Stream INNUMERABLE FORMS’ “Impulse” HERE.

Profound Lore Records is preparing to drop Pain Effulgence, the third LP from INNUMERABLE FORMS – formed by members of Dream Unending, Sumerlands, Iron Lung, Power Trip, Mammoth Grinder, Genocide Pact, and more.

Pain Effulgence sees INNUMERABLE FORMS founding vocalist Justin DeTore and crew – bassist/guitarist Chris Ulsh, guitarist Jensen Ward, and drummer Connor Donegan, deliver their most powerful tectonic-shifting release yet. Pain Effulgence sees the band elevate the trajectory, initially brought forth with their Punishment In Flesh debut and 2022’s Philosophical Collapse, to a new plateau of megalithic death/doom artistry.

Old-school early ‘90s Finnish death metal coalescing with early ‘90s UK death/doom (citing early-Paradise Lost and Anathema) continues to be the blueprint upon which INNUMERABLE FORMS contrives their sound from, and with Pain Effulgence, it continues to become that much more towering and imposing.

DeTore reveals, “Pain Effulgencechannels raw violence into a deeper meditation. It’s bleak—full of resentment, repression, and spiritual exile, yet there’s a constant refusal to submit. Whether clawing through inner torment (‘Blotted Inside’) or rejecting moral weakness (‘Ressentiment’), the lyrics embody a brutal, unflinching defense of personal dignity.”

The opening song from Pain Effulgence, “Impulse,” arrives as the album’s lead single. With it, DeTore states, “‘Impulse’ represents what INNUMERABLE FORMS has been about since the beginning: angry, dark, death/doom.”

Stream INNUMERABLE FORMS’ “Impulse” everywhere now at THIS LOCATION.

Pain Effulgence will be released August 22nd on CD, LP, MC, and digital formats. Preorders and merch can be found HERE.

Pain Effulgence Track Listing:

  1. Impulse
  2. Indignation
  3. Blotted Inside
  4. Dissonant Drift
  5. Ressentiment
  6. Overwhelming Subjugation
  7. Pain Effulgence
  8. Austerity And Attrition

Pain Effulgence was produced by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy, Tomb Mold) and features art by Katie Muller.

SIX FEET UNDER continues to tour in support of their fourteenth studio album, Killing For Revenge, released last year via Metal Blade Records!

A gnarly beast of a record that’s not for the faint-hearted, Killing For Revenge dishes up nightmare-inducing imagery courtesy of Barnes via the vocalist’s trademark guttural vocals. Both the album title and darkly detailed red-hued album cover by artist Vince Locke are perfect containers for the brutality within.

Forged as a side project for Barnes during his final years with the band that he co-founded, Cannibal Corpse, SIX FEET UNDER became the frontman’s sole focus in 1995, coinciding with the release of their debut, Haunted. Only Barnes remains from SIX FEET UNDER’s original incarnation, but the quality has remained remarkably consistent. The current lineup of Barnes, guitarists Jack Owen (ex-Cannibal Corpse) and Ray Suhy, bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Marco Pitruzzella makes for a devastating unit.

BETRAYME – Mexican Death Metal Force Release New Single “Unnamed”

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

Mexican death metal force BETRAYME return with a vengeance with their brand new single “Unnamed”, out now via Lethal Scissor Records. This marks the band’s first original release since their EP Nihil Obstat and it showcases them at the peak of their creative power.

With “Unnamed”, BETRAYME deliver a furious yet calculated assault, a track that highlights their trademark blend of relentless speed, surgical precision and crushing groove. The band continues to refine a sound that is both technically elaborate and unapologetically heavy, reaffirming their position in the modern death metal landscape.

This new single is not just a return, but a clear statement of intent: BETRAYME are here to push their limits and elevate their craft to new heights.

Stream “Unnamed” HERE.

The band commented:

“‘Unnamed’ is the first single from our upcoming album. This track is the result of an intense production process that spanned several months, during which we collaborated with two highly skilled producers.
Rubén Sánchez of Urvn Studio (Guanajuato, Mexico) was responsible for editing the recorded tracks, using his expertise to help shape our sound. Meanwhile, acclaimed U.S. producer Mike Low took care of mixing and mastering. Mike has worked with bands such as Inferi, Allegaeon, DÅÅTH, Fallujah, and Shadow of Intent, among others. He currently works as an assistant to Dave Otero and Dan Swanö, further reinforcing his experience, one of the key reasons we were eager to collaborate with him in pursuit of the sound we’ve always envisioned”.

Line-up:

Santiago Zamorategui – Drums
Adib Flores – Guitar
Jorge Álvarez – Vocals

RECORRUPTOR – Michigan Death Metal Crew Unleash “Bearing The Befouled Spawn” Single | Third Album Sorrow Will Drown Us All Releases In July

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

RECORRUPTOR have unleashed “Bearing the Befouled Spawn”, the second single from their forthcoming album Sorrow Will Drown Us All, due out July 18th, 2025, via Time To Kill Records.

With this new track, the Michigan based death metal unit doubles down on the crushing weight and surgical precision that define their sound. “Bearing the Befouled Spawn” is a relentless assault – dark and sharpened to a lethal point, showcasing the band’s evolved approach to brutality and atmosphere. Fuelled by blistering riffing and unyielding aggression, the single offers a punishing glimpse into the abyss RECORRUPTOR are prepared to drag listeners through.

Stream “Bearing the Befouled Spawn” now and witness the next chapter in their descent.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/B5Ns1ZQmRQk

Streaming: https://ffm.to/recorruptor-bearing-the-befouled-spawn

The band commented:

“‘Bearing the Befouled Spawn’ is Recorruptor’s sick and twisted tale of a most vile, disgusting birth – a woman forced to birth a vicious, man-eating hellspawn that wreaks havoc upon the unsuspecting public. A conscious, spiteful nod to the current climate of Christian ideologies sending the world into a downwards spiral, so too does this fictitious public face an ultimate doom as a result of their religious beliefs”.

Track-list:

1. Bathe in the Ashes of Heaven
2. Sorrow Will Drown Us All
3. Bearing the Befouled Spawn
4. Within the Vault
5. Urn of Verglas
6. Envenoming
7. An Unnatural Lust
8. Devoured by Centipedes
9. Insidious Rot
10. Putrid Aberration of Malevolent Divinity
11. Death at the Hands of His Image
12. Scourge of Prometheus (Ft. Enrico H. Di Lorenzo of Hideous Divinity)

“Musically, our goal on this EP was to write five songs that could both stand on their own as singles and be cohesive as a collection. As always, we aimed to incorporate many different musical influences and blend them in a succinct way. Over the span of three months, we worked from the demo stages to completion alongside Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, Fallujah, Whitechapel), who co-produced and engineered the EP, to make five tracks that are uniquely ‘ENTHEOS,’ and we are incredibly proud of the result.”

LAST RETCH – Canadian Death Metal Upstarts Sign To Time To Kill Records

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on June 22, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Time To Kill Records is proud to announce the signing of Canadian death metal upstarts LAST RETCH for the release of their second full-length album.

Hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, LAST RETCH have been hard at work crafting a new chapter that promises to command the attention of underground death metal fans worldwide. Blending the bulldozer-like march of war masters Bolt Thrower with the bone-crushing stomp of Cannibal Corpse at their most muscular, the band has forged a sound that’s primed for the chaos of the pit and the raw aggression of the genre’s most punishing traditions.

The new album stands as a testament to LAST RETCH’s dedication to relentless riffing and unflinching heaviness. Details and the first single will be revealed soon, stay tuned!

Line-up:

Finlay Blakelock – Vocals
Matt Fyke – Bass
Spencer Robson – Drums
Derek Brzozowski – Guitar
John Russell – Guitar

Biography:

LAST RETCH first made their mark in early 2021 with a well-received demo that captured their raw, unfiltered sound and quickly drew the attention of underground death metal fans.

In September 2022, LAST RETCH released their debut full-length album, Sadism and Severed Heads” – a savage collection of nine tracks that pushed their sound to new levels of intensity and featured cover artwork by renowned painter Paolo Girardi. Building on this momentum, the band released the Ergotism EP in April 2024, showcasing their evolution with a tighter, even more aggressive sound.

LAST RETCH continues to refine their approach to death metal, never shying away from brutality while adding new layers of depth and atmosphere to their music.

Born of the ashes of Roman Empire, pagan lust for life and philosophical opulence, then demeaned and mortified by the fathers of the one true god.

The Denver-based genre fusing metal quartet CRONOS COMPULSION is preparing to unveil their obliterating chaos in their forthcoming album Lawgiver. Known for their crushing riffs, frenzied rhythms, and a genre-defying blend of death-doom, chaotic metal, and noise-laced breakdowns, CRONOS COMPULSION is ready with a new line-up to enter their next chapter.

The album, set for release on July 11th on digital, CD and LP via Avantgarde Music death metal division Unorthodox Emanations, is a scathing critique of late-stage capitalism as well as humanity’s basest instincts.

Lawgiver – Track List:

  1. Obligate Condition
  2. Maladapt
  3. Gyre of Decaying Filth
  4. Ancestral Remains
  5. Sun Devouring Wound

The album’s first single, “Collapse,” will be released June 27 on all digital platforms. Album pre-orders will be available on the same day.

Collapse of Pattern, Reverence of Dust is a record about erosion — of structures, of certainty, of meaning. Across eight tracks, Cult Burial tears through the frameworks we cling to, carving out something that sits between aggression and despair, weight and absence. The music is dense and layered, yet unafraid of space; at times claustrophobic, at others stripped to bare wire and exposed edge.

Cult Burial‘s music is a confluence of black, death, and doom metal, characterized by dissonant guitar work, relentless drumming, and guttural vocals. Their compositions often explore themes of existentialism, decay, and the human psyche, creating a soundscape that is both oppressive and thought-provoking.

Line-up:

Simon Langford – Music
César Moreira – Vocals

Despite being a relatively new entity, Cult Burial has garnered attention from various metal publications and blogs, earning praise for their authentic approach to extreme metal and their ability to evoke a profound emotional response through their music.

Track Listing:

1. Vincula

2. Collapse

3. Aether

4. Mire

5. Enthrall

6. Beseech

7. Vestige

8. Seethe

Mixed by Greg Dawson at BWC Studios.
Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.

MALTHUSIAN Signs To Relapse Records – New Album, The Summoning Bell, To See Release August 8th | New Video/Single Now Playing

Relapse Records is pleased to welcome Dublin-based death metallers MALTHUSIAN to its esteemed roster. The band will unearth their deathly opus, The Summoning Bell, on August 8th. In advance of the record’s release, today the band unveils a video for the title track.

Comments guitarist/vocalist MB, “We always find something… to give us the impression we exist.”

On their highly anticipated new album, MALTHUSIAN‘s fetid hallmarks are ever present: truly unforgiving, unrelenting death metal.

Watch MALTHUSIAN’s “The Summoning Bell” video, directed by Ray K Media, HERE.

The Summoning Bell will be released on 2xLP, CD, and digital formats. Find preorders at Relapse.com HERE.

Listen to “The Summoning Bell” and presave the full-length HERE.

Swirling chords and ominous cymbal swells give way to the band’s opener “Red, Waiting.” What follows is a flurry of murk and madness – blastbeats pummel against churns of distortion. The sonic atmosphere cultivated by MALTHUSIAN‘s palpable fury is suffocating; each riff carefully crafted to push and pull on the momentum behind their music. The Summoning Bell is undeniably a pitch-black take on the genre.

The Summoning Bell – Track Listing:

  1. Isolation
  2. Red, Waiting
  3. Between Dens And Ruins
  4. The Summoning Bell
  5. The Onset Of The Death Of Man
  6. Eroded Into Superstition
  7. Amongst The Swarms Of Vermin
  8. In Chaos, Exult

The Summoning Bell is a lighting of the pyre. Each of the album’s tracks explore themes of true nothingness, condemnations of superstition, and a profound descent into darkness and time. The end result is a record that seemingly reconciles with a dimming – internal and external, a true end of everything.

MALTHUSIAN:
MB – guitar, vocals
TMK – guitar
FB – bass
JK – drums

Canadian Death Metal Band HARVESTED Announces New Album Dysthymia, With Devastating Music Video “Harvested”

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

Photographer Credit: Kristen Semler – Album Line-up: (L-R) – Jacob Collins – Drums, Vitto Oh – Guitars, Mitchi Dimitriadis – Guitars, Adam Semler – Vocals, Eric Forget – Bass

Dysthymia Out August 1st, 2025

Canadian death metal quartet Harvested is proud to announce their new album Dysthymia, set for release on August 1st, 2025. The nine-track record showcases the band’s evolution from their 2022 demo debut, delivering a devastating blend of technical death metal, brutal death metal, and old-school stylings.

The album announcement comes alongside a music video for the record’s opening track, “Harvested”, offering fans their first glimpse into the dark psychological landscape that defines Dysthymia. The band comments on the track:

“The single represents what the band is about. The old-school death metal influences and the dark realities of mental illness put someone through a tortured experience. This was the first song we worked on for this album and played live, which set the bar for the remaining material. We realized that we were onto something special, and the sheer brute force of the track compelled us to make our current music video.”

“Harvested” maintains the brutality from the demo but shifts toward exploring the psychological aspects of mental illness rather than relying solely on gore. It’s heavier, more aggressive, and showcases the band’s musical abilities in ways they’ve never presented before.

Recorded over nearly three years, Dysthymia features the core lineup of Mitchi Dimitriadis (guitars), Adam Semler (vocals), Eric Forget (bass), and Jacob Collins (drums). The album was produced by Harvested with mixing and mastering by Joe Lyko of Darkmoon Productions, achieving a modern sound while staying rooted in the foundational elements of death metal.

Watch and listen to the first single and music video “Harvested” via its premiere on Decibel Magazine HERE.

BARBAROUS – Oakland Death Metal Henchmen Prepare Debut LP, Initium Mors, For August 1st Release On Creator-Destructor Records | “Tools Of The Trade” Single And Preorders Posted

Stream BARBAROUS’ “Tools Of The Trade” HERE.

Creator-Destructor Records presents Initium Mors, the monstrous debut LP from Oakland, California death metal crew BARBAROUS.

Influenced by the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Skeletal Remains, Necrot, and Gatecreeper, BARBAROUS hit the ground running since coming onto the scene in April 2024, having played shows live alongside the likes of Laceration and others across the Bay Area throughout last Summer. In September, the band released their two-song Coup De Grâce demo to widespread underground acclaim, just a foretaste of the lurking savagery the band was preparing to unload.

BARBAROUS’ merciless full-length debut, Initium Mors, arrives as one of the most devastating records to be delivered so far this year. The band’s classic death metal influences are exemplified though a modern edge of relentless Bay Area energetic destruction, coalescing into eight earthmoving tracks that devastate everything in earshot. 

Initium Mors was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Cody Fuentes in February/March 2025 at Rapture Studios (Spite, Wolf King, Lionheart), and completed with harrowing art by death metal luminary Dan Seagrave (Dismember, Hypocrisy, Morbid Angel).

With the first preview of Initium Mors, “Tools Of The Trade,” Vocalist Travis Laberge states, “‘Tools Of The Trade’ is a song about an evil executioner carrying out his mission. It’s pretty on the nose. I just wanted to write a song that fit both the death metal and medieval vibes of the band. We all felt this was the song to choose as the first single because it sums up the band lyrically and instrumentally as well. I’m a huge fan of Carcass so yeah, the title is a homage to them.”

BARBAROUS’ Initium Mors single “Tools Of The Trade” is now streaming on YouTube HERE and Bandcamp HERE.

Initium Mors will be released on LP, CD, and digital platforms on August 1st. Preorders are now live at the Creator-Destructor webshop HEREand Bandcamp HERE.

Be on the lookout for additional harbingers of the album to arrive over the bleak weeks ahead alongside live announcements and more.

Initium Mors – Track Listing:

  1. Injection Of The Exhumed
  2. By Lead Or Steel
  3. Tools Of The Trade
  4. Initium Mors
  5. The Tomb Spawn
  6. Conscious Decomposition
  7. Anointing The Sick
  8. Coup De Grace

BARBAROUS:
Travis LaBerge – vocals
Thomas Belfiore – guitar
Zachary Weed – guitar, vocals
Zach Jakes – bass
Travis Zupo – drums

MORTUAL – Costa Rican Death Metal Horde To Unleash Debut Album Altar of Brutality, via Nuclear Winter Records

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on May 31, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Rising from the oppressive crypts of Central America, MORTUAL is ready to deliver their most unrelenting statement of intent yet. Following a trilogy of celebrated EPs, the Costa Rican death metal cult will release their long-awaited debut full-length, Altar of Brutality, on LP, CD and MC format on July 4th, 2025 through Nuclear Winter Records.

The first single “Necromancy Ritual” is now streaming HERE.

Spawned in the black rain and pestilent winds of San José, Altar of Brutality is a declaration of total spiritual negation: eight impure hymns steeped in decay, fanatic violence and the iconoclastic hunger to desecrate all that is sacred. Carrying forward the cursed legacy of their previous EP Evil Incarnation, MORTUAL now reach deeper into the void, channeling a darker, more oppressive sound, dripping with heretical intent and sharpened through years of relentless underground devotion.

This is not a reinvention, but a declaration, a brutal affirmation of death metal’s primal force. With Altar of Brutality, MORTUAL summon a vision of spiritual ruin and corporeal decay, wrapped in chains of riffs, blasts and unwavering intensity.

Line-up:

Juan Salas – Guitar, Vocals
Justin Sánchez – Guitar, Vocals
Chalo – Drums

For fans of: Deicide, Mortem, Sadistic Intent, early Monstrosity

Track-list:

01. Mortuary Rites
02. Necromancy Ritual
03. Divine Monstrosity
04. Dominion of Eternal Blasphemy
05. Fiendish Visions
06. Skeletal Vortex
07. Altar of Brutality
08. Ecstasy of Death

Mixed and mastered by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound Studio.
