Crushing, deep and punishing Doom from Portugal! An ambitious and dense record for fans of Godflesh, Neurosis and (early) Swans. Mixed by Andrew Schneider, mastered by Collin Jordan.
Having perfected their distinctive and inimitable musical expression along a path that spans their 15-year long career, PROCESSOFGUILT are today one of the main driving forces on the Portuguese underground. Delivering massively heavy riffs on top of a punishingly precise, quasi-industrial, rhythm section, the band possesses a unique intensity that attracts listeners from a broad spectrum of music genres.
Vastly experienced when it comes to playing live – having even shared the stage with bands like Godflesh, Cult of Luna or Napalm Death and a spot at the 2013 edition of Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, where they played to a full and enthusiastic crowd at the legendary Green Room – their performances are pure displays of ferocity that leave no one indifferent. Recently, this ferocity earned them main stage privileges in such renowed festivals as Amplifest, Reverence Valada or VOA.
In 2017, after three successful albums («Renounce», 2006; «Erosion», 2009; «Fæmin», 2012) and three cooperations
with other artists ( 10’ split w/ Caïna, 2007; «The Circle», 2010; 12’ split w/ Rorcal, 2014) with the release of Black Earth, PROCESSOFGUILT reafirm their musical vision as one of no paralell in the Portuguese and European underground.

Collin Jordan at The Boiler Room, Chicago.

one of the best death doom bands so far. great melodies with great atmospheres. mostly slow, heavy and doomy but sometimes there are these groovy double-bass drum moments wich are pretty fucking cool. if you like death doom and melodic atmospheric black metal, this is for you. Sælzer Bub

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
A fantastic debut showing from Baltimore metal band Born of Plagues, uniting post-metal's expansive textures with sludge's almighty muck. Bandcamp New & Notable May 19, 2021
More cathartic, atmospheric heaviness from the German doom metallers, balancing no-nonsense hooks with proggy flourishes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 14, 2023
