Upstarts Molder crawl out of the boneyard with renewed vengeance on their sophomore full-length Engrossed in Decay. For the uninitiated, the Joliet, Illinois-based quartet parlay old-school death metal vibes”think Impetigo meets Asphyx”with an insatiable present-day hunger. Comprised of Aaren Pantke (vocals/guitar), Dominic Vaia (bass), Kyle Pooley (Drums) and newcomer Carlos Santini (guitar), Molder™s primary goal isn™t to score deference points but to keep deathly flames alive. This is tried and true death metal with a palpitating (possibly undead) Midwestern heart. Between bong hits, Braindead marathons, and sarcophagus juice shots, Molder step out of the dark and into the light with Engrossed in Decay.
