"A process of home/self-recording—plus drum sounds captured by Andy Patterson—has resulted in massive tumults of undulating sludge; riffs like those of 'New Verse Inferno' or the lurching 'The Standard' constructed for largesse and atmospheric impact alike, while the title-track’s blistering noise and the alternately frenetic and crushing finale 'A Terror to the Adversary' make their statement in ambience and abrasion. Noise, noise, noise. Pummel, pummel, pummel. There’s no denying the vicious nature of the offering itself—Regret Beyond Death is brutal in style and theme and not intended to be otherwise—but as Edge notes in the interview below it was originally executed as a potential sequel to Lumbar‘s 2013 outing, The First and Last Days of Unwelcome, one can hear in cuts like 'The Irony' some similar flourish of melody peaking through in the guitar, through even that seems to have been twisted in service to the skin-peeling assault of the finished product of Bible Black Tyrant‘s debut. Debut and maybe swansong? I ask Edge directly in the discussion that follows whether Bible Black Tyrant is a one-and-done showcase or a continuing band, and you’ll find his answer amid the back and forth about how the group came together, how the album was recorded, his day-to-day health status after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2013, and more."
