Occultation - Three and Seven

2012 debut album from the Brooklyn-based Metal band. Formed in the late '00s, Occultation released the limited Somber Dawn EP in 2011, which showcased their bizarre brand of creepy and haunting Psych Horror Metal. But Occultation has morphed into a beast in it's own right. Along with weird and unearthly guitar play, the trio conjures ethereal and ghostly female vocals, dirge-like organ sounds, pulsating bass lines and ritualistic drum rhythms. The band takes it's cues from '70's Prog, '80's Dark Rock, classic Metal (most notably early Mercyful Fate and Death SS) and Cult horror soundtracks. Three & Seven is a haunting, creepy and unrelenting venture into a cathedral of sonic horror.
