Canis Dirus - By The Grace of Death LP

It has been 4 years since the release of Independence to the Beast (2020) and during this time, Canis Dirus have been refining their savage, yet atmospheric black metal during what has been the most prolific era of their career. 2021 found the split release "A Harmonious Union of Vibration" to surface with the project Crown of Asteria, where Canis Dirus contributed 2 new tracks that blended their own unique form of twisted blackness, along with an ambient influence. Was this a sign of things to come?

Armed with the fantastic drum work of CJ Yacoub (Vulning, ex-Amun), TMP (Guitars, bass, Synth) and RH (Vocals) have been hard at work on what has become the the bands finest work, By the Grace of Death. Atmosphere still reigns in the dark sonic sphere of Canis Dirus, but on this new album, the bands black metal essence is at the forefront of the nocturnal hunt. TMP’s riff/playing style remains truly his own with atypical phrasing that co-exists with a more orthodox BM style. The BM side can make one feel isolated and attacked one moment, then calm and nurtured the next with colorful folk music that has become a vibrant element of CD’s sound. RH’s vocals contribute to the adventurous nature of By The Grace of Death with his most feral performance to date
