Upon hearing ‘Decrepit Flesh Relic’, the first album from Civerous, one was left with a feeling of intense suffocating weight and agonal prostration in the service of bone-breaking death hymns. With the towering new album, ‘Maze Envy’, LA’s most creatively destructive Death / Doom ensemble let loose a freshly evolved but no less brutal conflagration of immersive horror and morbid lamentation.
Where Death / Doom may often stay in safe and unadventerous realms of narrow focus, Maze Envy’ presents a more far-reaching breadth of ambition, where unusual technicality, progressive atmospheres, string flourishes and chaotic mysticism radiate a purple light of the soul’s ascension from the black oceans of dread Civerous inhabit. Chain-dragging dirge, blackened blasting, and the savage ferocity of Lord Foul’s hellish vocal exorcisms exalt ‘Mazy Envy’ with a hellish grandeur within its myriad paths to oblivion.
With a massively crushing sound, ‘Maze Envy’ is end times music for an age in which that reckoning feels unfathomably close. Civerous batter the senses into a state of labyrinthian turmoil from which emergence is ever more implausible.

Maybe one day I can afford a maze like that 😢
Can’t believe it’s taken this long for there to be a metal album about mazes (which are inherently metal as fuck)
Tea kettles and violins to set the mood
yes the music sounds exactly how the artwork looks
Driving in the pouring rain listening to this is a real treat. Thanks 20BS, for all the absolute heat! Love this band, love this label. ❤👍
Man, HOW does 20 Buck Spin keep finding these bands. Their roster now is fucking INSANE
This is probably the best metal album of the past 5 years in my opinion.
Damn, that's a nice maze. Wouldn't mind getting me a maze like that.
This, Sovereign and the new Skeletal Remains are hard to beat so far this year.
This is so good. I'm aMAZEd!
after i listened to this there was a pile of meat on the floor in front of my speakers, it started to take shape so i quickly ate it
Riffs got me torqued up like a missile
Fascinating listen. The violins add a dimension of lamentation and beauty. Best metal I've heard this year.
Early 2024 AOTY contender to my ears. Surprised the hell out of me.
OK, I've now completed my third listen of the album, and I have some notes.
-The dual vocals with Derek on Labyrinth Charm absolutely rip.
-2nd half of Levitation Tomb blew my mind. Probably my favorite part of the whole album.
-Maze Envy front to back is easily one of the best metal tracks I have heard in a half decade.
I can't believe how good this album is. It hits almost all of my tastes, it's baffling how it flows together so well. Truly, a "Watershed" album in metal. 😏
This is really good when youre peaking on a quarter of mushrooms
i love death metal that commits to a very specific album-wide feeling and/or loose conceptual vibe. this has that in spades. really freaking cool. special stuff.
never heard of these guys before. after a minute of listening to this I can safely say that I'm a fan now. this absolutely rips!!🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
To see a great cover and to hear a great band
20 Buck Spin comes through again!! So good!!
🤘🤘🤘This album is bad ass. 20 Buck Spin keeps 'em coming!
Well.. this album slaps! The perfect mix of psychedelic, cavernous, doomy death to pull me into the abyss. The production slays too.. I love the bass, especially on the title track.
20 Buck Spin literally puts out nothing but fire wtf!?
Proud of you boys. Album is fuckin killer🔥🔥Love from the Bionic Records crew 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
This absolutely slays ass. Well done gentlemen
I’m so envious of this maze!
Purple Reign. Mourning Beloveth on steroids. Friggin masterpiece.
16:28 has turned me into a gargoyle. I am now channeling fetid runoff through my body entire and belching it onto the streets below. Thanks Maze!
20BuckSpin is giving us bangers! preordered!!
The drummer is a STUD
Endless Symmetry feels so haunting. Both beautiful and inescapable.
I really wish that maze was mine...
disgustingly good!!
DAMN
Super underrated band, shit is nuts. These mfers got riffs
End of my first full listen: Very good blacken Death with a psyche side while remaining very groovy. I liked the atmospheres, the progressions, the rhythms, the dissonances, the volumes, the calms before the storm to breathe, a very warm sound like I love (death must burn damn!) the production and the mixing in general. I loved the trip, they took me by the hand and took me far away
. It is one of the most original and accomplished albums that I have heard this year.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this cake, very good job! Bravo. I recommend l,,/
Wow the Production is back to 99s
Listening to this band for the first time. Trying get my mind in order. This orders my thoughts. Love this.
twenty is my new favorite number!
What a closer!!!
Very awesome atmospheric, doom vibes. Loved it!
crushing tones!
This is an a-maze-ing album \m/\m/
Beasty 🍾

Tremendous! 🤘💀🤘
Just ordered the traditional black lp.

Holy fuck this is an experience
Needed this today 🙌

2024's AOTY is going to be hard to choose. So many bangers have already come out and it's only May 🤘🏼
Really innovative stuff, very serious aura

Great album 4/5. Geryon is the BEST track 🤘
Nice touch the strings. Amazing album!

I was listening to this while walking to go get some pho and I saw a mutilated cat.
