Stream Ulcerate’s gripping new metal masterpiece, ‘Stare Into Death And Be Still’

Since their debut album Of Fracture And Failure was released in 2007, New Zealand extreme metal band Ulcerate have been known for pushing the boundaries of metal itself. Ambitious and forward-thinking without ever being boring, their 2009 album Everything Is Fire could also be considered a metaphor for the band itself – in that everything the band touches is fire.

It goes without saying that the band’s newest work has been hotly anticipated for sometime, and while Stare Into Death And Be Still was supposed to release April 24th, not everything has gone according to plan for Ulcerate. Thanks (well, no thanks) to an unfortunate leak on the Internet, the band has moved forward with releasing a full album stream via Youtube to tide you over ahead of this Friday’s release. Stream it below and get enveloped into what is already one of 2020’s most important metal records. Blending death metal, post-metal, and apocalyptic themes, the album definitely fits the bill of what humanity is experiencing now.
