While preparing their planned full-length for the end of this year, Skeleton has surprised us with the EP Ordainment of Divinity on 20 Buck Spin. This 12 minutes demo comes straight from the catacombs to fulfill your ears with dusty and viscid aggressiveness immersed on a Lo-fi production that is undoubtedly instigating us for a ‘nuclear bomb’ record.

Ordainment of Divinity kicks off with a hell of a long intro for an EP, yet it teleports the listener to a march that resembles the path until a ferocious battle on a stormy weather day. Once ‘Skeleton-I’ hits its first notes, the bullets start to penetrate the human flesh, and the firearms burn what it has left; all above, a blood tide built upon blackened riffs ready to crush everything down.

 

The disorder carries on in the next three compositions, and the raw, cruel, and barbarous sonority keep on powering up the agitation as an addictive soundtrack that will never get out of your mind. Almost comparable to a never-ending spiral that the more you listen, the more vicious it can get.

It is pretty notable how much I dig this EP; it is fast, intensely destructive, and it must be said that it is actually even more potent than its sophomore album released last year. Ordainment of Divinity is the tumultuous battle that seeks never to be over.
