Entitled to Death

Entitled to Death is a stark departure from the electronic and IDM roots associated with the Larvae moniker, pivoting instead into a masterclass of atmospheric death metal. Released in 2023, the album consists of six tracks that bridge the gap between the cavernous 'Old School Death Metal' (OSDM) revival and the crushing weight of funeral doom. The production eschews modern digital polish in favor of a murky, analog-leaning sound that emphasizes the physical vibration of the instruments. Tracks like 'The Last of Living' showcase the artist's ability to maintain tension over long durations, using repetition and gradual dynamic shifts to create a sense of impending dread. Critically, the album has been noted for its ability to evoke a specific sense of place - specifically subterranean and decaying environments - making it a standout release for fans of the more atmospheric and doom-heavy end of the extreme metal spectrum.
