Gallagher (WV) – U.S. Thrash Metal quartet, Executionist, have released full-length debut album, Sacrament of the Sick, on CD and digital formats! In the four years since the release of their debut EP, Executionist has sharpened the blades of its attack, both in terms of songwriting and performance!

Sacrament of the Sick is a monumental step forward from Executionist’s previous material. Improved production, performances, and writing have made the Executionist sound nearly unrecognizable compared to the band’s debut EP, Destined for Destruction.

Each track was meticulously crafted and poured over in Executionist’s home studio, and the final product shows that it was worth every ounce of attention. With a clear focus on melody and tighter songwriting, Sacrament of the Sick is a sonic journey sure to leave a lasting impact on the listener.

DESEKRYPTOR – New EP Sarcophagal Corridors Now Streaming

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on May 16, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

The new EP from DESEKRYPTOR, Sarcophagal Corridors, is now streaming in full via Nuclear Winter Records.

Stream Sarcophagal Corridors HERE.

Marking a bold shift in their creative approach, the band deconstructed their usual songwriting method by starting with drums instead of riffs. Percussionist P.A. recorded raw, unanchored drum tracks that guitarist E.S. then manipulated and smothered with riffs designed to overpower the rhythms. While the unorthodox process could have resulted in utter chaos, it instead gave birth to some of the most refined and structurally cohesive material the band has produced to date.

Sarcophagal Corridors stands as a testament to DESEKRYPTOR’s willingness to experiment without losing sight of the malicious death metal core that defines them.

Track-list:

  1. Penance of Hemorrhaging Wrath
  2. Sarcophagal Corridors
  3. Leprous Exsanguination
  4. Umbilical Stigmata

For nearly a decade, Indiana’s DESEKRYPTOR have been patiently perfecting their craft. In 2017 arrived two demos – Demo 2016 and Chasm of Rot – which were collected together under the title of the latter and released by Blood Harvest Records on cassette later that year. A year later came a split with comrades Draghkar, and the momentum seemed to be in DESEKRYPTOR‘s favor: good ‘n’ gutted death metal, with a bit of a blackened singe. Five years of silence followed until the Curse of the Execrated EP, proving that the quartet had become more poised and powerful during that hiatus.

In 2023, DESEKRYPTOR revealed the full fathom of that poise & power with their debut album, Vortex Oblivion; a churning and spurning vacuum of charred riffing, mangled rhythms, and dread atmosphere

For fans of: Incantation, Immolation, Funebrarum and Triumvir Foul.
