If you slept on them because of the genre tag, that's your loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 2001 they'd been through lineup chaos, Steve Rowe's near-fatal blood disease, and over a decade of relentless recording and touring. \u003cem\u003eThe Silver Cord Is Severed\u003c\/em\u003e came out of that crucible as a grinding, punishing record that sits comfortably in Australian death and thrash metal history regardless of what it says on the lyric sheet. This is extreme metal made locally, by people who had been through actual adversity, and it sounds like it. Australian made, and worth knowing about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD, 2001 Australian pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of: Crimson Moonlight, Living Sacrifice, Deuteronomium, Renascent\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALT CVLT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45550312423615,"sku":"0026297607821","price":24.66,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/3633\/0175\/files\/original_9878300a-c8bd-4cc5-b147-c8865e88c8d2.jpg?v=1777075252","url":"https:\/\/www.alt-cvlt.com.au\/products\/mortification-the-silver-cord-is-severed-2001-cd","provider":"ALT CVLT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
