Totengott

Totengott is formed by three experienced musicians proceeding from metal, rock and hardcore bands from Asturias (Spain) with the aim to release the darkest songs that they are able to write and to claim the importance of evil and morbidity of compositions above technique, as well as rawness above demonstration. Being a difficult band to be “tagged”, Totengott can be introduced as an occult metal trio with doom/death influences but without leaving other genres aside such as thrash, gothic or ambient.

“Beyond the veil”, their third and new album, takes the best elements and lessons learnt from their first two albums and push them to
the limit. The record is more ambitious, darker and heavier. More extreme but also more melodic than its predecessors. Seven songs in about 45 minutes of music in which the band embraces the unknown and blends low end guitars with epic orchestrations, death-
thrash whiplash songs that would dazzle old school metal listeners with multi layered choir vocals, takes risks and explores dark wave,
ambient, ethnic and even classical genres. Mixed by Javier Felez (Balmog, Altarage, Crisix, Foscor, Avulsed,
Hitten...) and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Solstafir, Paradise Lost, Cathedral, Ghost, Ulver, Opeth, Mayhem...). The epic
artwork by Khaos Diktator Design (Saor, Spectrum Mortis, Gaerea, Lychgate...) is just the top of the cake of a genre-defying album
that is called to take Totengott to a whole new level.
