OCEAN OF ZERO Where Sickness Prevails (2012) CD

Australian death metal doesn't ask for your approval, and Ocean of Zero never did either. Where Sickness Prevails is a full-length slab of brutality out of the local underground, the kind of record that exists because some people genuinely need to play this loud and mean.

Released in 2012, this is death metal with its boots planted firmly in the classic tradition, dense riffing, guttural punishment, the whole deal. The kind of release that circulates through tape traders and underground distros and almost never gets a second pressing, so when a copy surfaces you grab it. ALT CVLT stocks it because the Australian extreme metal scene deserves shelf space, not just a Bandcamp link.

CD, standard jewel case. Australian release. Limited availability.
