BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS is proud to present NOGOTHULA's striking debut album, Telluric Sepsis, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
The title itself gave more than a small indication of the sci-leanings the band would soon explore across their surging & slamming style of death metal. Guitarist Nick Moeller would later join, and as a quartet, NOGOTHULA would record their debut album, Telluric Sepsis. Released digitally in April 2024, Telluric Sepsis now sees a physical release courtesy of BLOOD HARVEST. And for good reason: sharper, strangely concise, and yet also more mind-bending, Telluric Sepsis is prime progressive-leaning death metal that never loses sight of the original essence of DEATH METAL. References are many - early 2000s Decapitated, Pierced From Within-era Suffocation, pre-Obscura Gorguts, late '90s Cryptopsy - but NOGOTHULA possess an elusive nous that minces and mangles those sturdy signposts in a manner that's familiar and foreign in equal measure. While the sci-fi element isn't as pronounced as, say, Nocturnus' first couple albums, there's nevertheless an undercurrent of "supernatural spaciness" to the overall atmosphere of Telluric Sepsis - part production, perhaps, or part songwriting itself.
