What do you get when you put Demilich, At The Gates? first album/EP and Nocturnus into a blender to transform them into a hulking, abominable monster that makes the major sciences weep and wonder why you created something that defies them so? Well? this. Indeed, this seems to be the only thing that can come close to an auditory form of Cthulhu. The full length debut for this doom/avant-garde metal act, serves up both originality, and integrity and is seen as a classic album.Phlebotomized started out as a grindcore-ish Death Metal band, releasing their early demos sounding like this. Somewhere along the line, the band decided to change their style, as 'Immense, Intense, Suspense' values melodies, and symphonic passages. This did not take away from the evil, depressing mood that swims through the music. This takes what Demilich wrote on ?Nespithe? and builds on it. They take what Nocturnus wrote on ?The Key?, and add their own little twist. It?s got the twisting and amorphous song structures of ?The Red in the Sky is Our?s?, and then some. They create the atmosphere Portal merely dreams of creating. The first thing one will notice hovering above the pounding guitar riffs, is the violin and keyboard passages that serve as the rhythm section. Melancholic, yet brutal, the songs present a story, with lyrics wrapped around the theme of religion. The music does not really have one true form. You hear mixtures of clean, and growl vocals, as well as the occasional clean vocal passage.
