VEXATION Journey Beyond Mortality (2019) Digipak CD

Death metal has always been obsessed with what comes after. Vexation just happen to be more convincing about it than most.

Journey Beyond Mortality is a 2019 full-length from this Australian death metal outfit, and it earns the Death and Possessed comparisons in the recommended section, drawing on that classic lineage of technical riffing and genuine darkness without turning into a nostalgia exercise. There's a sense of forward momentum here, the kind of record that sits comfortably in a collection alongside Revocation's more aggressive material but still sounds distinctly like it came from the Australian underground. Digipak format, which is the correct format for a record this serious about what it's doing.

CD, digipak format. Full-length album. Released 2019. Australian artist.
