  I think this might be my favorite new metal release from last week.

  Vexitum is yet another one-man band, this one based out of Italy. I have not listened to any of his previous works, but this one definitely falls into the "cosmic" end of the death metal realm.

  It's a sub-sub-genre I really enjoy, and I am additionally biased by the album cover art that reminds me of the 1980s HP Lovecraft paperbacks from Del Rey. But this album is just really good! It's cavernous and sludgy and heavy, but there is a lot going on underneath all of that; I have listened to it a few times now, and I find new things to appreciate about it every time.
