What's even better than this kind of artwork on a T-shirt? Getting the music on physical format to go with it. These are printed on very soft cotton T-shirts and you get not only the digital album with it, but also the fantastic 8-panel digipak CD that is made using special metallic effect paper. Death/doom metal band ESOGENESI have concocted a sublime blend that harnesses the power of death metal with the poignancy of doom metal, backed with an able, organic yet powerful sound that the band can call it their own. Even though this is only their debut, the quartet have outdone themselves in creating music with unfathomable depth and emotional poise. The five songs plod along with subtle but effective changes in mood, tempo and groove, and it often becomes imperative to revisit them to catch the brilliant nuances ensconced in the rumbling death metal-spiked parts. This is as good a debut as any to come out in the genre and it only solidifies the band's place in the increasing death/doom roster of Transcending Obscurity.
