Blood Spore kicks off the punishment with a lead-footed thud. Their verbosely-titled “Olfactory Cordycipitaceae Ingress” evokes images of one snorting fungi, with a big stank to accompany this dank imagery. Deliberately doomy drums drive the sullen atmosphere, as a crunchy bass line crawls from the depths. The guitars saunter in with a five-note motif, and vocalist Chris Emerson narrates this portrait of death with a grim shriek, a wise contrast to the guitar and drum s bountiful low-end presence.
