Recorded by Chris Pierce at Volume IV Studios with additional tracking done at Damaged City Studios, Insatiable Lust For Death was mixed by Kevin Bernsten at Developing Nations, mastered by Nick Townsend at Townsend Mastering, and finished with artwork by Rotting Reign and layout by Aaren Molder.

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.

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.

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.

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 BandcampSpotify, 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:

  6. Wolves Sight
  7. Purest Pain
  8. Carving Flesh

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” 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

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 NecrophagiaMortician, 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 DeadThe 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.

Nameless Grave Records To Release ADUANTEN’S ‘Apocryphal Verse’ On October 24th

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on September 11, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Nameless Grave Records is proud to announce the signing and upcoming release of Apocryphal Verse, the highly anticipated new album from death metal powerhouse ADUANTEN. Featuring members of acclaimed acts Obsequiae, Vex, Panopticon, and Horrendous, ADUANTEN delivers a blistering yet sorrowful masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of the genre. Apocryphal Verse is set for release on October 24th.

Born from a desire to explore the darker, more aggressive side of melodic death metal, ADUANTEN‘s music is a relentless storm of punishing riffs and intricate melodies. While the band’s sonic foundation is built on ferocity, their sound is imbued with a profound sense of melancholic beauty, creating a unique and captivating atmosphere. The band’s lineage, including drummer Eoghan McCloskey of Obsequiae, ensures a level of musicianship and compositional depth that will immediately resonate with fans of sophisticated extreme metal.

On Apocryphal Verse, ADUANTEN masterfully blends the searing aggression of classic death metal with the atmospheric introspection of melodic black metal. Tracks on the album weave a narrative of decay and despair, driven by a maelstrom of intricate guitar work and a pummeling rhythm section. The album’s lyrical themes of destruction, sorrow, and hopelessness are perfectly mirrored in its dynamic and emotionally charged soundscapes.

Apocryphal Verse will be available on all major streaming platforms, as well as physical formats, on October 24th

Fans of Dissection, Sacramentum, and Obsequiae will find ADUANTEN‘s new offering to be an essential addition to their collection.

PILE OF KNIVES: Pennsylvania Death Metal Quintet To Deliver Second EP, Driven By The Blade, October 31st | “Stabbed” Lyric Video And Preorders Posted

Watch PILE OF KNIVES’ “Stabbed” lyric video HERE.

Eastern Pennsylvania-based brutal death metal faction PILE OF KNIVES presents their second EP, Driven By The Blade, confirming the record for release on Halloween and dropping the first single, “Stabbed.”

Based in the Pocono Mountains, PILE OF KNIVES may be a new name to many, but the band’s origins stretch back more than a decade to when guitarist Chett Kolakoski, Lee Messerschmidt, and drummer Dylan “Pickle” Jaludi played together in their prior band, Existence. Following nearly a decade-long hiatus, the band began jamming together again in late 2022.

It didn’t take long for them to realize they wanted to take it a step further and get a new band going. Within a few months, Messerschmidt’s friend Jay Stromeyer was recruited to play bass. Shortly thereafter, Bryan Martinez, formerly of Grimus, was enlisted as the band’s vocalist, and PILE OF KNIVES was born.

Infusing influences from their favorite bands from across the spectrum of death metal, slam, beatdown hardcore, and deathcore. PILE OF KNIVES found their footing and began laying down new demos, and recorded their debut EP, No Light, which was released in the Summer of 2024.

Their relentless groove-laden attack reflects the works of brutal death metal acts Skinless, Dying Fetus, Internal Bleeding, Origin, and Through The Eyes Of The Dead, with the more metallic hardcore-adjacent death/beatdown acts like Crawlspace, Final Resting Place, Shattered Realm, and No Zodiac. Lyrically, Martinez infuses his love of horror films and real-life experiences, reflecting themes centered around regret, self-loathing, and grappling with one’s own flaws.

Upon the release of No LightPILE OF KNIVES was already cultivating new material, some of which now arrives on the band’s second EP, Driven By The Blade. The EP takes the band’s calculated yet unhinged viciousness to further levels of intensity, delivering four new tracks of simply merciless, slamming death. 

Driven By The Blade was recorded, mixed, mastered, and produced by Shaun Werle, with the drums recorded at Soundmine Recording Studio. The cover art and photography are by Giancarlo Bruno and the lyric videos are by Jon Lievano of Malevolent Media Videos. Additionally, the song “Kukri” features guests Anthony Bacola on acoustic guitar and Ben Karas on violin.

With the lead single from the EP, “Stabbed,” Martinez writes, “It’s tough sometimes having to deal with vulnerability, and that’s mostly where I had gained influence from when writing this song. I had to look at myself and accept that I have flaws like the rest of us, and that’s okay. This, mixed with my love for brutal horror films, inspired the single and the remaining songs on the EP.”

Watch PILE OF KNIVES’ “Stabbed” lyric video on YouTube HERE and stream the track on Bandcamp HERE and other digital services HERE.

Driven By The Blade – Track Listing:

  1. Laceration
  2. Shank
  3. Kukri
  4. Stabbed

Driven By The Blade will be released on October 31st. Digital preorders are live HERE. A CD version will be available for preorder shortly through Been There Scene That Records.

Additional lyric videos and an official video from the EP will be playing shortly.

PILE OF KNIVES plays shows throughout the East Coast scene and continues to write music, with their next release already under construction.

DYING REMAINS – Announce Debut Album ‘MERCILESS SUFFERING’ With Gory “Hung And Drawn” Video | Pre-Orders Available TODAY

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, music videos, news with tags , , , , , , on September 6, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Maggot Stomp is proud to announce the debut full-length album from death metal upstarts Dying Remains. Merciless Suffering is set for release on Friday, September 19th. The band has also unleashed a chilling new music video for the track “Hung and Drawn,” which can be viewed HERE.

Merciless Suffering is a masterclass in songwriting, delivering an uncompromising blend of crushing brutality and catchy, well-crafted moments that mold together into a monolithic force. This is death metal for those who appreciate the genre’s time-tested foundation. Dying Remains brings together seminal sounds reminiscent of acts like Morta Skuld, Jungle Rot, and Obituary while still keeping things fresh and exciting for a new generation of death metal to take root.

The video for “Hung and Drawn” was directed by Aron Diaz and serves as a visual companion to the album’s core lyrical themes. Drawing heavily from ’70s and ’80s B-grade gore films, the video is a short horror film that depicts one gruesome segment from the album’s over-arching story of a sprawling torture chamber. The band, all avid fans of the horror genre, wanted to bring this macabre vision to life, and the result is a truly unsettling and memorable piece of art.

Pre-orders for Merciless Suffering are available now at: the Official Maggot Stomp Store.

RITUAL MASS – Cascading Misery, The Debut LP By Ominous Pittsburgh Death Metal Quartet, Now Streaming In Its Entirety | Album To Be Released This Friday On 20 Buck Spin

Stream RITUAL MASS’ Cascading Misery HERE.

Cascading Misery, the suffocating and ominous debut album from Pittsburgh-based death metal quartet RITUAL MASS, is now streaming ahead of its release this Friday on 20 Buck Spin.

The debut full-length album from RITUAL MASS is more than a collection of songs, it’s a series of calculated assaults on the virtue of the holy. Evolving beyond earlier EP and demo releases, Cascading Misery encapsulates the bludgeoning infliction of pain and the slow peel of skin by flame, rife with both sonic chaos and extinguished hope.

From the outset of album opener “Obsidian Mirror,” the atmosphere is oppressive, thick with a suffocating malaise. There is a sense of something ceremonial at work but not in a way that seeks communion. Rather it’s ordeal as sacrament. Riffs strangle and churn into convulsive submission, oscillating from slow agony to psychotic break, over which a guttural lament so savage it freezes the blood is wrenched through dungeon stone.

Each track unfolds like time spent in isolation, bound by chains, the mind slowly unraveling and surrounded by memories of torment both real and imagined. By the time the epic 14-minute album closer “Disquiet” dissipates into a mass of formless static, RITUAL MASS has dragged you into a world where suffering is not an end but a condition of existence. Cascading Misery is music for the dissolution of hope, the terror of being, and the long march toward death.

Cascading Misery was engineered by Greg Wilkinson at Mr. Smalls Recording Studio in Pittsburgh, with vocal tracking engineered by John Kerr, and mixed/mastered by Wilkinson at his Earhammer Studios in Oakland (Ulthar, Autopsy, Undergang, Vastum). The cover painting, logo, and layout were done by RITUAL MASS’s P. Trona with additional artwork by Bo Orr and Erik Von Bartholomaus and 35mm photography by J. Adams.

Stream RITUAL MASS’ Cascading Misery in its consuming entirety early on YouTube RIGHT HERE.

The signing of RITUAL MASS to the 20 Buck Spin roster marks the first band from the label’s current base in Pittsburgh. For fans of Vastum, Krypts, Phrenelith, Master, Incantation, Abhorrence, Funebrarum, and Disembowelment, RITUAL MASS must be heard.

Cascading Misery will be released on LP, CD, MC, and digitally this Friday, September 5th. Find preorder options at the 20 Buck Spin webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE.

RITUAL MASS Live:

SEASON OF THE DEAD – Horror-Drenched Death Metal Act Signs With Time To Kill Records

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

Time To Kill Records is proud to announce the signing of SEASON OF THE DEAD, the visceral, horror-obsessed death metal project featuring an all-star cast from across the underground. 

The band promise a debut release that will feel like a lost VHS nightmare brought to life. More details on the upcoming record will be revealed soon.

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 NecrophagiaMortician, 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 DeadThe 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

SEASON OF THE DEAD is more than just music – it’s a blood-drenched ritual, a sonic horror film where every track unfolds like a scene filled with gore, possession, necromancy, and decay. It’s a love letter to the most disturbing, iconic side of horror and death metal, one meant to be played loud… with the lights off.

About SCORCHING TOMB:
Born in the sewers of Montreal, Canada, in 2018, SCORCHING TOMB began with the aim of blending old fashioned death metal and modern hardcore together in a city where technical death metal reigns supreme. It didn’t take long for the band to make a name in the underground. Fast old school riffs, pummeling mosh parts, and an energetic stage presence quickly saw SCORCHING TOMB gain attention, especially in the hardcore scene.

Initially formed by tattoo artist Vincent PL on vocals and axeman Philippe Leblanc, ST has now its hardest lineup to date by adding Miguel Lepage (ex- BLIND WITNESS, ex- OBEY THE BRAVE) on bass and Émile Savard (PROFANE ORDER, ex- MALEBRANCHE) on drums. 

Striving to follow in the footsteps of CRYPTOPSY, QUO VADIS and DESPISED ICON, SCORCHING TOMB seek to show the world that Montreal is still to this day an unrelenting force of death metal.

“We deeply regret any disappointment this causes to fans, promoters, and venues, but Vincent’s long-term health is our top priority. All commitments will be revisited when he has completed his recovery, and we look forward to bringing the music back to the stage.”
