Listening to Chalice of the Ages for the first time. I was expecting some chaotic riffing that would segue in to blast beats so thunderous they would exhume the dead. About half way through and I'm hearing slow to mid pace melodies that bring forth images of being trapped in a dark catacomb w/ the beckoning spirits of the underworld inviting me in for a cannibalistic feast. This may be the most calmest death metal I have ever laid ears on. Very relaxing. As soothing as a cup of Chai tea with a hint of cinnamon.
