| 4.5 superb | Brandon Scott EMERITUS | October 7th 21 |
Following up Mystical Extraction, Gonemage is back again with another boundary-breaking
blackened 8-bit garage emo record, Sudden Deluge. Featuring a smattering of other like-
minded forward-thinking black metal adjacent artists (Abysmal Specter of Old Nick, 8-bit/black
metal curator Winterquilt, & chiptune wunderkind Lunar Cult among MANY others), Sudden
Deluge continues Galimgim's (Garry Brents) ambitious inclinations to never rest on his
laurels, culminating in an album with many moving parts that somehow all fit together perfectly.
With a more pronounced garage rock and pop influence this time around, what Sudden Deluge
loses in the kitschy side-scroller charm of Mystical Extraction it makes up for in more
immediate melodies, and more attitude. Video game fans be not afraid however; there is still
plenty of Castlevania-inspired synthwork to please your average Belmont-stan. There is not enough
room here to adequately describe all of what makes Sudden Deluge such an amazing listen,
but you can pre-order the album and now and find out for yourself Nov. 19th.

loved the first album but this is absolutely a fun time. I think this took all the best/memorable bits of the Phase Out LP and made it better

The quirkiest insane electro-metal this side of Igorrr.

Something truly unique, that has something to offer for just about every subset of metal fandom. Hints of Wrath and Rapture, of Substructure, of Obliteration; The list could go on. This release has reinvigorated a long hibernating passion in me for both chiptune and blackened death.

I dig the uniqueness of this release, but I am not sure this is something I would revisit more than a few times.
