In my opinion, there is a debate about what melodic death metal actually is. It can range from new at the gates (slaughter of the soul) albums to the old at the gates albums (red in the sky). Both can be argued to be melodic death metal. Howver, this Ensnared album takes the ideas for The Red in the Sky and turns the dial to 11. Dysangelium has all the melodic riffs you want, but it's so fucking dirty and aggressive all you want to do is dab with the album cover.
Favorite track: Gale of Maskim.

Ensnared's debut album mix perfectly the buzzsaw guitar sound of the Sweden Death Metal scene with elements of Black Metal, providing the fans one of the most interesting listening of recent years. I hear a very respectful tribute to the mighty Dissection.

INVICTUS PRODUCTIONS, in conspiracy with DARK DESCENT RECORDS, is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Sweden's ENSNARED, Dysangelium. A work of careful, continual evolution, ENSNARED's Dysangelium is the fiery, fearless fruit born of conflict and strife, the descent into one's self and ascent into the Beyond - beyond possibility, beyond doubt, beyond boundary.
As with all things born that are destined to die, ENSNARED has slithered and slavered, hungered and hated, corrupting those waves of air most precious to the ones with ears to hear, ever worsewards since that momentous year of 2010. Rehearsing, rearranging, and recognizing the infinite possibilities of failure, its firstborn tore its way out of its cunt and saw the greyness of the Swedish sky in 2011. As a demo, as the opening statement of intent and disorient, it bore the eponymous title of Ensnared.
The sum of its parts exchanged on numerous accounts, withdrawing withershins with wanton wounds: reorganizing, reconstructing, and returning to spew forth a second scorn in 2013, once again by the radiance of Nuclear Winter Records, it bore the title Ravenous Damnation's Dawn. Wrought in somber soundscapes, the toil of its tilling bore fruit and bore calamity to calmness and an end to silence: ENSNARED killed, crafted, and descended to Hell’s Pleasure in 2014.
As with all things dying that are destined to live, ENSNARED has toiled and trodden on paths worn down by those before. Ever failing, ever finding new futility in the opulence of expression, but by the virtue of perseverance did the dysangelical take its form and was moulded in its fathomless form. It now bears the title Dysangelium, wreaking purulence in hearts perverse, as a full-length display of magicks harnessed and discarded.
Verily ENSNARED in its immediate sonic sensation(s) yet very much its own rancourous, cantankerous creation stripped of precedent, Dysangelium is an electric plunge into cryogenic labyrinths perversely coursing with molten lava. It is these very contrasts with which the band work their zealous magick, creating discordance in accordance with an iron will, gleefully given to slipstreaming mischief and malevolence alike. Death metal undeniably forms its foundation, ancient as it ever was, but bearing no tangible geography nor chronology; the genre's continuum is a straight line, and ENSNARED's path across Dysangelium zig-zags both above and below that line.
Where most bands take multiple records - if any at all, before inertia sets in for good - ENSNARED have already made their bolder/boldest strides forward (and maybe backward, twisting time to their own design) with the treacherous terrain of their debut album. Void terra firma and enter the void of Dysangelium...

This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
