Arrogant Bastard
If anyone ever asks you, "where can the metal genre possibly go from here?". Point them to Estuarine.
This esoteric snarl of avant-garde metal disgusts and enthralls with almost incomprehensible song structures and a guitar tone probably labeled "industrial grinder".
Enjoy the Dissonance Favorite track: The Pain Never Dulls.
Metallurgical Fire
Worth a purchase on the strength of Reduced to Prey alone, Wisdom of Silenus is a much leaner effort than Estuarine is known for. However, this concise delivery does not disappoint. A very solid EP.
Favorite track: Reduced to Prey.
A limited edition piece of Estuarine history! On this disk you will get not only the entire Wisdom of Silenus EP, which features 5 brand new songs totaling 18 minutes of infectious avant garde tech grind, but also the ENTIRE instrumental mix of Estuarine's Sic Erat Scriptum album for an extra hour of instrumental progressive metal. In other words, I made sure to give you a disk filled to the brim so that you get your money's worth! Each copy comes in a durable clear jewel case with a four page booklet featuring lyrics, linear notes and extended artwork, comes with 3 vinyl stickers (featuring Sic Erat Scriptum cover art) and can be signed upon request (NOTE: signing will require me to remove shrink wrap). After this initial pressing of 100 CDs sells out it will NOT be reprinted. This is something that 100% exists as a thank you to all the fans that have been so supportive over the last few years, cheers to all of you! \m/
Side note: Massive props to Blank Media Printing for having these things well made and at my doorstep in less that a week of making the order, holy crap!!!!!

Totaling over 2 hours and 18 minutes of music, you get the 5 new songs off of Wisdom of Silenus and the entire Sic Erat Scriptum album in both it's original and instrumental forms.

Your inherent lack of forethought brought you here.. Redemption is Futile.. Is this what you live for? Pushing your tired body through a viscus maze. Trading trivia for portions of your soul. Giving up your lives to be sold. Shame; the declining state of man’s potential. Dulled by years of rapturous overload. An endless feed fueling the need for the frivolous. The damage that’s been done cannot be reversed. Is this your true purpose? Forcing your weary mind through the poison cloud. Further into realms of confusion. Pushed beyond the threshold of return. Stupidity engulfs us like quicksand. Does this grant you freedom? From that which ails you or does it enslave you? Further down the rabbit hole you fall as memories of light fade into subconscious. Shame; the declining state of man’s potential. Dulled by years of rapturous overload. The worth of sheep boils down to wool and meat and we have been harvested to bone…
Under the guise of medication. They merchandise intoxication. To entrust the public with their own anesthetics? Or to enslave, rally and control the masses.. Pharmaceutical terrorism. Mass attack upon the minds of man. Yet the pain never dulls. In fact it grows worse with each prescription. Pharmaceutical terrorism…
Foul breath of the beast. It’s lumbering presence before me. I watch it’s mouth drop agape. Accepting this fate of consumption as mine. Feeling the dissolve of layers. Stripping perception to its core. Time’s jaw gnaws on at its own leisure. Breaking down all from flesh to stone. Such sad pathetic morsels. Endlessly spawned and reproduced. Each craving a purpose. Groomed until mature. Then cast upon the platter of tar. Stagnant sleeves reduced to prey think to manipulate their nature. So far have we begun to wander. Finding homes only in exile till time decides to take us whole…
about
The first EP by experimental blackened deathgrind band Estuarine. Eighteen minutes of sludgy atmospheric grinding. Downloads are free but donations are greatly appreciated and if you really want to help the band out SHARE THIS MUSIC!!!!
This recording is dedicated to the memory of my fallen allies, Satorn of Torched Ebony Skies, and Lord Tartarus of Imperial Conquest. Listen to their music.
8.7 out of 10 "Wisdom Of Silenus is definitely among the best EP's you'll hear this year; and certainly one that stands out as a unique entity. Estuarine continues to impress me with highly eclectic music that has a distinct personality and engaging approach." FlightOfIcarus for Metal Trenches (metaltrenches.com/reviews/wisdom-of-silenus-2208)

"...here we have five tracks of atypical extremity, taking elements from black metal, grindcore, progressive metal, and sludge, and forging them into an overarching technical death metal framework... This is music that sounds like a caged whirlwind. A scathing, hyper-aggressive, and highly engaging new release from Estuarine."

Some of the best epic black metal ever and my personal favorite symphonic black metal band. Awesome free album waiting here for you, check them out \m/ Estuarine
In my opinion this is America's best black metal band, yet they remain criminally unknown to most. Definitely listen to this album from front to back at some point during your lifetime. Estuarine
Frantic blackened deathgrind from Texas! Some of the most extreme metal out there, featuring guest vocals from Hydrus of Estuarine. Fans of Anaal Nathrakh and Full of Hell will love this \m/ Estuarine

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
