Preorder item, release October 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWharflurch left the death metal world hanging at the end of 2021's Psychedelic Realms ov Hell, with the protagonist of the first album being lost in a fungal haze of disillusionment at the album's conclusion. They return with the sequel to the epic psychedelic saga, Mycodeath and Rebirth in the Outer Clusters, another concept album continuing the story, placing our \"hero\" at the precipice of an incredible journey to the furthest regions of our universe, where the ubiquitous Mycolords reveal the true plan for their experimentation on Planet Earth, how indeed this is a universe-wide phenomena, and how he fits into their grand scheme.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLurch-lords John Mamo and Myk Colby fashioned the storyline, musical journey, and lyrical concept to complete their vision of a universe that is secretly ruled by puppet-master mushroom entities, who covertly inoculate virile planets with their own spore-kind to foster sentient life as they see fit: a true sci-fi epic of world-building and conceptualization that places the listener at a vantage point to interpret interplanetary life as ventures of this secret race of mycelial beings who control the life force of galaxies with a hidden hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFraught with frustration and peril, this recording (which began in very late 2021) is finally being unleashed upon the wary world, but is yet poised to display the innovation and progression of the Wharflurch sound: dismal doom-death with flashes of ignorance and brilliance interspersed within the cornucopia of riffs and textures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInfluences are only seen as guideposts, not references, and as such summon the madness of such unsung greats like Timeghoul and Demilich - only breathing in the conceptual insanity, and exhaling a truly Flurch-y result. Musically, the journey of this album volleys between chunky \/ catchy \/ plodding and tricky \/ obtuse \/ beautiful, with the trademark synth flourishes that add a cosmic touch to the proceedings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVocal duties are shared between Mamo and Myk, with guest appearances by Garrett Alvarado (frontman extraordinaire from Midwest death-dealers Maul) on vocals as the voice of the \"Sporelords,\" and Jamie Stewart (throat shredder for The Abscence, Party Time, and Hot Graves) doing narratives and guest vocals on quite a few songs. Thus, the narrative takes on a new dimension, with different voices playing different parts to this uncanny story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe conceptual artwork was rendered by none other than Claw\/\/Eight, the morbid pensmith responsible for many of Wharflurch's visual offerings over the years, who indeed has even been in the van on tour with the band, which earns him honorary membership as the band’s Visionary. His artistic depictions of psychedelic fright and transformation are absolutely intrinsic to the concept and realization of this album's continuation of the story. Mycodeath and Rebirth in the Outer Clusters is an odyssey for the adventurous listener: a deathly riff journey into the outer cosmos, where our destiny has been foretold by beings who treat our planet as a failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLtd. 200x Opaque pink, purple, and white vinyl with insert\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDawnbreed \/ Gurgling Gore \/ Personal Records 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uZi_351jKMs?si=N3e9n2psmM66gbaV\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dawnbreed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54613663580433,"sku":null,"price":349.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/3914\/1044\/files\/wharflurchmycodeath.jpg?v=1789017738","url":"https:\/\/rekviem.no\/en-us\/products\/wharflurch-mycodeath-and-rebirth-in-the-outer-clusters-lp-pink-buffalo-preorder","provider":"Rekviem","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
