So what have we got here? A fucking great death metal band straight out of Sweden. They call themselves Desolator. I discovered this band in a Spotify suggestion of their EP Spawn of Misanthropy (released in 2016) I loved it at first, then while exploring their discography I listened to this album Sermon of Apathy (their second album) released in 2020 via Black Lion Records! in only two days I didn't stop listening again and again, it's a real killer! Old school Swedish death metal with a clean production. I'll let you discover this band by leaving you the Spotify link below.
