Vastum is an American death metal band that has built a reputation for their unrelenting and visceral sound, characterized by its brutal intensity and dark thematic content. Formed in 2009 in San Francisco, California, Vastum is a musical venture that digs deep into the disturbing and the taboo, often exploring themes of psychosexuality and the macabre within their lyricism. Their craft is an amalgamation of dense, crushing riffs, doom-laden grooves, and an atmosphere that envelops the listener in a cocoon of existential dread.
Since their inception, Vastum has consistently delivered a raw and primitive form of death metal that harkens back to the genre's origins while also infusing it with their unique, esoteric signature. Albums like "Patricidal Lust" and "Hole Below" showcase their capability to couple morbid, intricate narratives with uncompromisingly heavy music. The re-master of their 2011 debut "Carnal Law" in 2017 reaffirmed their presence in the underground metal scene, appealing to both purists and those who favor the avant-garde side of extreme music. With recent efforts such as "Orificial Purge" and tracks like "Inward to Gethsemane," Vastum continues to push boundaries, solidifying their stance as one of the most formidable and thought-provoking acts in contemporary death metal.
