Taken From Selected Reviews of ‘Ephemerality’ Album

Doom-Metal.com review May 2016

“Big, heavy and full in your face Death/Doom at its mightiest….. They are not afraid to expand on melodies, mood and structures…..Superb and mournful.”

Kill Chain webzine review July 2015

“Lords of crushingly brutal death/doom…..Consecration approach their craft with dedication and passion. Each growl, each chord, each beat is where it needs to be.”

“Consecration harken back to a time where bands stood out for being different, for writing songs that stuck in your head....Gracefully combining the brutality of early 90s death metal and the slow, effortless heaviness of doom…..This is primal music, and you will be all the richer for hearing it.”

This Noise Is Ours webzine review May 2015

“This record really has to be heard to be believed….. Despite the obvious extremity on this record, Consecration delivers it with a subtlety not often used in extreme metal. Their song-writing and musicianship are top-notch and they prove that the UK still has cause for celebration when it comes to doom/death.”

Get Your Rock Out webzine review May 2015

“Sounds absolutely monolithic….. The mournful, whining guitar lines are genuinely hair-raising at points. It sounds dark,sepulchral and ferocious all at once…. the vocals are tar-like, low and delivered with passion….. This stands head and shoulders above the vast majority of music by other underground Death/Doom acts.”

Northern Darkness Magazine Review – Issue #4February 2015

“You will find yourself thunder-struck almost immediately….. What a full length it is, 72 minutes of ominous, oppressive and bleak moods, crushing riff-age and grim, venomous growls.”

“This is an epic album in terms of length as well as atmosphere….. After repeated listens I reckon this one will have truly gotten under your skin.”

Toilet Ov Hell webzine review December 2014

“There’s a monstrous sound to the album that ’stopped off with some seriously gut-wrenching vocals, the kind that make you want to grab a stranger by the shoulders and just scream “DEATH METAAAAAAAL!!!”into his poor, poser face.”

UKEM Blogspot review December 2014

“This is one heavy ride…. The more you play it, the more you notice; every song stands on its own…. This is going to be a very difficult album to beat for future releases.”

Doomed To Darkness webzine review September 2014

“They bring in a very dark and evil atmosphere to their heavy sound…. Consecration are a very great sounding mixture of doom and death metal.”

Taken From Selected Reviews of ‘Gut The Priest’ EP

Zero Tolerance Magazine #39 review February 2011

“This is a band on the verge of hitting the nail very firmly on the head….. Their next album could be something very special.”

Doom Metal.com review February 2011

“This is a good, promising first effort from a band that should delight anyone longing for a revival of this kind of sound.”

Destructive Music webzine review February 2011

“I’m not sure exactly where the squalid hellhole was that Consecration put together this satanic piece of work but I’m sure as hell glad they did.”

Con-se-cra-tion: verb transitive. Make or declare sacred (to); Dedicate formally to religious purpose;

Devote to; a solemn commitment of your life or your time to some cherished purpose (to a service or a goal).

Do not be fooled by the name, Consecration are anything but sanctifying
