An Early Stream of “Cascade” from JADE / SANCTUARIUM ‘The Sempiternal Wound’ Split LP (2024)

Today we have the privilege of sharing an early stream of “Cascade” the latest preview song taken from ‘The Sempiternal Wound‘, a split album from two exceptional Catalonia-based death metal groups in a classic yet atmospheric style starting with ever-transformative JADE and equally doomed pull of SANCTUARIUM, both of whom represent new standard for doomed-over, slow-burning yet aggressive death metal. “Cascade” from Jade is rightfully set as a centerpiece here, an exceptionally infectious melodic death/doom metal song which reaches for its yearning hook right away and builds unearthly storm around it. While this feels like something entirely new from the band at the outset you’ll find their sound and signature survives as the piece burns on, offering another dimension to their already brilliant development thus far. With each band offering roughly ~19 minutes for their side of this split album expect this level of quality atmospheric death on offer as these two exceptional acts bring their best and newest work to the table.

Thanks goes out to JADE, SANCTUARIUM, Pulverised Records and their representation for the opportunity to share this song early.

JADE / SANCTUARIUM – “The Sempiternal Wound”
Label: Pulverised Records
Release date: 13.09.2024
Formats: CD / LP

The perturbance between two macabre Death/Doom masters is now unified as one on this gloriously funereal “The Sempiternal Wound” split release.

From the unsettling but grandoise track opener of JADE to the rotten mid-paced deathbeat of SANCTUARIUM on the split EP closer, “The Sempiternal Wound” speaks of the impeccable cycle of Life and Death; while inevitable and serves as a stark reminder of the pain throughout the lifespan of mankind. Total nihilism is evident here with both JADE and SANCTUARIUM also clearly sharpening their crafts even further; displaying an almost cinematic vibe on their pummeling sections transitioning to slow, crawling passages.

With JADE side recorded and mixed by Javi Félez at Moontower Studios and SANCTUARIUM side recorded and mixed by Marc ‘Nercohelm’ at Necrohelm Studios and overall mastering at Moontower Studios (Deströyer 666, Ataraxy, Teitanblood, etc), cover artwork by Macedonian artist Mors Ultima Ratio Art (Sarvekas, SkyThala, Code, etc). Tape edition to be released under Iron Fortress Records.

Both JADE and SANCTUARIUM are based in the Barcelona’s surroundings area and also sharing members during a short period of time.
Marc “Necrohelm” from SANCTUARIUM recorded the drums for JADE’s debut album “The Pacification Of Death”.
“The Sempiternal Wound” a metaphor of the eternal cycle of decay that Life means from different cultures’ point of view, and how death’s veneration may serve overcoming its calamities. Referring to a wound impossible to heal from the very first moment of existence to the last sigh and a constant dreadful transition from the earthly level to the unknown.
