Death Metal

Thailand’s REINCARNATED set release date for INHUMAN ASSAULT debut, reveal first track – features members of SAVAGE DEITY, OLDSKULL, SHAMBLES+++

Today, Inhuman Assault Productions announces September 3rd as the international release date for the highly anticipated debut album of Thailand’s Reincarnated, Of Boötes Void Death Spell, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Formed in 2017, Reincarnated would make their public debut with the demo The Alpha Echo in 2020. Despite being a brand-new band, Reincarnated include a number of veterans of the Thai metal underground, with members currently playing in such cult bands as Savage Deity, Oldskull, Shambles, Nocturnal Damnation, Dark Mystery, and Lotus of Darkness among others. However, as Reincarnated, the goal was to play only the darkest and most doomed-out DEATH METAL: gutted, ghastly, and knuckle-dragging, with no room for innovation or progression.

Indeed, that sick music for sick people quickly reaches its apotheosis with Of Boötes Void Death Spell, Reincarnated‘s full-length debut. To enter into this five-song/31-minute furnace is to step into a soundworld of utter sliminess, humid frequencies unhealthily spawning malodorous tendrils of tension and terror. Or, one could simply stand back and be summarily CRUSHED by the ceaselessly rolling tank-tread of DOOM that Reincarnated so effortlessly dole out. Either way, it’s clear that Of Boötes Void Death Spell is a death metal maniac’s record, recorded by death metal maniacs; it doesn’t strive to be more than anything than that, nor should it have to. The songwriting is stout, and the production is absolute vintage: Reincarnated create the kind of sepulchral death metal that takes a studied hand and mind, and one that cannot be faked.

Diehards for Disma, Undergang, Funebrarum, Grave Miasma, and early Necros Christos are wholeheartedly encouraged to submit to Reincarnated‘s onslaught. There is no escape from Of Boötes Void Death Spell. 

Try escaping with the brand-new track “Ophiucus Crypt” here:

TRIUMVIR FOUL set release date for third and final album, to be released by INVICTUS and VRASUBATLAT – first track also revealed

Triumvir Foul releases their third laceration of lust-ridden emanation – Onslaught to Seraphim. 

Co-manifested by Vrasubatlat and Invictus Productions, this final release of the cabal showcases Triumvir Foul‘s most violent offering to date. Tying in the theme of the three serpents of their first album, Onslaught of Seraphim tells the demise of the beasts in the waged war upon the heavens and the slaughtering of angels in their carnal demise. 

Onslaught to Seraphim is to be released on cassette by Vrasubatlat and CD by Invictus Productions on July 29th, with a co-released vinyl version to come soon after.


My phallic carnage and creations
Into angel’s death
Skies morose with the perpetual drain
They writhe in dread
As I tear them from their wings
They pathetically squirming
The apocalyptic triumph over Jehovah
And the onslaught of Seraphim

HAIL VRASUBATLAT

Texas’ FLESHROT set release date for ME SACO UN OJO / DESERT WASTELAND debut, reveal first track

Today, Me Saco Un Ojo Records, in conspiracy with Desert Wasteland Productions, announces August 1st as the international release date for the highly anticipated debut album of Texas’ Fleshrot, Unburied Corpse. Me Saco Un Ojo will handle the album’s release in Europe while Desert Wastelands will handle the USA.

Since forming in 2019, Texas’ Fleshrot have accumulated a steady fanbase with their rancid blend of slowly chugging death metal. With a demo, split, and single under their belts, it is time for their debut album to finally crush the skulls of the collective underground. With an immediately gripping assault of hammering, chunky bass, putrescent guitars, and guttural vocals, the sludgy cacophony of rotten ichor is even more brutal than ever before on this record; it does not take much time to figure that out. From Neanderthaloid riffing and belching breaks, the lumbering juggernaut of heaviness has a groove that even the most primitive mind can bang their head to, scattering loose brain matter as the bludgeoning and lacerating sounds cut through living tissue effortlessly. With some bonus savagery borrowed from grindcore but played at hideously slow pace, this album cannot be accused of being anything other than some of the filthiest and heaviest death metal you will ever hear. Equally, there is nothing trendy or bandwagon-jumping in sight: Fleshrot have their own sound, and deliver it with a scathing performance that is convincing in its own right. 

If progression and technical nuance is what you seek, steer clear, for this is a sub-30-minute slab of pure butchery that is not for the self-proclaimed audio genius (read: pretentious); this is violent, visceral, and somehow stinks of rotting meat. With a production that allows seeping guitar wounds in the thick, tarry bass lines while retaining the snappy drums and not allowing the bellowed vocals to overshadow anything, this is a dense and swampy cut of morbid death metal that will puke itself forth into your ears, defiling and degrading all it comes into contact with. If you can withstand the putrefied sonic fruits bared by Fleshrot, then commend your stomach and ears’ strength because most will falter before the mighty and malicious blows landed by Unburied Corpse in all of its lurking, squelching, and squalid splendor.

SEDIMENTUM set release date for ME SACO UN OJO / MEMENTO MORI debut, reveal first track

Today, Me Saco Un Ojo Records and Memento Mori announce July 25th as the international release date for Sedimentum‘s highly anticipated debut album, Suppuration Morphogénésiaque. Me Saco Un Ojo will handle the vinyl and tape versions while Memento Mori will handle the CD version.

Do you believe that death metal should require some flimsy introduction to have atmosphere? Or soft, clean guitars? Please allow us to introduce you to Sedimentum, whose burgeoning cacophony of rotten, old-school putridity is packed with a charnel atmosphere while constantly firing on all cylinders. Their debut LP dives headlong into a chunky blend of overdriven bass, gut-splitting guitars, skull-pummeling drums, and absolutely gargantuan vocals. Befitted with a raw, uncompressed production that harkens back to when death metal terrified the masses with its violently unwelcoming sounds, this is not an album that faint-hearted trendies will like. This is pure unfiltered filth. 

As the glorious Brad Moore cover artwork aesthetically displays, the grotesque and malignant horrors on this album are vibrant and unforgettable, something the music lives up to and surpasses expectations with. Following a couple of great demos and splits, the underground has recognized Sedimentum as the real deal, with a loyal legion of real death metal diehards already adoring the Quebecois mob of miscreants. Now the curtain has been pulled back for their first full-length, and all manner of unearthly beings spew forth.

If you have read these eldritch writings to this point, you are likely one of the few who appreciates death metal the way it is supposed to be: raw, unfiltered, and jagged. Sedimentum deliver on all promises of fetid extremity tenfold with cerebral riffs, warped atmospherics, and a contorted delivery that spatters any surroundings in decaying fluids from the deepest tombs. This growling, churning, puking opus of pus-ridden soundscapes is an old-school-sounding tome that redefines the word disgust with its mangled sonic apparitions and takes you into a state where you meditate upon the abhorrent. 

Taking the gloom of some death-doom but keeping the overall mood much more feisty and aggressive, there is bark and bite on this record while never being superficial about the actual feel of the album. Everything seems too candid and urgent to be premeditated; with precision but also spontaneity, there is no holding back the beast that is Sedimentum now they have lurched and lumbered forth from whichever catacombs they dwelled within. You will be putrefied, and you will love it. (text by Jørgen Sven Kirby, Nattskog webzine)  

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track “Funestes Manifestations” here:

America’s CRUCIFIER stream new IRON BONEHEAD mini-album

On June 1st internationally, Iron Bonehead Productions will release a brand-new mini-album from America’s Crucifier, Say Your Prayers, on CD and 12″ vinyl formats. And today, the Death Metal Promotion YouTube channel streams the mini-album in its entirety. Hear Crucifier‘s Say Your Prayers in its entirety here:

One of the longest-running entities in the American underground, Crucifier was formed in 1990 by vocalist/drummer Cazz Grant. While myriad lineups would come and go – and the band’s eventual debut album, Stronger Than Passing Time, wouldn’t be released until 2003 – Crucifier have kept consistent to their blasphemous, blackened death metal style steeped in the truly ancient and most underground ways.

Now, four years after their last recording (the full-length Thy Sulfur Throne on High), Crucifier return to ruin everyone’s day with a five-song/26-minute mini-album titled Say Your Prayers. Primal but not primitive, weird and wandering but fully locked-in and never forgetting the METAL aspect, the quartet create a ghastly, grimy experience here, with Grant’s vocals in particular stunning in their diabolic delirium. Furthering that delirium are the mind-mangled leads by Spencer “Madman” Murphy, also aided by Grant, altogether proving that Crucifier‘s eldritch sound is eternal.

Concluded by a Carnivore cover, Crucifier never stop the madness, so Say Your Prayers!

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Crucifier (USA)’s Say Your Prayers
1. My Soul to Take [6:20]
2. Foul Deeds Will Rise [5:44]
3. Into Ash [3:18]
4. Chime of the Goat’s Head Bell [3:59]
5. Jesus Hitler [Carnivore cover] [5:52]

RITUALIZATION set release date for new IRON BONEHEAD mini-album, reveal first track

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces August 12th as the international release date for a brand-new mini-album from Ritualization, Hema Ignis Necros, on CD and 12″ vinyl formats.

It’s been five long years since Ritualization‘s widely acclaimed debut album for Iron Bonehead, Sacraments to the Sons of the Abyss. While most of the lineup has stayed intact, new vocalist/bassist Daethorn arrives from Merrimack, who’s very much a fellow French underground veteran like his bandmates. Together, the quintet deliver a three-song firestorm of epic proportions in Hema Ignis Necros. 

Indeed, “epic” is an apt descriptor for this three-song/26 mini-album, as the nuclear-powered bestiality of yore – channeled from death metal’s most infernal depths, as practiced by the elite lineage of Angelcorpse/Perdition Temple, Centurian/Nox, and Ravager/Hacavitz – is welded to winding, barbed-wire complexity of songcraft. Sharpened like a gleaming blade, their sulfurous ultraviolence is finessed to an exceptional degree, with terror and tension lurking in the record’s more reposed moments. It’s a statement of intent, to be sure, and one that proves that serious blackened death is still worth reckoning.

Ritualization may have been away for some years, but on proof of Hema Ignis Necros, their commitment to the faithful tradition of what death metal must be is forever firm. Detonate & desecrate! 

Begin detonating & desecrating with the brand-new track “The Crown of Moloch” here:

Cover artwork, courtesy of the legendary Chris Moyen, and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Ritualization’s Hema Ignis Necros
1. The Shapeless Scepter [10:02]
2. The Crown of Moloch [8:03]

PERDITION TEMPLE set release date for new special HELLS HEADBANGERS full-length

Today, Hells Headbangers announces June 24th as the international release date for a special new full-length from Perdition Temple, Merciless Upheaval, on CD and cassette tape formats. The vinyl version will follow later this year. 

In 2020, Perdition Temple blasted back into the spotlight with Sacraments of Descension, the band’s second album for Hells Headbangers (and third overall). While it had been five years since the release of a Perdition Temple full-length, the reinvigorated lineup – vocalist/guitarist Gene Palubicki (Angelcorpse, Malefic Throne, Blasphemic Cruelty), bassist Alex Blume (Ares Kingdom, Blasphemic Cruelty), and drummer Ron Parmer (Malevolent Creation, Bloodmessiah, Brutality) – kept their trademark sound but made it unfathomably more feverish and finessed. Truly, power-trios didn’t come more deadly than this! But, above all, the band’s songwriting across Sacraments of Descension was stronger than ever, and the record rightfully reaped widespread acclaim.

Meanwhile, as the world plummeted further into chaos, Perdition Temple recorded a special full-length, Merciless Upheaval. Comprising four new songs and four covers for a total of 34 fiery minutes, Merciless Upheaval is indeed aptly titled and serves as a fitting, equally feverish counterpart to Sacraments of Descension. Much of that is down to the same lineup being in place, as iron-fisted as ever as they effortlessly unleash cyclones of classic death metal. Each member delivers a masterclass here, much as they did on the record’s predecessor; their crush is chaotic and controlled simultaneously, their precision betraying no small amount of power. Of the four covers, we’re treated to Perdition Temple‘d renditions of Infernal Majesty, Pestilence, Mexico’s Shub Niggurath, and of course Morbid Angel, making for an album-length experience which handily straddles past, present, and future.

Perdition Temple thankfully continue to keep their irons in the fire, so plunge into Merciless Upheaval post-haste!

Begin plunging with the previously revealed track “Redemption Abattoir” here:

GRAVE INFESTATION set release date for INVICTUS debut album, reveal first track

Today, Invictus Productions announces June 3rd as the international release date for Grave Infestation‘s highly anticipated debut album, Persecution of the Living, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Formed in 2018, Grave Infestation wasted no time in making their presence in the underground felt far and wide. Recorded as a power-trio, the band’s debut demo, Infesticide, was originally self-released in late 2018 and then picked up for wider release by Invictus. On evidence of that opening 23-minute salvo, it’s not difficult to understand why: Grave Infestation wielded a gutsfucking sound that near-effortlessly synthesized every slice of darkness of death metal’s pivotal late ’80s era. Death metal diehards took notice, and then the second demo, Infestation of Rotting Death, consolidated that enviable standing, now revealing the band as a quartet.

Alas, as doom enveloped the earth, Grave Infestation was lurking in wait, brewing their full-length debut. And it arrives with the force of a nuclear payload in the form of Persecution of the Living. Reprising a couple re-recorded songs from the preceding demo, the presciently titled Persecution of the Living wastes no fucking time in getting in and absolutely flaying the listener alive. The foundation remains much the same – from the malignant tendrils Morbid Angel cast across the Tampa scene to the buzzsaw bulldoze of the contemporaneous Swedish scene, the ancient foundation of Necrovore, Repulsion, and Sadistic Intent to Carcass’ godly first two albums – but Grave Infestation exhibit a frightening clarity in their jackhammering attack. Some could call it a “clean(er)” iteration of their strident sound; others might view that cauldron with focus and finesse, as eerie melodies occasionally bubble up from the muck; but whatever tag you put on it, Persecution of the Living represents a professional-yet-powerful statement to the wider metal world. Darkness, death, DOOM: herald the grand arrival of Grave Infestation!

Witness that arrival with the brand-new track “Slaughter, Then Laughter” here:

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Grave Infestation’s Persecution of the Living
1. Intro
2. The Conquest of Pestilence
3. Slaughter, then Laughter
4. Persecution of the Living
5. Can You See the Pale Horseman in the Distance
6. Plague of Crypts
7. Death of the Last Individual
8. Human Jigsaw Puzzle
9. Eternal Oblivion
10. Outro

Poland’s CLAIRVOYANCE set release date for BLOOD HARVEST debut mini-album, reveal first track

Today, Blood Harvest Records announces May 20th as the international release date for the highly anticipated debut mini-album of Poland’s Clairvoyance, Threshold of Nothingness, on CD and cassette tape formats. The 12″ vinyl version will follow later this year.

Hailing from Warsaw City, Clairvoyance with the idea to embody their passion for ’90s extreme metal – predominantly death metal, as one might guess – and maybe spark some interest in OSDM in the local underground scene. And they managed to spark interest beyond their local scene with the release of their self-titled debut demo in 2020, evincing a dark ‘n’ disgusting sound that, uniquely, was lucidly played. Not easily pigeonholed, in just 11 minutes did Clairvoyance show massive potential.

And now it blooms with the 24-minute mini-album Threshold of Nothingness. Kicking right into gear, Clairvoyance waste no time in drawing the listener down into a slipstream of dread frequencies and attacking-yet-angular rhythms, a congealing mass of slimy riffs and mind-melted solos. Yet again, the quintet’s execution is peerless, locating that elusive balance between deadly precision and delirious mania. The songwriting may surge and sway, ever twisting through catacombs of turn-of-the-’90s splendor, but their breakdowns are literal BEATDOWNS that proudly meld old NYDM with contemporaneous Finnish filth. All told, Threshold of Nothingness evinces a freshness of approach by imaginatively recasting classic archetypes and carrying it forward with conviction.

Mark the Clairvoyance name now, and enter their Threshold of Nothingness or forever pose!

Begin entering with the brand-new track “The Curse” here:

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Clairvoyance (Poland)’s Threshold of Nothingness
1. Decline Into Oblivion

America’s OBSCENE announce tour dates supporting Morta Skuld, prepare release of new BLOOD HARVEST album

Today, American death metallers Obscene announce the tour dates in support of Morta Skuld. The US tour coincides with the release of the band’s highly anticipated second album, …From Dead Horizon to Dead Horizon, which is set for release on CD and tape formats on May 27th via Blood Harvest Records; the vinyl version will follow on August 5th. Confirmed dates for the Morta Skuld / Obscene tour, as well as poster art, are as follows:
6/3 – Youngstown, OH @ West Side Bowl 
6/2 – Louisville, KY @ Mag Bar
6/1 – Memphis, TN @ Hi Tone
5/31 – New Orleans, LA @ Santos
5/30 – Houston, TX @ Super Happy Fun Land
5/29 -Austin, TX @ The Lost Well
5/28 – San Antonio, TX @ TBA
5/27 – Dallas, TX @ Double Wide Bar
5/26 – Tulsa, OK @ Whittier Bar
5/25 – St Louis, MO @ Platypus

Conjured in 2016, Obscene are a death metal quartet from Indianapolis, Indiana. Following their Sermon to the Snake demo in late 2017, they quickly caught the attention of Sweden’s Blood Harvest, who reissued the demo on cassette and digital formats in early 2018. 2020 saw the release of Obscene‘s debut LP, The Inhabitable Dark. The record, earning year-end accolades from the likes of Zero Tolerance, Invisible Oranges, Grizzly Butts, Last Rites, etc. continues to garner praise of fans and critics internationally. 2020 prevented Obscene from performing live; in 2021, the band resurfaced for successful festival appearances at Tri State Terror and Full Terror Assault alongside acts such as Nunslaughter, Wraith, and Bat as well as a Chicago crusher with Skeletal Remains and Molder while resuming writing and recording …From Dead Horizon to Dead Horizon. 

Now 2022 sees the release of that highly anticipated second album, ….From Dead Horizon to Dead Horizon. Recorded by engineer Noah Buchanan (Midnight, Nunslaughter) at Mercinary Studios and mastered by Dan Swano (Bloodbath, Hail of Bullets) at Unisound AB, the follow-up to the band’s critically acclaimed The Inhabitable Dark full-length is as bulldozingly devastating as it is infectious and memorable. Far and away their most surgical performance to date, …From Dead Horizon to Dead Horizon bursts at the seams with world-eating rhythms, barbaric riffs, and pained howls at the moon. Obscene don’t care about reinventing the wheel; rather, they opt to keep the faithful wheel turning. The album is suitably adorned with the cover art of Skadvaldur (Coffin Rot, Ripped to Shreds).

To kick of the release of …From Dead Horizon to Dead Horizon, Obscene will be touring the United States in support of Morta Skuld. And the wheel keeps turning!

In the meantime, see & hear the brand-new video “Deathless Demigod” here:
