Bipedal herbivorous basal sauropodomorph
thriving during the Rhaetian age of the Triassic
socket-tooth lizard filling fissures
in the chalkstone quarries of Clifton
robust morph in the population
indicating secondary species unlikely
sexual dimorphism or autapomorphies
small size due to insular dwarfism
roots of its teeth not fused with the jaw bone
but positioned in separate receptacles
long basipterygoid process on the skull
medium-sized serrated leaf-shaped teeth
short dentary in relation to the lower jaw
ilium subquadrate instead of rounded
hands long, narrow, with extended claws
its tail much longer than neck and body
exact cladistic analyses not decisive
placed in its own Thecodontosauridae
ancestral to Massospondylus
preceding the prosauropod-sauropod split
misassigned species as separate genera
carnivorous phytosaurians and Agrosaurus
Scelidosauridae, Anchisauridae or synonyms
Thecodontosaurus antiquus the valid species
one of the first saurian remains discovered
and one of the oldest that existed
once labeled a member of the Squamata
now the very epitome of Dinosauria
Ground dwelling coelophysid theropod, small sized
its name given by Fraas, before elegant jaws
the tibia longer than the femur, habits cursorial
large clawed hands, stiff tail, good runner
Discovered in the quarry of the Stubensandstein
in white sandstone and blue marl sediments
The fossils of its ilk were mostly found the same way
haphazard bone position, angular asymmetric limbs
Its neck bent unnaturally backwards, grotesque
during its last spasms of agony, before death
THECODONTION and VESSEL OF INIQUITY join forces in a conceptual split release to tell us about the titular Permian-Triassic extinction event (commonly known as "The Great Dying"), and life emerging anew afterwards. It occurred approximately 251 million years ago and it was Earth's most severe extinction event, during which almost all of the marine species, terrestrial vertebrates and insects became extinct. Theories for its cause range from meteor impacts, volcanic eruptions and climate change, and calamitous occurrences such as basalt volcanic eruptions and ocean acidification are beautifully depicted with abstract forms on the cover artwork, courtesy of Italian artist STRX.
THECODONTION's side explores two different creatures which lived after that catastrophic occurrence, thus during the Triassic period: Thecodontosarus antiquus was a an ancestral relative to sauropods; Procompsognathus triassicus was a small bipedal carnivorous theropod. VESSEL OF INIQUITY's side is sonically destructive, yet it features an evocative and almost poetic description of the inevitable cataclysm that occurred, putting an end to the Permian period and paving the way for new lifeforms during the Triassic.
After the critically acclaimed debut full length "Supercontinent", THECODONTION is back with two tracks (both spawned during the album's recording sessions), in which the band is at its most experimental and intricate musical point thus far. Atmospheric, melodic leads and blistering solos alternate with crushing riffs and relentless blasting.
VESSEL OF INIQUITY's sole member A. White is a master in audial annihilation and ultra-violence in the form of furious drumming and non-stop slab of harsh noise, behind which lies a vortex of sprawling riffs. After two masterpieces such as "Vessel of Iniquity" and "Void of Infinite Horror", this entity is certainly not holding back regarding musical extremity.
Thecodontion's side recorded by Guglielmo Nodari at Snakes Studio (Rome, Italy) and mixed/mastered by Marco Salluzzo at Necromorbus Studio (Stockholm, Sweden).
Vessel of Iniquity's side conceived, recorded, engineered, mixed and mastered by A. White.
Thecodontion (pron. Te-co-don-tee-on) is a Prehistoric Metal of Death band from Italy formed in 2016 and about prehistory, fossils, and geologic periods. NO GUITARS - ONLY DEATH!
supported by 32 fans who also own “The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event”
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
