Vltimas is a death metal supergroup consisting of three legends in their own right: the ultimate death metal voice of David Vincent (I Am Morbid, ex-Morbid Angel) joined forces with guitarist Rune ‘Blasphemer’ Eriksen (Aura Noir, ex-Ava Inferi, ex-Mayhem) and human octopus Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy). Their full-length debut ‘Something Wicked Marches in’ can stand right alongside Morbid Angel’s ‘Blessed Are the Sick’ and ‘Altars of Madness’ in terms of quality and relevance. The musicianship on this record is of course undisputed, but that is not why ‘Something Wicked’ stands out. Although this is their first outing, Vltimas sound like a band that has played together for years. With so much assembled talent in one band such an accomplishment requires a level of selflessness rarely seen in a supergroup. As a result, each member has ample opportunity to shine. Their second album is scheduled to drop before the summer of 2024 so look out for new cuts!(#GMM24)
