Strigoi’s debut album was already plenty unsettling, but the band’s follow-up pushed their grinding asphyxiations to such extremes, that it produced an abundance of putridity.
‘Bathed in A Black Sun’ includes four unreleased and exclusive songs from ‘Viscera’ recording sessions, which were mixed and mastered by Kurt Ballou and Brad Boatright. "The Grotesque" and "A Spear of Perfect Grief" are taken from 7 inches that were included with special edition vinyl of 'Viscera'. "The Construct of Misery” comes from a Decibel Magazine Flexi Disc, while the title track is pure unadulterated filth, slimed with sludge riffs and a crusty drum groove.
This EP proves that Strigoi can mold nasty blackened death doom from anything – even their own remains.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
