Hailing from Prague, SNET formed in the beginning of 2018 with a specific aim: rotten and crushing DEATH METAL in the vein of bands like Undergang, Funebrarum, Autopsy, and Carcass, but adding their own view to the style. Imperative to the five members of SNET is placing equal emphasis on the punkish parts and crushing ones, with the sick melodies of doom-death swept across the whole thing. Mokvání V Okovech is everything a first SNET full-length should be: utterly CRUSHING, grimy 'n' ghastly DEATH METAL of a most mandatory order. Drenched in absolutely head-caving production, each tendril of sickness and slime enwrap the listener and refuse to relent. The deft shifts between mid-tempo lurch and up-tempo gallop lend an aspect that's catchy as it is hypnotic, with dread-inducing melodies often bubbling up from the primordial muck. Likewise, when the doom hits, it hits HARD, pushing that listener deeper into the abyss and inspiring nightmares anew. Graced with hauntingly psychedelic cover art courtesy of Tomáš Mitura, perfectly matching form with content, SNET deliver one of the year's deadliest death metal debut albums with Mokvání V Okovech!
