IFRIT Haunting Charnel Grounds CD EP 2024

New Zealand's death metal underground doesn't get nearly enough attention from this side of the Tasman, and Ifrit are exactly the kind of band that should change that.

Haunting Charnel Grounds arrives in 2024 with the kind of purposeful grimness that signals a band who knows exactly what they're doing. The title alone earns it a place in any serious dark aesthetic collection, charnel grounds being the sacred, death-soaked spaces that show up in tantric and Vajrayana traditions, places where corpses were left and practitioners meditated on impermanence. Ifrit aren't being theatrical for the sake of it. This is death metal with genuine weight behind it, the kind of release you want on CD specifically because the format deserves it.
