ABYSMAL DESCENT – Belgian Death Metallers Premiere “Dismal Thoughts” Debut LP

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, news with tags , , , , , on October 29, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

The debut album from Belgian death metallers ABYSMAL DESCENT, Dismal Thoughts, is now streaming in full exclusively via Death Metal Promotion. A monolithic statement of death metal, the record stands as a jagged and menacing work: cold, unyielding and built on unshakable foundations.

Stream it at THIS LOCATION.

From the depths of Brussels’ death metal underground rises ABYSMAL DESCENT, a new entity forged from the ashes of Dehuman and strengthened by the twisted visions of R.S., L.L. (Putrid Offal, Echo Solar Void, Terrifiant) and M.D. (Echo Solar Void). Soon joined by R.M. (Neptunian Maximalism) and A.L. (Saqra’s Cult), the band completed a sinister line-up dedicated to conjuring a harrowing requiem of death metal.

Their debut full-length, Dismal Thoughts, will be released via Nuclear Winter Records on October 31st, 2025, a suitably unholy date for this descent into sonic darkness. Drawing inspiration from legendary forces such as Immolation, Morbid Angel, and Incantation, the album weaves a tapestry of gloom and malevolence, crushing riffs and abyssal atmospheres.

Dismal Thoughts is a testament to death metal’s most oppressive traditions: a record that drips with menace, channeling both the cavernous weight of old-school brutality and the suffocating dread of modern extremity. It is a soundtrack to decay, despair, and the shadows that loom ever closer.

Prepare to be engulfed.

Track-list:

  1. Discordant Calls
  2. Labyrinth of Distress
  3. Death Rope
  4. Dismal Thoughts
  5. Obscured Visions
  6. Fragmented Soul
  7. Abyss of Despair
  8. Imaginal Horror

Line-up:

Laye Louhenapessy – Drums
Martin Dozot – Guitar
Rafaël Sellekaerts – Guitar
Romain Martini – Bass
Adrien Luxen – Vocals

INGESTED – UK Death Metal Stalwarts Drop “Nefarious Tongues” Video/Single | Band To Kick Off North American Headlining Tour Next Month

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Extreme Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on October 23, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Watch INGESTED’s video for “Nefarious Tongues” HERE.

UK death metal stalwarts, INGESTED, today drop their new stand-alone single: “Nefarious Tongues.”

Lyrically, the punishing track explores the decay of morality in a world consumed by vanity and self-interest. It reflects on the way society devours itself through ego and exploitation, as if we’re willingly feeding the very forces that will destroy us. It’s both a condemnation and a reminder of how easily we can lose sight of what truly matters.

Musically, it blends modern death metal riffing with hardcore-infused grooves, delivered at a measured mid-tempo that lets the riffs and drums breathe while giving space for the vocals to cut through with full impact. The structure stays tight and purposeful, building toward pointed, heavy-hitting moments that hit with absolute finality.

Watch INGESTED’s video for “Nefarious Tongues” HERE.

Stream/purchase the track at metalblade.com/ingested.

Alongside the release of “Nefarious Tongues,” INGESTED has launched a limited T-shirt designed around the single’s themes of moral decay and self-destruction. Featuring artwork by Rudi Gorgingsuicide, the piece captures the song’s bleak atmosphere; direct, unsettling, and grounded in the world it reflects.

It’s available now exclusively from the official INGESTED Indiemerchstore.

INGESTED’s latest single comes in advance of the band’s North American headlining tour. Evisceratour 2025 runs from November 6th in Fresno, California through December 6th in Pomona, California. Additional support will be provided by Distant, Ov Sulfur, Cell, and Crucifiction.

TENEBRO – Italian Death Metal Horror Masters Unveil New Single “Impiccata”

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on October 20, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Italian death metallers TENEBRO are set to unleash their new album Una Lama D’Argento on December 12th, 2025 via Time To Kill Records.

Continuing their morbid devotion to the putrid sounds of classic horror and old school death metal, the band promises another slab of grotesque heaviness. The record features a striking cover artwork created by Julian Ibanez, perfectly capturing the nightmarish essence and macabre storytelling that have become TENEBRO’s signature traits.

The first single “Impiccata” is available now:

YouTube: https://youtu.be/ojZep_CBW6M

Streaming: https://ffm.to/tenebro-impiccata

The band commented:

“The first single, ‘Impiccata’, strikes with relentless intensity: a fast, uncompromising track that mirrors the shocking imagery of Dario Argento’s Suspiria. Inspired by the infamous hanging scene, the song channels the sense of sudden, inescapable terror that erupts without warning. With its direct, no-frills approach, ‘Impiccata’ captures the essence of Tenebro’s sound: sharp, immediate, and merciless, like a blade cutting through silence”.

With their horrific and claustrophobic death metal, TENEBRO reaffirm themselves as one of the most uncompromising and distinctive acts in the Italian extreme underground, ready to push even further with this new work.

With “Una Lama D’Argento”, TENEBRO take their most extreme and visionary step yet: an entire album conceived as a tribute to Dario Argento, the undisputed master of horror, giallo and thriller cinema.
Eleven tracks that are not just songs, but episodes of a single nightmare, a journey through the dark and obsessive atmospheres of the films that shaped cinema history: Deep Red (1975), Suspiria (1977), Inferno (1980), Tenebre (1982), Phenomena (1985), and Opera (1987).

TENEBRO translate Argento’s universe into sound: riffs sharp as blades, guttural vocals emerging from the darkness, relentless drumming, and atmospheres shifting between pure violence and suffocating tension. Iconic scenes such as the mirror revealing the killer in Deep Red, the brutal mutilation in Tenebre, or the larva-filled bathtub finale in Phenomena are transformed into brutal, immersive sonic attacks, capturing the full horror and tension of the films.

Track-list:

1. Inferno
2. L’angelo Caduto Tra Le Luci Del Teatro
3. Impiccata
4. Sangue Sui Muri
5. Lo Specchio… Omicida.
6. Il Corpo Come Spartito
7. Piume Rosse
8. Appare ala Bambola, Poi La Lama
9. Larve Affamate
10. Nel Sonno Della Veggente
11. Jennifer

Preorders:

https://timetokillrecords.com/collections/tenebro-una-lama-dargento

https://tenebrohorror.bandcamp.com/album/tenebro-una-lama-dargento

As with every album, TENEBRO continue to evolve, introducing new symphonies, styles, and melodies, while remaining distinctly separate from the wider underground scene. Their music explores new horizons without ever betraying the pulsating heart that has always defined their sound: extreme, theatrical, and viscerally horror-driven.

In Una Lama D’Argento, TENEBRO do not merely evoke Argento’s universe: they embody it, rewriting his obsessions in Giallo Metal. It is an album that cuts, tears, and leaves no room for respite.
Una Lama D’Argento is not just an album: it is a sonic nightmare, a visceral tribute to the cinema that taught us to love fear.

Line-up:

Il Becchino – Guitars, Vocals
Il Beccamorto – Bass, Drums, Guitars

DISSENTIENCE Unleashes First Single “Obsidian Tomb” From Upcoming EP Kaiju

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on October 12, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Bethlehem, PA metal act DISSENTIENCE has released “Obsidian Tomb,” the crushing first single from their forthcoming concept EP Kaiju, due out February 20, 2026, accompanied by a brand-new lyric video available below:

DISSENTIENCE “Obsidian Tomb” – https://youtu.be/LfkYsbFSZfA

A blistering blend of thrash aggression, death metal precision, and cinematic atmosphere, “Obsidian Tomb” serves as the opening chapter in Kaiju’s apocalyptic narrative. The song begins with a somber acoustic passage before erupting into a relentless assault of blast beats, crushing riffs, and haunting melodies. Lyrically, the track captures the first moments of devastation as a colossal, nameless monster emerges from the depths to annihilate an unsuspecting city.

Rather than grounding the story in a specific place or era, DISSENTIENCE leaves the monster and setting deliberately vague, allowing listeners to project their own fears into the music. The result is a track that feels as timeless as it is terrifying.

Kaiju – Track-list:

  1. Obsidian Tomb    
  2. Chaos Absolute    
  3. Kaiju    
  4. Death Shroud

Kaiju is a four-track concept EP inspired by Japanese monster cinema and Lovecraftian horror. Produced by the band alongside Corey Pierce, the record was engineered by Matt Menafro at Peach Pie Sound, mixed by Zeuss, and mastered by Alan Douches. The full EP will be released independently on digital and CD formats.

About DISSENTIENCE: 

Formed in 2013 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, DISSENTIENCE is a progressive death-thrash metal band that combines the technical precision of death metal with the relentless energy of thrash. Rejecting retro imitation and genre stagnation, the band creates forward-thinking metal that is both aggressive and dynamic.

Drawing influence from bands like TRIVIUM, REVOCATION, SYLOSIS, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, DEATH, and LAMB OF GOD, DISSENTIENCE forges a sound built on sharp riffs, crushing rhythms, and inventive songwriting.

The lineup features Connor Valentin on guitar and vocals, James Vitale on guitar, Sean Langer on bass, and Nick Scherden on drums. Known for their intense live performances and refusal to be confined to a single subgenre, the band continuously pushes their sound in new directions. Their music balances chaos and melody while exploring dark themes through a modern lens.

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on October 12, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

REDIVIDER, the Louisville-based death metal band known for their blend of old school brutality and modern aggression, has released their debut single “Sounds of Malice” on all streaming platforms. The track is the first offering from their forthcoming full-length album Sounds of Malice, which will be released on January 9, 2026 through Third House Communications.

“Sounds of Malice” introduces listeners to REDIVIDER’s punishing sound and fantasy-driven lyrical style. The song tells the story of a deranged wizard addicted to Liquid Pain, a dark substance harvested from human suffering. Vocalist Jacob Spencer’s delivery is both guttural and deliberate, carried by twisting guitar riffs, time signature shifts, and melodic dissonance.

The full-length album Sounds of Malice will feature seven tracks written with live performance in mind, each exploring themes of death, ritual, and myth. Recorded between Round Table Recording Company and Michael Kent O’Bryan Studio, the album was engineered by Michael Kent O’Bryan and Brian “Bone” Thorburn, mixed by Paul Nunavath, and mastered by Dan Swano at Unisound. The result is a record that captures REDIVIDER’s intense live presence while delivering clarity and depth.

Sounds of Malice Track-list:

  1. Quartered & Devoured    
  2. Sounds of Malice    
  3. Shackled to Existence    
  4. Apocalyptic Waste    
  5. Fratricide    
  6. Bask in the Rot
  7. Left To Rot

REDIVIDER:

  • Jacob Spencer – Vocals
  • Paul Nunavath – Guitar
  • Jake Atha – Guitar
  • Alexander Farrington – Bass
  • Mike Hargrave – Drums (live)

About REDIVIDER:

REDIVIDER is a death metal band from Louisville, Kentucky, formed in 2021 by vocalist Jacob Spencer and guitarist Paul Nunavath. Joined by guitarist Jake Atha and bassist Alexander Farrington, the band draws influence from the early Florida death metal scene and bands like CANNIBAL CORPSE, MORBID ANGEL, DEATH, and GORGUTS.

With a sound rooted in old school brutality and layered with modern aggression, REDIVIDER combines guttural vocals, dissonant riffs, and relentless groove to create music that is both violent and immersive.

The band made their live debut in 2022 and quickly gained recognition in the underground scene, sharing stages with acts such as CREEPING DEATH, CRYPTA, MASSACRE, COGNITIVE, and SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY.

Their debut album Sounds of Malice is a conceptually rich, sonically punishing record that blends fantasy-driven storytelling with crushing heaviness. Written with live performance in mind, REDIVIDER’s music thrives on tension, rhythm, and unapologetic intensity, death metal built to be felt as much as heard.

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on September 26, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Title Track, Preorders, And Tour Dates With All Shall Perish Posted

Stream TORTURE HAMMER’s “Torture Hammer” HERE.

Santa Cruz, California-based death metal squad TORTURE HAMMER will attack the population with their cruel, eponymous second EP through Creator-Destructor Records on October 24th.

After writing and releasing 2024’s Dormant Horror debut EP as a two-piece, TORTURE HAMMER vocalist Peter Pawlak and guitarist Sean Collins added drummer Max Mahmood (Iron Front, Manos De Fierro) and bassist Amir Sahabi (Caveman). With this fully fleshed-out lineup in place, the band stepped-up their game in every way on Torture Hammer.

The six tracks on Torture Hammer see the band’s attack fueled with even more aggression and antagonism, delivering their most deadly material to date. Torture Hammer was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Charles Toshio at Panda Studios in Fremont, California (Spy, Sunami, and Scowl) and completed with cover art by Martyrdoom Illustrations (200 Stab Wounds, Kruelty, Morbid Visionz).

The title track acts as the lead single to the eponymous EP; an endless onslaught of headbanging riffs leads the listener through a hellish scene before culminating in a traumatic, mosh-inducing breakdown finale.

Feel the pain of TORTURE HAMMER’s “Torture Hammer” now on YouTube HERE and Bandcamp HERE.

Torture Hammer will be released on 12” vinyl, CD, and digitally on October 24th. Preorders are live at the Creator-Destructor webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE.

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, deathcore, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on September 26, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Montreal (QC) – Canadian bruisers, Deadwood, have signed to Innerstrength Records! The band is set to release their new EP, Rituals of a Dying Light, on January 6, 2026.

A music video for the EP’s first single,”Heretic,” is available at: youtu.be/qd3b7p4zTug

“Heretic” can also be found on the usual streaming platforms, including Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.

Deadwood uniquely blends death metal and hardcore to create a modern deathcore sound. Known for their heavy music and dark lyrics, their motto is “Make Deathcore Angry Again.” The band aims to evoke terror and fear through their music, ensuring their performances are unforgettable. Most importantly, the music of Deadwood caters to enthusiastic metalheads who crave pure brutality and violence.

The EP’s second single, “Tales of Masscacre,” is set to be unleashed with lethal intent on October 17.

Track Listing:

  1. Tales of Massacre
  2. Heretic
  3. Thirst for Blood
  4. Whispers of Death
  5. Echoes of the Fallen

Music and lyrics by Deadwood. Recorded at EMNT studio January 2025. Produced by Fred Element. Mix and mastering by Fred Element.

Formed in the shadow of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Deadwood quickly carved out a place in the heavy scene with their dark, unrelenting sound. The lineup unites seasoned veterans: guitarist Fred (ex-The Plasmarifle, ex-Ion Dissonance), guitarist Stéphane (ex-Nova Spei, Iron Maiden tribute), drummer Charles (ex-Dismayd, Discovrey Through Tourment), and vocalist Derek, reuniting with Fred after a decade since their days in Malaga.

Drawing from the ferocity of Meshuggah, the brutality of Whitechapel and the groove-driven power of Pantera, Deadwood deliver crushing riffs and haunting atmospheres steeped in true dark histories, from the Salem witch trials to the reign of Jack the Ripper.

Their catalog includes the EP Nemesis (2022), EP Inhuman (2023), and standout singles “Straightblade” (June 2023), “Djinn Pitts” (March 2024), and “Heretic” (April 2025).

ABYSMAL DESCENT – Belgian Death Metallers To Release Dismal Thoughts Debut LP via Nuclear Winter Records

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on September 25, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

From the depths of Brussels’ death metal underground rises ABYSMAL DESCENT, a new entity forged from the ashes of Dehuman and strengthened by the twisted visions of R.S., L.L. (Putrid Offal, Echo Solar Void, Terrifiant) and M.D. (Echo Solar Void). Soon joined by R.M.(Neptunian Maximalism) and A.L. (Saqra’s Cult), the band completed a sinister line-up dedicated to conjuring a harrowing requiem of death metal.

Their debut full-length, Dismal Thoughts, will be released via Nuclear Winter Records on October 31st, 2025, a suitably unholy date for this descent into sonic darkness. Drawing inspiration from legendary forces such as Immolation, Morbid Angel, and Incantation, the album weaves a tapestry of gloom and malevolence, crushing riffs and abyssal atmospheres.

The first single, the title track “Dismal Thoughts” is now streaming HERE.

Dismal Thoughts is a testament to death metal’s most oppressive traditions: a record that drips with menace, channeling both the cavernous weight of old-school brutality and the suffocating dread of modern extremity. It is a soundtrack to decay, despair, and the shadows that loom ever closer. Prepare to be engulfed.

Track-list:

  1. Discordant Calls
  2. Labyrinth of Distress
  3. Death Rope
  4. Dismal Thoughts
  5. Obscured Visions
  6. Fragmented Soul
  7. Abyss of Despair
  8. Imaginal Horror

Line-up:

Laye Louhenapessy – Drums
Martin Dozot – Guitar
Rafaël Sellekaerts – Guitar
Romain Martini – Bass
Adrien Luxen – Vocals

Vader’s Peter Wiwczarek shared:

“VADERMANIAX!!! We ended the summer concert season with three concerts in the last weekend of August. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH for wonderful moments and total craziness and Massive Music for organization and great atmosphere on all trips in the summer season 2025.

All the stage photos by Adam Sieklicki

These were also the last concerts in 2025 in Poland and Europe. Upcoming plans are the Carnival of Death Tour in the USA and Canada in October. Because we and Massive Music are still receiving inquiries about more concerts in Poland, we will try to organize one more weekend in December this year. I hope that in 2026, we will see each other more often at the common craziness in our country. It will be the 20th anniversary of the album Impressions In Blood.

All the stage photos by Adam Sieklicki

We will also like to remind you of the wider Kingdom (expect a new edition of this title soon). There are also plans for something special that we haven’t done before… but let’s wait for the specifics. The new Vader album will definitely be made next year – but let’s rather expect the release at the beginning of 2027. Below is a memento KAT cover from the concert in Zamo Pć in August shared from the Janusz Bb collection. Thanks.”

Featuring members of Baring Teeth, Pyrrhon, and more

Death metal outfit UMULAMAHRI will unleash its debut album, Learning the Secrets of Acid, this fall on Ordovician Records.

Pushing the limits of extreme music into stranger and more corrosive territories, UMULAMAHRI is comprised of a formidable lineup of underground innovators. The band features Andrew Hawkins of Baring Teeth and Doug Moore of Pyrrhon, Seputus, Glorious Depravity, and Weeping Sores. Session drummer Kevin Paradis adds his trademark percussive firepower to the band’s sound.

Learning the Secrets of Acid is a densely cerebral excursion into warped riffs, fractured rhythms, and unyielding intensity. The album redefines the framework of death metal, crafting something volatile, unpredictable, and deeply unsettling.

This becomes evident after listening to the EP’s lead single, “Orifice Invocation.” Listen now on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.

Texas Hateful Death Metal Outfit CALCRAFT, to Release Reborn Through Torture Album on Lifeforce Records

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on September 21, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Satisfying Strangulation Single/Video Out Now!

Texas-based hateful Death Metal outfit, CALCRAFT, recently signed to Lifeforce Records, are set to release their debut album, Reborn Through Torture, on November 21st (physical release January 30th).

With the uncompromising credo “Unrelenting death metal. No trends. No mercy.” CALCRAFT define their sound and with their debut album “Reborn Through Torture” they deliver a merciless statement against anything watered-down or trend-driven.

The Texas-based outfit stands for raw, hate-fueled death metal, deeply rooted in the legacy of Immolation, Suffocation, and Incantation. But CALCRAFT go further: their songs are steeped in dark atmosphere, thrashy aggression, and a cinematic violence that feels ripped straight from the bloodiest scenes of Giallo and slasher films.

Their name is no coincidence. William Calcraft, England’s infamous executioner, serves as a grim source of inspiration. Like their namesake, CALCRAFT show no mercy: their music is an auditory noose, each track an execution. Reborn Through Torture is a blood-soaked manifesto of riffs, madness, and horror, dragging the listener into a world of pain and cinematic carnage.

Each song tells a story of insanity, torture, and final breaths. CALCRAFT don’t aim to entertain, they aim to disturb. Their goal is to create a threatening sonic landscape that sounds like “a blood-soaked soundtrack to the final scene you never survive.”

Those who face this album won’t be spared. CALCRAFT hold themselves to their own brutal standard and deliver death metal in its most relentless, uncompromising form.

The album’s first single, “Satisfying Strangulation” is available now on all digital platforms:

https://orcd.co/calcraft_sast

Pre-Order / Pre-Save Reborn Through Torture here:

https://orcd.co/calcraft_rtt

Track Listing:

  1. Satisfying Strangulation
  2. Fuck Blade
  3. Slovakian Carnage
  4. Perpetually Stabbed
  5. Interlude
  6. Wolves Sight
  7. Purest Pain
  8. Carving Flesh
  9. Outro

VINTERSEA – New Single/Music Video “Become The Wave” Online Now

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on September 18, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

VINTERSEA return with another fantastic new song and video for their latest composition “Become The Wave.” The Portland-based outfit, fronted by new vocalist Kayla Dixon, are currently one of the most inspiring and adventurous groups bubbling under.

“If ‘Celestial Abscission’ was our big bang out of the gate to show the world what VINTERSEA can do with our new vocalist (Kayla Dixon), ‘Become the Wave’ is a statement about where VINTERSEA is headed and what we want our music to represent,” states guitarist Riley Nix. “In some ways it is a return to form – melodic, brutal, groovy, and inspiring – but it is also different from anything you have heard from us before. Kayla brought huge energy, heartfelt performances, and some really unique tones that drove the song in a fresh direction from the outset.“

Listen to “Become the Wave” and “Celestial Abscission” now on all streaming/download platforms or watch the stunning music video crafted by bassist Karl Whinnery.

“I am super excited for people to scope out the video for ‘Become the Wave.’ We built a unique set in my garage, explored epic locations at the Oregon Coast, and tried a few things we have never done before,” explains Karl. “This is classic VINTERSEA, but with some new moves. Kayla crushed the vocal performance, and used techniques I’ve never heard before. We’ve played this song live on our last couple of tours, and it kills every show. I can’t wait for you all to hear what we can do.“

“BECOME THE WAVE” MUSIC VIDEO:

“CELESTIAL ABSCISSION” MUSIC VIDEO:

Become The Wave” was engineered and mixed by Gabe Johnston (Unto Others, Silver Talon) at Falcon Recording Studio and mastered by Troy Glessner (Devin Townsend, Underoath, Moonsorrow) at SPECTRE Mastering. The two singles are the beginnings of a new VINTERSEA album.

In the meantime, the band’s catalog – The Gravity of Fall (2017), Illuminated (2019) and Woven Into Ashes (2023) are all available at our webstore or Bandcamp here: https://vintersea.bandcamp.com/

VINTERSEA:
Kayla Dixon – Vocals
Riley Nix – Guitar
Jorma Spaziano – Guitar
Karl Whinnery – Bass
Jeremy Spencer – Drums

VINTERSEA create a unique fusion of majestic progressive metal with harsh blackened death and post-metal beauty which draws inspiration from the darkened skies of their Pacific Northwest home. VINTERSEA delivers heavy, emotionally powerful and technically intriguing music that is undeniably inspired by the majesty of their surroundings.

The group built an organic and devoted following through impeccable and illustrious music videos (with combined views of over 5 million), social media outreach and tours with Moonspell, Eleine, Oceans of Slumber, Dawn of Ouroboros, Graveshadow, Voices of Ruin, as well as playing regionally opening for Bloodywood, Lord Dying, Anciients, Cyborg Octopus, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Obscura, Thulcandra, Wolfheart, Ne Obliviscaris, Jinger, The Ocean, Arkona and Sirenia.

SEASON OF THE DEAD – New Death Metal Visionary Project To Release Zombie Chronicles Vol. 1 Debut LP, In November

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Extreme Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, music videos, news with tags , , , , , , on September 15, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Time To Kill Records is set to unleash Zombie Chronicles Vol. 1, the highly anticipated debut album from horror-obsessed death metal collective SEASON OF THE DEAD, on November 14th, 2025.

The first single “Then We’ll Rise” is now available:

YouTube: https://youtu.be/IVeI2FHm82o

Streaming: https://ffm.to/seasonofthedead-then-well-rise

The band comments:

“This track is inspired by Romero’s masterpiece ‘Day of the Dead’, featuring related audio contributions.
Continuing the tradition started by Killjoy, whom we take inspiration from, the lyrics are entirely dedicated to the film’s imagery extreme violence and near-realism.
The invitation ‘EAT…’ recalls one of the final scenes that made the movie so iconic. Of course, this also embraces the great director’s vision of awakening consciences, a hallmark of his cinematic legacy”.

SEASON OF THE DEAD is a visceral, cinematic extreme metal project born from the twisted minds of Titta Tani (former drummer of Necrophagia and Goblin), Giacomo Anselmi (former Goblin guitarist and current member of Goblin Legacy), and Enrico Giannone, founder and owner of Time To Kill Records, acting as producer and visionary behind the entire concept.

The idea is as brutal as it is clear: to resurrect the blood-soaked legacy of horror-infused death metal, channeling the rotten spirit of bands like Necrophagia, Mortician, and Fulci, while paying tribute to the grotesque imagery and raw energy of cult underground horror films. Influences range from Killjoy to City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and Cannibal Holocaust, creating a soundscape that feels like a soundtrack to a lost VHS splatter nightmare.

The project boasts an all-star lineup from the international extreme music scene:

John McEntee (Incantation) – Vocals

Fiore Stravino (Fulci) – Vocals

Dave Neabore (Dog Eat Dog) – Bass

Chuck Sherwood (Incantation) – Bass

Giacomo Anselmi (Goblin Legacy) – Guitars

Titta Tani (ex Goblin, ex Necrophagia) – Drums

Track-list:

1. Necromancy | Titta Tani: drums, keyboards / Giacomo Anselmi: guitar / Andrea Gianangeli: percussions

2. Then We’ll Rise | J. McEntee: vocals / C. Sherwood: bass / Titta Tani: drums / Giacomo Anselmi: guitar

3. Voodoo Ritual | J. McEntee: vocals / C. Sherwood: bass / Titta Tani: drums / Giacomo Anselmi: guitar

4. Events Of Flesh | F. Stravino: vocals / D. Neabore: bass / Titta Tani: drums / Giacomo Anselmi: guitar

5. Open The Gates | F. Stravino: vocals / D. Neabore: bass / Titta Tani: drums / Giacomo Anselmi: guitar

6. The Other Side | J. McEntee: vocals / C. Sherwood: bass / Titta Tani: drums / Giacomo Anselmi: guitar

7. Burning Moon Sickness | J. McEntee: vocals / C. Sherwood: bass / Titta Tani: drums / Giacomo Anselmi: guitar

8. Bloodfreak | J. McEntee: vocals / C. Sherwood: bass / Titta Tani: drums / Giacomo Anselmi: guitar

Across its running time, the album delivers a relentless assault of death metal brutality, layered with cinematic tension and ritualistic atmospheres. Dual vocal performances, crushing basslines, and necro-sounding guitar work create a soundscape where zombies, decay and gore come to life in audio form.
