VILE RITES: Senescence Vinyl LP (Laguna Blue)

San Francisco has always had a habit of mutating metal into something weirder and more alive than it was before. Vile Rites are doing exactly that.

Senescence is the debut full-length from these Bay Area psychonauts, sitting at the intersection of psych death and technical death metal in a way that feels genuinely unhinged rather than just theoretically complex. The kind of record that rewards close listening and punishes background noise, all labyrinthine riffwork and lysergic atmosphere dragged through the gutter. If you're into the San Francisco underground's tradition of taking extreme music somewhere genuinely strange, this belongs in your collection. Pressed on Laguna Blue vinyl because grey wax was too normal for this one.
