As 20 Buck Spin prepares for next week’s release of Planetary Clairvoyance, the devastating third full-length from Toronto, Ontario’s TOMB MOLD, the title track “Planetary Clairvoyance (They Grow Inside Pt. 2)” has been issued. The album, already being heralded as one of the most critically acclaimed death metal releases of the year, Planetary Clairvoyance will strike amidst TOMB MOLD‘s East Coast tour with labelmates Superstition, which begins this Thursday.
With the explosive weight of a collapsing black hole TOMB MOLD accelerates unhinged toward infinite resurrection on Planetary Clairvoyance. As with their praised second LP, Manor Of Infinite Forms, the Planetary Clairvoyance album was tracked by Sean Pearson at Box Car Studios in Toronto and then mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Volahn, Scorched). The amalgamation of the huge sound of the prior album and the gritty particle chaos of their Primordial Malignity debut come into boundless unity on Planetary Clairvoyance. The record is completed with cover art by Jesse Jacobi with additional artwork by Lucas Korte.

Planetary Clairvoyance will see release next Friday, July 19th on digital, CD, cassette, and LP formats. The first vinyl pressing is packaged with a bonus gatefold insert with additional artwork.

Recklessly devouring the world into a vortex of alternate dimensional planes with Manor Of Infinite Forms, TOMB MOLD has crashed through boundaries with the impact of an ocean sized asteroid. Somewhere between outer space, inner space, and the unseen dark matter in between all space they’ve devised an alchemical formula both crushingly oppressive and rapidly expanding outward in every direction.
Waking from stasis for the third time in three years, new record Planetary Clairvoyance is the sum of knowledge gained and aeons absorbed, concentrated into a single massive tome of arcane wisdom and implausible physics. Like the album’s cover art, it exists in a domain of alien anatomical abnormality, malign flora and cold void desolation, warping and deforming the familiar into unknown obscurity.
