Today we have the privilege of sharing an early stream of “Unconscious Assimilation…Path To Tangible Reality” taken from ‘Merged in Abstract Perdition‘ the third full-length album from Loures, Portugal-based death metal band UNDERSAVE. Active since the mid-2000’s and increasingly abstracted towards dark, dissonant climes over the years today we find a new pinnacle within the band’s technical yet fluidic death metal riffcraft. I’ve nothing but praise for the band’s efforts to date, you can check out my full review of this slithering beast of an album for additional detail on their discography and the record itself. In terms of the song we are premiering today expect this to be the moment Undersave grant access to the sprawling, living maze of their work where ominous and circuitous lines are drawn within skull-gnawing movement ’til a hypnotic series of circular movements are revealed yet at no given point do we lose the feeling or impact of pure death metal.

Thanks goes out to Transcending Obscurity Records, Undersave and their representation for the opportunity to share this song early. Scroll down to the YouTube embed below to finalize your descent… As always, please do your best to support the worldwide death metal underground and grab a copy on CD, vinyl and digitally this coming October 10th, 2025.:

Per the Press Release:

Info – 

Unheralded death metal heroes from Portugal, Undersave, have been trying to carve their own path and every half a decade or so we get an album that is a huge step ahead from the previous one. And while their previous album is already considered to be a significant one, their new album displays a marked progression from it without completely abandoning the core sound. “Merged in Abstract Perdition” is a masterful album that is at once dark, dissonant, and atmospheric. Having developed such good songwriting skills, they don’t need to rely too much on abstractness or dissonance to get attention; while they navigate similar labyrinthine paths, they do so in an unhurried manner, allowing the riffs to create their own hypnotic crescendo. It is easy to get lost in their world swirling with mesmerizing, dissonant-edged riffs and that is probably the best way to listen to their music – to get immersed in it, just because there is so much in there to absorb. Even then, it will require multiple experiences for the arcane concepts to be fully grasped. Every song is a monolith, outwardly similar but each offering its own twisted interpretation without losing consistency. Undersave may have just come up with a masterpiece with this one, rivalling if not surpassing not only their own albums but also those by the other luminaries in the style.
