WOMBRIPPER set release date for new MEMENTO MORI album, reveal first track

In their endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage death metal, on October 26th, Memento Mori is proud to present Wombripper‘s highly anticipated second album, Macabre Melodies.

Hailing from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia and formed in February 2013, Wombripper have ever since leaned towards the Swedish school of death metal with raw, crunchy buzzsaw guitars and straightforward compositions. Highly influenced by Grave, Entombed, and Dismember, their first demo, Morbid Aberrations, was recorded and released in 2014, and the band shared the stage with some of the genre’s milestones such as Necrophobic, Nominon, and Fleshcrawl, and also newer underground acts such as Undergang, Nocturnal Witch, etc.

After several lineup changes, the four-track EP Infected Tomb was recorded and self-released by the band in 2017. That same year, Wombripper recorded their debut album, From the Depths of Flesh, which was released in 2018 by different labels, such as Redefining Darkness Records (USA) and Grotesque Sounds (Russia). From the Depths of Flesh gained them lots of positive feedback from the media and old-school death metal fans alike, as the album displayed some top-notch Swedeath, an aural massacre featuring plenty of catchy and morbid melodies, blazing solos, and blasting devastation.

Now scaled back to a three-piece, Wombripper put the POWER in power-trio with their crushing second album, Macabre Melodies. Ever aptly titled, Macabre Melodies is both macabre to the max as well as melodic – in a most macabre manner! Wombripper are nothing if not maniacs devoted to pure ’90s death metal, and that vintage aspect rings proud ‘n’ true here, adding to (but never subtracting from) the iron-clad foundation laid down by Dismember back then, keeping the guitars gutsfucking and incredibly tuneful, with hummable tunes you simply won’t be able to get out of your head. But lest anyone linger under the assumption that “melodic” equates to some weakening aspect, fuck right off here: Wombripper are not named that for no reason, and Macabre Melodies encapsulates and then eclipses their no-less-righteous prior recordings, making for the band’s apex to date and all without sacrificing an ounce of crush or credibility.

Graced with stark ‘n’ haunting cover art courtesy of MFA XII, Macabre Melodies is the sweet song you’ll hear…before you DIE! Fans of classic Entombed, Fleshcrawl, Entrails, Nirvana 2002, Dismember, Grave, Demonical, Carnage, and God Macabre – Wombripper is your favorite new old-style band!

The first macabre melody can be heard with the brand-new track “Possessed by Unknown” here:

BLOOD HARVEST to release split EP between ANARCHOS and MORBID STENCH – streaming now

Today, Blood Harvest Records sets October 16th as the international release date for Ghospels of Necromancy, a special split EP between Anarchos and Morbid Stench, on 7″ vinyl format.

Quick and sick, Ghospels of Necromancy is aptly titled. Anarchos should need no introduction to those following the devilish deeds of Blood Harvest, for the label released the band’s celebrated debut album, Invocation of Moribund Spirits, in late 2017. Here, the Dutch quartet unload two tracks of prime filth ‘n’ darkness, each exquisitely gutted, and sparing no small amount of urgency.
If Anarchos offer all-caps DEATH METAL, then they’re well paired with Morbid Stench, a stronghold of El Salvadoran extreme metal. Fresh from their cult Doom & Putrefaction debut LP last year, the power-trio of Morbid Stench indeed offer yet more doom & putrefaction with one world-eating track that’s equally filthy and dark but differently so.

Beware Anarchos and Morbid Stench, for they bring you Ghospels of Necromancy! Stream the split in its entirety here:
Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Ghospels of Necromancy 1. ANARCHOS – Grotesque Perversity
2. ANARCHOS – Tortured Souls
3. MORBID STENCH – Brethren Accuser

New Zealand’s black/death/doom titans Vassafor stream new album

Today, black/death/doom titans Vassafor stream the entirety of their highly anticipated third album, To the Death. Set for international release on August 7th via Iron Bonehead Productions, hear Vassafor‘s To the Death in its entirety here:
Vassafor should need no introduction. For the past decade and a half, since the band’s reactivation with their Demo II in 2005, this New Zealand cult have patiently plied their idiosyncratic craft, pushing the boundaries of black and death metal ever further whilst driving deep into each’s collective core. Although some will argue that they reached their apotheosis with 2012’s debut album, Obsidian Complex – a true, two-disc double album – Vassafor played their most daring hand with respective split LPs with comrades Sinistrous Diabolus and Temple Nightside (both released by Iron Bonehead in 2014 and 2015, respectively). In miniature, these works amplified the simultaneously world-eating/ethereal textures that lay at the heart of the Vassafor aesthetic. After an intense two years in the shadows, their grandest work so far was revealed: Malediction, released in October 2017 on vinyl and cassette via Iron Bonehead. Vassafor continued to cement their legend…

Vassafor are not ones for half-measures. For them, their spirituality is Satanic and absolute: no compromise, no quarter. Thus, with the aptly titled To the Death do Vassafor render their most direct statement yet, yet one also imbued with a lurking strangeness that’s entirely their own. At once submerging into the murkiest depths of the underground from whence they sprang, in other senses smothering those senses with a serpentine flow that’s stultifying to behold, the seven sonic incantations comprising the 66-minute To the Death prove that the duo indeed are ever able to conjure horrifying new shapes stitched from the fabric of the ancients. Not for nothing is this third full-length titled as such: To the Death bespeaks Vassafor‘s own path – theirs, and theirs literally ALONE – that is verily “Archaic Black Metal that exists outside time.” Any band would kill to write songs as mesmerizing ‘n’ monolithic as the opening 12-minute title track, or the ten-minute self-explanatory “Eyrie,” or especially the 17-minute, likewise self-explanatory closer “Singularity”…and that’s barely half the album.

Vassafor exist on their own terms, and we can only help but bear witness to their black magick. To the Death is a statement of intent, a world unto itself, and so much more: bow, enter, die.

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Vassafor’s To the Death 1. To the Death [12:03]
2. Egregore Rising [7:36]

INFESTICIDE set release date for new BLOOD HARVEST album, reveal first tracks

Today, Blood Harvest Records sets September 25th as the international release date for Infesticide‘s highly anticipated second album, Envenoming Wounds, on CD and cassette tape formats. The vinyl LP version shall follow on October 16th.

Bursting from the void in 2012 as Inherited, the band-to-become Infesticide released a couple demos under the moniker before making the official change halfway through 2013. And indeed, this moniker change signaled something of a sound change, or at least shift, as the power-trio stepped away from thrash and plunged headlong into pure and total DEATH METAL, particularly from their native Mexico. A demo and EP were released under the Infesticide banner in 2014, to be followed by the band’s debut album, Death’s Formulas Fatal, in 2016. That debut full-length found favor among diehards for its utterly harsh ‘n’ vile sound.

Keeping the same iron-fisted formula but finessing it further, Infesticide now unleash their gnarliest strike yet with Envenoming Wounds. Everything here is magnified to OTT levels – berzerker performance, clear-yet-crushing production, songwriting that’s scurrying yet seamless, everything simply set to SAVAGE – and proudly upholds the banner of classic demonic death metal as ushered in by early Morbid Angel and then carried forward by Krisiun, Angelcorpse, and God Dethroned. But, of course, there’s that unmistakable sulfurous magick that Mexico’s so renown for within underground circles, and Infesticide‘s hellish ‘n’ humid attack leaves no question about their origins. Comparisons to labelmates In Obscurity Revealed are perhaps unavoidable, as vocalist/guitarist Isaías SpeedBlosky and bassist Fabrizio pull double-duty in both bands, but drummer Indra’s many-tentacled kit-destruction as well as the more labyrinthine song constructions squarely put Envenoming Wounds in its own category. Which is to say nothing of the two instrumentals, “Acid Lava” and “Ageless Storms,” both of which are aptly-fucking-titled…

Mexican death metal bears a proud lineage, and Infesticide blaze a path of the old into a fiery future with Envenoming Wounds!

Begin blazing with the brand-new tracks “Envenoming Wounds” and “Magma Blood” here:
Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Infesticide’s Envenoming Wounds 1. Envenoming Wounds
2. The Phosphovore

Los Angeles’ TRANSCENDENCE set release date for BLOOD HARVEST debut album, reveal first track

Today, Blood Harvest Records sets September 25th as the international release date for the highly anticipated debut album of Los Angeles’ TranscendenceTowards Obscurities Beyond, on CD and cassette tape formats. The vinyl LP version shall follow on October 16th.

Formed in 2013, Transcendence have been a study in patience and perseverance. The band digitally released their first EP, Morbid Reality, in 2014 and was followed by the Altar of Disease demo later that year. Back then, Transcendence maintained a more deathrashing sound, but after some lineup shuffling, they re-emerged in 2017 with the EP Hour of the Summoning, which Blood Harvest released on cassette in early 2018. Here, the intensity was upratcheted further, thanks in part to a brand-new rhythm section and Michael Alvarez taking over the second guitar spot. With this edition, Blood Harvest signed Transcendence for the release of their imminent debut album.

At long last, it arrives in the form of Towards Obscurities Beyond. As the band promised upon signing with Blood Harvest, here do the quintet take the style of Hour of the Summoning and add a distinctly more melodic touch ala Dissection and early Necrophobic. While no doubt nodding to the ’90s, the Transcendence unfurled here retain a timeless quality, a cutting-yet-classy sound that’s DEATH METAL through and through but effortlessly guides the listener across vast, windswept vistas of the imagination – dark, fantastical vistas, to be sure. A cursory glance of the grim-yet-graceful Adam Burke cover art certainly gives some clues, but delve deeper into Towards Obscurities Beyond and be met with majesty that’s purple ‘n’ blue in spirit but red, white, and blue in execution: neither too raw nor too clean, neither categorically nasty nor nice, Transcendence simply have found a nigh-perfect balance of songwriting imagination, finessed chops, and just-dynamic-enough production that all combine into something equally fresh and classic.

Mark our words: nowhere this year will you find a melodic death metal record more pure yet powerful than Towards Obscurities Beyond. Transcendence are a diamond in the rough, and their gleam is glorious to behold!

Behold the first gleam with the brand-new track “Infernal Resurrection”  here:
Aforementioned cover and tracklisting are as follows:

2. Majesty Of Chaos
3. Towards Obscurities Beyond

7. Ravens Of The Burial
8. In Silent Procession

Austrian deathrashers Deathstorm premiere new track

Today, Austrian deathrashers Deathstorm premiere the new track “Human Individual Metamorphosis”. The track hails from the band’s highly anticipated fourth album, For Dread Shall Reign, set for international release on July 31st via Dying Victims Productions. Hear Deathstorm‘s “Human Individual Metamorphosis” in its entirety here:
A veritable institution by now, Deathstorm have been flying the flag of hate for a decade now, releasing albums on such well-regarded labels as I Hate and High Roller. Deathstorm delivered a swift ‘n’ sweet EP for Dying Victims titled The Gallows in 2015, and now the power-trio return to the label for their most intense and varied recording yet, For Dread Shall Reign.

Without doubt, the spectre of classic Kreator looms large over Deathstorm still – and why should it not, when you’re doing deathtrash this devastating? – but with For Dread Shall Reign, the band bring forth a whole host of equally classic contours. From very old Metallica to equally old Slayer on to ‘80s Death and especially Demolition Hammer, Deathstorm here hammer out riffs, riffs, RIFFS! But, unlike so much thrash that haphazardly seeks to simply catalog riffs in disservice of the song, these Austrian veterans thread their enviable arsenal into hard-charging, headbanging juggernauts of immediately memorable metal-mania manna. There’s nothing fancy here, no concessions toward “maturity” or “crossover” or other euphemisms for watering-down their already-heady brew; for Deathstorm, heavy metal is the law, and For Dread Shall Reign honors this noble ideal pairing strong songwriting with a tight ‘n’ brutal production favorably reminiscent of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Because Deathstorm aren’t broken – so don’ fix ‘em!

Social criticism, serial killers, cults, anti-religion, war…all this is grist for Deathstorm’s lyrical mill. What they spit out is supreme DEATH-fucking-THRASH of the highest order, because in these troubled times, For Dread Shall Reign!

DARKENED set release date for EDGED CIRCLE debut album, reveal first track – features members of GRAVE, MEMORIAM, A CANOROUS QUINTET, EXCRUCIATE+++

Today, Edged Circle Productions announces September 11th as the international release date for the highly anticipated debut album of pan-international quintet DarkenedKingdom of Decay.

It was but the summer of 2019 when Darkened burst onto the international stage with their debut EP for Edged CircleInto the Blackness. Although an otherwise-brand-new entity at the time, Darkened boasted a wealth of experience in the death metal underground, comprising drummer Andy Whale (ex-Bolt Thrower / Memoriam), bassist Daryl Kahan (ex-Disma / Funebrarum), vocalist Gord Olson (Ye Goat-Herd Gods / Demisery), and guitarists Linus Nirbrant (A Canorous Quintet / This Ending) and Hempa Brynolfsson (Excruciate / Ordo Inferus). As such, the band’s opening salvo was truly a sum of all its not-inconsiderable parts: all-caps DEATH METAL of a cool and cruising and above all CRUSHING aspect. Unsurprisingly, Into the Blackness garnered widespread acclaim, and heightened anticipation for the band’s inevitable first full-length.

At last, it arrives under the ominous title Kingdom of Decay. Darkened here have undergone a slight lineup shift, with Kahan departing as bassist and Tobias Cristiansson (Grave / ex-Dismember) taking his place – another underground veteran whose presence is perfect for the band’s increasingly confident crush. Everything on Kingdom of Decay is an intensification of that short-but-sweet debut EP: the riffs more patient but punishing, the doom darker and doled out more effectively, the songs more world-eating whilst effectively exploring a greater wealth of dynamics and, it must be said, atmosphere. Elsewhere, the winning formula of Into the Blackness remains largely unchanged – the stately, steely pulse of later Bolt Thrower or the subsequent Memoriam dusted with the classy melodicism of A Canorous Quintet and successors This Ending, but all done with a touch that’s somewhere between comfortably familiar and subtly unique – and you can now also add a touch of the tank-like onslaught of prime Grave, with everything given a gleaming CRUSH courtesy of the mixing by Tobbe Sillman (General Surgery) and mastered by the one and only Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity) in the famous Unisound Studio in Sweden. This is what debut-album dreams are made of…or nightmares!

Graced with unforgettably austere cover artwork courtesy of Juanjo Castellano Rosado (Unleashed, The Black Dalhia Murder, Gates of Ishtar), Darkened‘s Kingdom of Decay is guaranteed to be one of THE death metal albums of the year. DEATH METAL for death metal maniacs, by death metal maniacs!

Italian death metal cult Valgrind premiere new track “The Day”

Today, Italian death metal cult Valgrind premiere the new track The Day” here:
The track hails from the band’s highly anticipated fourth album, Condemnation, set for international release on July 27th via Memento Mori.

Valgrind was born from the ashes of the ultra-underground act Necrospell in 1993, as a death/black metal project with both extreme and melodic influences. Over the following years, the band released four demos and developed its own style, combining the main influences (Morbid Angel, Pestilence, Death, Nocturnus, Possessed, Monstrosity, Immolation) with a passion for the epically dark atmospheres of bands like Candlemass and early Paradise Lost.

Disbanded in 2003, the strong will to return on stage of both founding member / main songwriter Massimiliano Elia and vocalist Daniele Lupidi (also frontman of Hateful) made Valgrind‘s return possible in 2008. With the addition of new motivated members, the band released their debut full-length, Morning Will Come No More, in 2012. The album contained almost one hour of classic death metal filled with killer solos, memorable riffs and obscure vocals. Following the release, a series of shows were held in Italy, Germany, Holland, and Sweden. In 2016, the band delivered their sophomore full-length, Speech of the Flame, via Lord of the Flies Records. The music strayed away from some of the early influences to become more personal, while the lyrical concept dealt with the darkest sides of the ancient Mediterranean civilizations. An EP called Seal of Phobos followed in 2017, and only one year later, Valgrind delivered their third full-length, their most ambitious work to date, on Everlasting Spew Records. Blackest Horizon saw an increasing level of technicality in the guitar department, while retaining the old-school vibe of the previous works. Vocals became less guttural and more aggressive, while a more organic production gave the listener a wider musical spectrum to dive into. Again, the public was introduced to the new songs in some memorable shows, including Helsinki Deathfest in 2018.

Entering the studio again in mid-2019, Valgrind have now arguably delivered their masterwork: Condemnation. Undeniably and 1000% DEATH FUCKING METAL to the core, there’s an intangible “something,” a never-belabored uniqueness, that now sets these Italians apart from so much stock-standard death metal. For sure, their roots lay in the genre’s old school still, but the bits & pieces they pull and recombine are unexpected but most definitely welcome; no particular scene or substyle or specific year is selected, just the focus on strong songwriting and impassioned performance. Likewise, the lyricism doesn’t betray death metal’s rigorous boundaries – here, it’s the myths of legendary creatures and beasts in various ancient cultures – but Valgrind bring an artful touch to fantastical horror, all of it rolling out of bassist Lupidi’s lugubrious throat with commanding clarity. To that, the power-trio’s clarity of execution is also a thing of (ugly) beauty, firing off one flowing, furious part after another with seamless construction and solos that are the absolute definition of class. In fact, calling Condemnation “classy death metal” would not be much of a stretch: the songwriting itself is that poignant and powerful, and the production – mixed by Cristiano Copat at KK Recording Studio, and mastered by Damian Herring at Subterranean Watchtower Studios – is perfectly matched, skillfully balancing that clarity with crush.

Giving this special album an ever-more-distinctive touch is the cover art courtesy of Lupidi himself, hereby making Condemnation truly Valgrind‘s triumph of death!

Chilean death metal cult Soulrot premiere new track “All that remains”

Today, Chilean death metal cult Soulrot premiere the new track “All That Remains”
The track hails from the band’s highly anticipated second album, Victims of Spiritual Warfare, set for international release on July 27th via Memento Mori
Hailing from the city of Valparaíso, Chile’s Soulrot was formed by guitar player JL Olmos (Betrayed, ex-Micosis, ex-Gangrenous) circa 1993-1994 but was put to rest due to JL being involved in several other projects at the time. It wasn’t until 2013 that JL joined bass player/vocalist JH Wilschrey (Sadistic Murder, Acero Letal) and they both resuscitated Soulrot, manifesting their unquestionable inclination towards the death metal of yore.

This glorious, gangrenous resurrection resulted in the Horrors from Beyond demo in 2014 and the Revelations EP two years later. However, come 2017 did Soulrot finally released their first full-length, Nameless Hideous Manifestations, through death-metal-of-yore stronghold Memento Mori. Bolstered by the addition of Daniel Fredes (Sadistic Murder) on drums, Soulrot stuck to their guns – a lyrical inclination toward H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmogony and the preternatural, and musically inspired by old acts such as Nihilist/Entombed, Carnage, Autopsy, Grave, Necrony, Demigod, Traumatic, Carcass, Nirvana 2002 and Asphyx among others – but here exhibited a bulldozing sense of purpose, a crush-at-all-costs momentum teleported from 1992.

And that bulldozer continues its crush unabated with Soulrot‘s second album, Victims of Spiritual Warfare. Utterly gutsfucked as the previous album was, Victims of Spiritual Warfaresees Soulrot upping the urgency and delivering a tone literally worth dying for – if the teleportation stopped at ’92 for Nameless Hideous Manifestations, then this one’s going no further than 1991! Soulrot somehow pull off the trick of being both rawer and more refined here, their songcraft broadening its scope – more patience, more doom, more CRUSH – whilst tastefully unloading quick-hitting bursts of blistering grindcore, altogether still sounding like the same band. But let it be known that this is still classic DEATH FUCKING METAL, same as it ever was, and always will be with Soulrot. Unbelievers will continue to roll their eyes at the familiarity, but just like they did on their debut album, with Victims of Spiritual Warfare do Soulrot utterly convince with their authenticity and passion. If you don’t “get it,” then you don’t know death metal!

Graced with stark cover artwork by Cesar Valladares and another molten mastering job by the esteemed Javier Felez at Moontower Studios, Soulrot‘s Victims of Spiritual Warfarecould very well be their Indecent and Obscene, You’ll Never See…, or especially Harmony Corruption!
