New Zealand trio Ulcerate's gorgeous, technically dead-on third album, The Destroyers of All, weaves epic post-metal into frantic atmospheric death squalls. Featuring one of the year's most compelling rhythm sections, it's a beautiful blizzard of sound that feels chaotic and supremely controlled. Ulcerate create death metal you can feel comfortable comparing to Deathspell Omega. Or, Isis-- at their best-- giving a go at the Portal song book. Or, a Chariots of Fire marathon during a hailstorm.
