Although forming in 2014 and having one demo prior to this, they’re debut album. The trio of TRIUMVIR FOUL number two members of the celebrated cult Ash Borer – namely, drummer Cendentibus and vocalist/guitarist Ad Infinitum. But while TRIUMVIR FOUL likewise aim for an engrossing experience, that’s where the similarities between the two bands end: Triumvir Foul is an unrelentingly dense, filthy expanse of morbid Metal of Death bestiality, base and belligerent at the core and yet plumbing depths of the psyche that otherwise betray such a seemingly simple, on-the-surface assault.
To paraphrase the band themselves, TRIUMVIR FOUL is a vessel for hedonism, corruption, and cabalisticism, the embodiment of one’s depravity and weakness expressed through worship of the three serpents. As an entity of spiraling spiritual violence, TRIUMVIR FOUL abides by the principles of disgust, hatred, and anxiety as strict tenets of the Vrasubatlat philosophy:
The corruption of flesh and spirit
Decorate my mind with depravity
Leave me squirming for all to see
Within the tomb of God’s placenta
And walls drenched in my foul emanations
Emanations of lust and decay
Hail Vrasubatlat!
Vessel and listener shall become One and then None when the sonic coils of Triumvir Foul are unloosed. Reckoning shall come, placed upon your feet by the trinity of TRIUMVIR FOUL: prepare, and abide.
