Vacuous has announced their debut full-length album Dreams Of Dysphoria for October 18 and you need to hear the destructive debut single "Body Of Punishment" right now. It's the kind of song that sounds exactly like its title, if not a little undersold in the brutality department. And man, is there plenty of that going on – Vacuous spans everything from blistering blasts and tremolo-picked madness to completely fucking filthy doom halfway through the track, all of which is written perfectly.
I also love the warning that comes along with the announcement of the album via Jørgen Sven Kirby of Nattskog webzine: "Listen for yourself and discover this nightmarish tome, but be warned: Dreams Of Dysphoria is a truly prophetic title, as this record might cause psychiatric harm, claustrophobia, sleep paralysis, and all manner of bodily harm."
Dreams Of Dysphoria is available here for pre-order via Dark Descent, and here via Me Saco Un Ojo. You can also check out Vacuous' debut EP Katabasis here, which I strongly suggest you do.
