Metallurgical Fire Finally, a Snorlax release with production to match the killer content. Love the vocal intensity. I couldn’t pick a favorite track. A very solid record.

Dmitry Nevozhay Don't be fool, buy this brilliant album asap. It's much better that you can expect from the scant reviews and mean logo font. Fresh take on blackened death, with stunning sound and songwriting

YomaBarr Even if all other tracks on this sucked which they don't Reawakened would be a reason enough to buy and revel in this. The sound is incredible. I've believed in Snorlax from the start and thus I have been rewarded richly.

ClassyMusicSnob An absolutely nasty sounding black metal album that comes in fast and leaves before you know it. It's fast, violent and has all you need from a great black metal album. 4/5

starvynth "The demonically evil being set at the centre of that hellish backdrop, that's engulfed in an explosion of vibrant colour, is a perfectly chilling setting to match the album's true dissonant blackened death nature. Snorlax may indeed be a sleepy, lazy, sloth-like Pokémon, but the music, believe me, is far from that."

about

To be released on our Death Metal imprint Unorthodox Emanations

Snorlax was born in unexpected circumstances during an experimental recording session in mid-2017 at Black Blood Audio in Brisbane, Australia. Recording engineer Brendan Auld stumbled upon the sound and found the voice of Snorlax while trialing new recording techniques. Following the stream of ideas and sounds that ensued, the result was what later became the unmastered release of The Splintering Demo. Having only played drums for a few short years at that point, Brendan's expectations were low, yet the release grabbed the attention of many black metal enthusiasts including Caligari Records, Jef Whitehead of Leviathan and even made #2 on a 2017 Decibel Magazine list of "Must Listen Underground Demos" compiled by the late Trevor Strnard of The Black Dahlia Murder.

Honing in on the Snorlax sound even further in 2020 with the release of II via Brilliant Emperor Records, more death metal-inspired elements began creeping into the foreground and soon the label "blackened death" was attached to project.

Jumping forward to 2023, Snorlax is set to release its third composition, mysteriously titled The Necrotrophic Abyss. Much like II, this full-length release clocks in at just under 30 minutes, delivering a concise, ruthless display of sonic violence and despair. This album is presented as a concept, with an overarching story that flows throughout, each song a chapter depicting a world so vile its own death is forced by the hands of nature. In the second half of the record Brendan introduces some new voices and layers of collaboration as the planet is laid to waste for eons resulting in a desolate baron abyss only creatures of the undead have a chance of surviving. The album closes with a slight glimpse of hope as the story eludes to an unlikely rebirth of evolution and a potentially inhabitable future after all.

This dark narrative is painted only by the lyrics, the music never loosening its grip, staying trve to the perpetual paralysis proclaimed on track 1 of the Snorlax first release.
