura'taq captures the deep, manic energy that stems from nature and the celestial. Melodic and sometimes chaotic, Allura'taq is continually influenced by European Metal made in late 80's and 90's to produce music that is powerful, dark and exhilarating. -"Beyond what can be mortally known,
Unearthly inversion, drawn in shadows"
"...many elements in music and early European death metal and black metal. But to call a specific name with whom the group would have more in common is not possible. One can only recall there Dissection, Immortal late 90s, Darkthrone, Dismember, and of course, Bathory. All of them are not like Allura'taq, but in varying degrees, the boys drew inspiration precisely from these." ...also have been told we sound a bit like Morbid Angel.
