A Flock Named Murder- "Incendiary Sanctum" Review by Ray Wheeler

Toronto’s atmospheric post-black metal trio A FLOCK NAMED MURDER has done it again! Their sophomore full-length, Incendiary Sanctum, drops May 2nd via Hypaethral Records, and it’s nothing short of a masterpiece. This is an album that defies boundaries, merging black metal, post-metal, doom, and death metal into a sprawling, cohesive journey through sound and emotion.

From the haunting field recordings in “The Eulogy Fields” to the crushing intensity of “Pierced Flesh Catharsis,” every track is a testament to their artistic evolution. The band pushes their sound to its limits with intricate melodies, visceral screams, and hypnotic atmospheres. Fans of Agalloch, Neurosis, and Cult of Luna will feel right at home while discovering something entirely unique.

With stunning cover art by Adam Burke and guest appearances from Luke Farndon (Drofnosura) and Rob McAllister (Centuries Of Decay), Incendiary Sanctum is both a sonic and visual triumph. Cam Mueller describes the album as “a eulogy burning away the very idea of worship,” exploring themes of loss, memory, and humanity’s fleeting existence.

🎶 Don’t miss this bold exploration of extremity and emotion. Pre-order now and prepare for an unforgettable experience on May 2nd!
