On Catastrophic Reconfiguration, this IL death metal outfit coughs up spores from mycetozoic muck, Molder exhume ten tracks from very recent, very shallow burials in a graveyard that™s been filled to the brim for thirty years. It™s not slick but slicked, damn near dripping with plasmodial ooze that obliviously recycles its carbon with a charmingly contented stupidity.

If Molder™s sophomore album, Engrossed in Decay was obsessed with decomposition, Catastrophic Reconfiguration, the Joliet, IL Death Metal outfit™s new album, won't have you questioning its content. Band vocalist and guitarist Aaren Pantke leads the group™s resuscitation into 2024 with a reinvigorated approach to writing, recording and playing live, paving the way for the album™s release on November 8th.
