Sepulcros (Portugal) formed in 2018, according to Metal Archives, and is comprised of musicians associated with acts like Summon, Abominamentum, Flaktiin, Graves, Spitgrave, Viles Vitae, Blacksunrise, Annihilation, Grog, and Utopium, mostly bands in various styles of extreme metal. However, this is the debut album (37 minutes; four songs, plus an intro and outro) by Sepulcross. In describing the genre, it is important to mention a secondary but central element of the music. It is true that this is death doom, but it should be noted that this is not a band trying to be the slowest, most slothful, and most sleep-inducing act that there is. They inject bursts of speed by way of black metal-influenced segments, and such a maneuver adds a different side to the listening experience.
