Details:
Tholus âConstantâ is a modern aggressive technical Death Metal album reminiscent of the Death and Carcass era. Among standard death metal ingredients, Tholus enhance their sound with eerily thick harmonies, Jaco Pastoriousâesque bass solos, gravity crushing vocals, throat singing and rhythmic ingenuity unsaturated by the default of todays endless blast beats.

Members include Ex-Estradasphere drummer Dave Murray, Mirthkon/Flying Luttenbachers guitarist â Wally Scharold and Rob Pumpelley and a host of other session players from the Bay Area. Included in this list is Author/ Speaker Richard C Hoagland (Monuments of Mars, CBS, Angstrom Medal Recipient) who gave the band full rights to his material.


Verily reaching around the glints of Carcass, Death, Frank Zappa and Cannibal Corpse - âConstantâ unleashes something half alien that is both refreshingly progressive and memorable.

"Tholus, negates within one song every death metal album released since Necrophagistâs last."
-Lamentations of the Flame Princess (OCtT 2006)

A very good compromise between the cerebral aspect and that of défoulement pure and simple

"The galloping drum fills and freaky bass/guitar licks are challenging each other constantly - comparison to the legendary Cynic is merely logical."
