Reverence to Paroxysm were founded between 2018 and 2020 around Antimo Buonanno (ex-Disgorge, Hacavitz, Profanator) and Óscar Clorio (Cenotaph, ex-Shub Niggurath), two veterans of the Mexican death metal underground scene that have been active more or less since its inception. While the latter has since left the band, Reverence to Paroxysm remains as strong as ever, having released a Split with the Spanish Pestilength in 2020, a live album in 2022 and, in 2023, their debut album "Lux Morte" via Me Saco Un Ojo and Dark Descent Records. Their sound reminds of early, raw Swedish and Finnish death/doom bands like Eternal Darkness, Moondark or Rippikoulu, with an absurdly bass-heavy sound that almost reaches Mortician territories of deep rumbling, and occasional almost clean leads over extremely distorted sparse soundscapes that call into mind Disembowelment.
