Canadian Death Metal Gladiators EX DEO Release “Galba” Lyric Video

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

After the triumphant release of their recent critically acclaimed EP Year of the Four Emperors, Canadian Death Metal gladiators EX DEO have just released a lyric video for “Galba“. The song is a ferocious opener for the EP that showcases exactly why they are considered to be at the forefront of the genre. 

The band says about the track: “Galba rises from the ashes of Nero’s reign, a tyrant cloaked in the guise of savior. The track mirrors his ruthless ascent, dominated by unrelenting riffs and venomous proclamations of power. His insatiable hunger for wealth and domination sets the tone for the chaos to follow. As the walls of Rome close in, the Praetorian Guard turns against him in a violent crescendo, heralding his downfall. Galba’s story is a chilling testament to hubris and betrayal.”

Watch the video HERE: https://youtu.be/IdCzIiEs7hg

The EP is currently available on both CD and as an extremely limited edition vinyl directly from Reigning Phoenix Music. Order/Listen to The Year Of The Four Emperors HERE: https://exdeo.rpm.link/yotfeP

Track Listing: 

  1. Galba    
  2. Otho        
  3. Vitellius        
  4. Vespasian

CORPUS OFFAL – Debut LP From Menacing Death Metal Act Formed By Cerebral Rot, Bell Witch, Fetid Members Now Streaming | Album Out Friday On 20 Buck Spin | Extensive US Tour Nears

Stream CORPUS OFFAL’s Corpus Offal HERE.

20 Buck Spin’s first release of 2025 arrives, as the harrowing eponymous debut LP from Austin, Texas-based death metal quartet CORPUS OFFAL is being prepared for release this Friday.

The unexpected demise of Cerebral Rot came swiftly after two renowned cult albums. Yet just as expediently, a malodorous new organism arose in its place, CORPUS OFFAL. Still featuring Cerebral Rot’s rancid core of guitarist/vocalist Ian Schwab (ex-Demoncy) and guitarist Clyle Lindstrom (Fetid, Caustic Wound), the CORPUS OFFAL rhythm section of bassist Jason Sachs (ex-Demoncy) and drummer Jesse Shreibman (Bell Witch) now summons intensely elevated waves of stomach-churning nausea.

photos by Chris Eaton

After last year’s demo defloration, CORPUS OFFAL presents its eponymous full-length, erupting like a festering corpse dragged from a midnight sewer; putrid, pulverizing and perversely invigorating.

A bludgeoning autopsy of death metal, gore, and deathgrind, the low-tuned grooves, discordant leads, and mid-tempo rumble of Cerebral Rot is evident in tracks like “Spinous Forms Of Mortal Abhorrence” and the title track while setting the bar for a melted transformation into more ghastly liquified forms.

The gargling slime vox of Schwab are dangerously radioactive, summoned straight from the sealed basement of a nuked morgue narrating a splatter-fest of morbid poetry, decomposing flesh, absurd experiments, and gruesome transgression. Each song plays out like a medical examiner’s case file crossed with the fevered ramblings of a psychopath, precise in its anatomical horror and repugnant in its bizarre depravity.

Consecrated with an impossibly heavy Billy Anderson production, by the time CORPUS OFFAL reaches its cataclysmic conclusion, you’re left drained, disoriented, and left wondering whether you’ve survived a masterpiece or witnessed the musical equivalent of a snuff film. So, enter the crematorium, inhale deeply and be filled with the corporeal intoxication of CORPUS OFFAL’s carnage. This is a sonic slaughterhouse and you’re the carcass. Fans of Cerebral Rot, Fetid, Disgorge, Cenotaph, Goatlord, Undergang, and Cianide should not miss this.

Corpus Offal was recorded at Jackpot! Recording Studio/Everything Hz, engineered by Billy Anderson (Melvins, Sleep, Bell Witch), mastered by Dan Lowndes Resonance Sound, and completed with art by Karina Monzon and layout by Dan Fried. The video for the LP’s title track was directed, filmed, and edited by Chris Eaton.

Stream CORPUS OFFAL’s eponymous debut early only on YouTube RIGHT HERE.

Corpus Offal wil be released this Friday, March 21st on LP, CD, and digital platforms. Preorders can be placed at the 20 Buck Spin webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE, and if you missed it, watch the terrifying video the title track HERE.

CORPUS OFFAL will launch a widespread US incursion supporting the album. The band will tour across the country alongside Mephitic Corpse from April 26th through May 29th, including a set at the Maryland Deathfest XX official pre-fest on May 21st.

SONUM – Italian Death Metal Visionaries Premiere New Single “In This Void We Dwell” | The Obscure Light Awaits LP Out Soon

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on March 19, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Line-up:
Thomas Girardello – Vocals, Bass
Mirko Marchesini – Guitars
Francesco Tresca – drums

Italian death metallers SONUM are now premiering their new single, “In This Void We Dwell”. The track is taken from their upcoming second album, The Obscure Light Awaits, set for release on April 11th, 2025, via Dusktone. With this song, SONUM open the gates to a dark and relentless sonic journey, blending sharp riffs and oppressive atmospheres into an uncompromising assault.

Stream “In This Void We Dwell” at THIS LOCATION.

Following the critical acclaim of their debut, Visceral Void Entropy (2022), SONUM delve deeper into the labyrinthine realms of dissonance and atmosphere. The Obscure Light Awaits is an ambitious work that simultaneously pushes boundaries and honours the roots of the genre.

The album eschews unnecessary complexity in favour of a tight focus on songwriting, weaving together intricate, sibylline passages with a raw, unrelenting power that shows the influence of the pioneering works of old and contemporary death metal legends such as Gorguts, Morbid Angel, Execration and Artificial Brain.

A true testament to SONUM’s evolution, The Obscure Light Awaits presents a sonic journey defined by dark, otherworldly textures and relentless energy. The band’s ability to merge atmospheric depth with crushing riffs showcases their commitment to creating music that is both immersive and uncompromising. It’s an exploration of contrasts, between the abstract and the visceral, the chaotic and the structured.

Fans of progressive and atmospheric death metal will find The Obscure Light Awaits to be a landmark release that stands tall amidst this year’s most formidable works.

Stay tuned for more singles and further announcements as we approach the release date.

Track-list:

01. Due To Inner Mess…

03. Famine
04. Trapped In The Labyrinth of Aberration

Cosmic blackened death metal trio ULTHAR is preparing to launch their North Eastern Campaign 2025 tour this week. The tour begins this Thursday, March 20th in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and will crush its way across the East Coast and into the Midwest and back, ending in Baltimore, Maryland on March 31st where they’ll share the stage with Undergang and Torture Rack. See all confirmed dates below.

ULTHAR North Eastern Campaign 2025:
3/20/2025 The Golden Pony – Harrisonburg, VA
3/21/2025 Bonk’s Bar – Philadelphia, PA
3/22/2025 Gold Sounds – Brooklyn, NY
3/23/2025 Ralph’s Rock Diner – Worcester, MA
3/24/2025 Cabaret Foufounes – Montreal, QC
3/25/2025 The Baby G – Toronto, ON
3/26/2025 Psychic Garden – Rochester, NY
3/27/2025 Reggies – Chicago, IL
3/28/2025 Bug House – Fort Wayne, IN
3/29/2025 Shred Shed – Pittsburgh, PA
3/30/2025 West Edge Factory – Huntington, WV
3/31/2025 Metro Baltimore – Baltimore, MD

ULTHAR will be touring in support of their critically praised Anthronomicon and Helionomicon LPs released together in early 2023 via 20 Buck Spin.

Anthronomicon album cover

Anthronomicon embodies the continued progression of ULTHAR’s mastery over its art. From the opening blasts and twisting mania of “Cephalophore,” ULTHAR baffles with angular warped riffage, dipping in and out of various dimensional spheres. Each of Anthronomicon’s eight tracks represents a fractious piece of a larger puzzle, each a maze unto itself that when taken together allows one to traverse this inverted surrealist conundrum.

Where its sister album Anthronomicon presents an eight-piece puzzle of labyrinthine tumult, Helionomicon takes those elements and creates two towering twenty-minute monoliths of radiant avant-garde immensity. Each track, appropriately titled “Helionomicon” and “Anthronomicon,” transports the listener on a vast journey of psycho-cerebral spectacle where hitherto unimagined landscapes take shape and strange intangible structures pierce the disintegrating firmament.

Helionomicon album cover

Anthronomicon and Helionomicon are available on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats. Find physical orders at THIS LOCATION.

Find digital orders for Anthronomicon HERE and Helionomicon HERE.

Anthronomicon and Helionomicon were each recorded in April 2022 at Developing Nations in Baltimore, Maryland by Kevin Bernsten and mastered at Signaturetone in Minneapolis, Minnesota by Adam Tucker. Each album cover is half of a larger original piece created for ULTHAR by Ian Miller (Stormkeep, Bolt Thrower, Games Workshop). Additional artwork was created by the bad’s Steve Peacock.

Swedish Melodic Death Metal Legends Gates of Ishtar Sign With The Circle Music

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on March 17, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

The Circle Music has signed the influential Swedish melodic death metal band, Gates of Ishtar. Revered as one of the genre’s most underrated acts, Gates of Ishtar are poised to triumphantly return with their first new album in nearly three decades.

Formed in Luleå, Sweden, Gates of Ishtar burst onto the scene with their seminal 1996 debut album, A Bloodred Path, which quickly cemented their place in the pantheon of melodic death metal. Two more critically acclaimed albums followed, The Dawn of Flames (1997) and At Dusk and Forever (1998), showcasing their signature blend of razor-sharp riffs, thunderous drums, and the unmistakable growls of vocalist Mikael Sandorf. Despite their early success and promising trajectory, the band went on hiatus, leaving a void in the metal scene that their dedicated fanbase keenly felt.

After a 17-year silence, the anticipation for a reunion grew, and while a planned comeback in 2015 was sadly derailed by the passing of drummer Oscar Karlsson, Gates of Ishtar finally resurrected in November 2023 with a powerful performance at House of Metal. The overwhelming response from fans at this show ignited the spark for new music, leading to the decision to record a new album.

The Circle Music is ecstatic to welcome Gates of Ishtar to their roster. “If there was a list of the most underrated bands in metal, Gates of Ishtar would hold a prominent place,” states the record label. “It’s been almost 30 years since their legendary debut ‘A Bloodred Path’ appeared, and still remains in the pantheon of melodic death metal. Life often plays strange games. One thing is certain: Gates of Ishtar is owed a lot and they are coming back determined to claim it all, one by one. It is our great joy to be on this journey together! Stay tuned, the Gates are open again…“

Gates of Ishtar themselves are equally enthusiastic about this new chapter. “The gates are open once more!!! We are super excited to work together with Maria and The Circle Music to bring you our new album! It will be the first new release in almost 3 decades and we have put all our hearts and souls into this beast of an album,” the band comments. “The process of writing this new material has been a joyful experience and it didn’t take more than a minute to realise that we still had that magic flow between us all in the band. We can’t wait to hear your response to it and hopefully we meet you all out there in 2026! Hail Inanna!”

Fans who have been eagerly awaiting new material will be thrilled to hear that Gates of Ishtar’s signature sound remains potent, delivering Swedish melodic death metal at its finest.

Adding to the significance of their return, Gates of Ishtar recently performed a devastating live show in their hometown of Luleå. This performance coincided with the 30th anniversary of their very first concert in the same location, marking a powerful full-circle moment for the band.

CELESTIAL SCOURGE – Norwegian Death Metallers Unleash “Wandering Waste of Oxygen” Video

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on March 17, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Norwegian death metallers CELESTIAL SCOURGE are back with a bang, unveiling their brand-new music video for “Wandering Waste of Oxygen,” a track from their debut album Observers of The Inevitable, out now via Time To Kill Records.

Watch the video HERE.

The band commented:

‘“Wandering Waste of Oxygen’ pays homage to all the people out there who are rotten from the inside and out. To all living beings that refuse to contribute and only exist to live as parasites in our lives.
To pollute the air we breathe with their wretched words and false tongues. These creatures deserve no room for solace or refuge when the inevitable strikes upon them. The track itself is a more old-school paced, riff based song to guide you on the journey of total disgust”.

Observers of The Inevitable – track-list:

  1. The Advent of Deities
  2. Vessels
  3. Exterminated
  4. Wandering Waste of Oxygen
  5. Insectoid Evisceration
  6. The Optic Chiasm
  7. Assembling Deformities
  8. Ancient Forms

Line-up:

Stian Gundersen: bass
Kristoffer Lunden: drums
Eirik Waadeland: vocals
Hans Jakob Bjørheim: guitar
Sindre Wathne Johnsen: guitar

Founded in 2021 by bassist Stian Gundersen, CELESTIAL SCOURGE has already carved out a name for themselves with their relentless energy and unparalleled musicianship. Their sound is a brilliant blend of haunting growls, guitars wielded with malicious precision, thunderous bass lines, and drumming so fast it challenges the speed of light. It’s a musical onslaught inspired by the vast mysteries of space and the terrifying beauty of its dark corners.

The band’s line-up features members with a pedigree in some of the most revered names in underground extreme metal, including Blood Red Throne, Deception, Ruun, Vorbid, and Todesking. Drawing inspiration from titans like Suffocation, The Faceless, The Zenith Passage, Cattle Decapitation and Cannibal Corpse, CELESTIAL SCOURGE crafts a sound that’s both ferociously modern and rooted in the genre’s brutal legacy.

This release expands on the themes and sonic landscapes introduced in their debut, catapulting listeners further into the boundless chaos of the universe.

For fans of: Suffocation, Deeds Of Flesh, Beyond Creation, The Faceless

Finnish death metal act REFUSALhas signed a deal with Time To Kill Records for the release of their third album, Venomous Human Concept, set to drop in the coming months. Hailing from Helsinki, the band delivers a raw and unrelenting blend of death metal infused with grind and hardcore elements, striking a perfect balance between groove-driven intensity and razor-sharp precision.

LIK – Swedish Death Metallers To Release Necro Full-Length On April 18th Through Metal Blade Records

New Video/Single Now Playing + Preorders Available

LIK, the modern-day purveyors of classic Swedish death metal, gloriously return to action with their fourth album, Necro, on April 18th via Metal Blade Records.

Standing loud and proud over so many imitators, Necro is the musical equivalent of a classic shock-horror movie that’s drenched in blood and gore and packed with over-the-top extremities. Delve beyond the zombified cover art created by Stockholm-based tattooist and artist Jens Olsson (Ink Fanatics), Necro serves as a reminder of just how special and exciting the genre is: packed with blood-curdling fantasy stories about war, death, zombies, world apocalypse, and murder all stacked with disgustingly good, rotten riffs.

After recording and releasing their critically acclaimed third full-length, 2020’s Misanthropic Breed, during the pandemic, this time around getting back into the studio properly was paramount. And while Misanthropic Breed was recorded at the quartet’s rehearsal space where the band produced all their demos, LIK recorded Necro at NBS Studio (AKA Necromorbus Studio) in Söderfors, two hours from their home city.

Once again using uber-producer Lawrence Mackrory (Meshuggah, Katatonia, High Parasite, Decapitated), all music was recorded live over a three-day period, before vocalist/guitarist Tomas Åkvik headed to Uppsala to record his vocals at Mackrory’s Rorysound Studios. Mackrory has worked with LIK – whose name translates to “corpse” in Swedish – since their 2015 debut Mass Funeral Evocation and throughout their Metal Blade Records career that started with 2018’s Carnage.

Within Necro’s ten tracks, LIK has created a seamless album, diverse in tempo but without losing any of their blood-soaked intensity and relentless in-your-face-attitude listeners have come to expect. There are twists and turns that keep LIK on a progressive path without straying from their old-school trademark sounds inspired by the godfathers Dismember, At The Gates and, of course, Entombed.

“We didn’t really want to repeat ourselves, but of course we wanted the LIK sound,” explains Åkvik on the writing trajectory of Necro.

In advance of the record’s release, LIK unleashes first single, “War Praise.” Åkvik elaborates, “We had to write this track before we could even start working on the new album. A LIK track that felt just like LIK but with enough new stuff to make it interesting for us. Sadly enough the world is still plagued by wars so we had to write about the horrors of it.”

Watch LIK’s “War Praise” video HERE.

Necro, which features guest appearances by Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost, Bloodbath), Linnea Landstedt (Tyranex/Ice Age), and Lawrence Mackrory (F.K.Ü.), will be released on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:

180g Black

Death Metal Band CROWN OF MADNESS Unleash Official Video Off Their Newly Released Album

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on March 8, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Dissonant as well as emotive death metal from Canada

Husband-wife duo Crown of Madness impressed many with their debut full length of melancholic and atmospheric dissonant death metal which many feel is reminiscent of their heralded label mates Devenial Verdict. After only a few days of their album coming out, they have unleashed their official video via the label’s channel which can be witnessed AT THIS LINK. 

Lineup:
Sunshine Schneider – Guitar, Bass, Vocals
Connor Gordon – Drums

Crown of Madness have put out a slew of short-form releases, improving upon their sound with each one and culminating in this full length that sees the most evolved version of their music so far. As accomplished as it is, it also happens to be unique in the style of dissonant death metal – in that, it’s deeply personal and palpably emotive, and that poignant, introspective mood pervades their entire album. The music almost has a melodic albeit melancholic quality to it that is refreshing for a style of music that usually sounds harsh and detached. At the same time the music is driven; the hypnotic riffs are invariably interspersed with bursts of blasts and there is good momentum generated in this calculated, undulating pattern which becomes addictive. Memories Fragmented is a beautifully tempered album underpinned by unforgettable melodies, an ambitious release but one completely devoid of pretence, which is bound to be regarded as one of the standout albums in the style in the years to come.

For fans of: Ulcerate, Devenial Verdict, Dysgnostic, Gorguts

Artwork by Erskine Designs

Track listing:
1. Visions From A Past Life 
2. Sovereign Blood 
3. Burdened 
4. Ashes of Mine
5. When I Don’t Remember You
6. Deafening 
7. Sea of Fangs 
8. Dreamless Nights No Longer 
9. Hollow Thresher 
10. The Grand Design

SUDDEN DEATH – Italian Death Metallers To Release New Album: In Sinner Hate

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on March 4, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

SUDDEN DEATH‘s fourth album, In Sinner Hate, is set for release on May 19th, 2025, via Time To Kill Records.

The title plays phonetically with the word “Incinerate”, but takes on the meaning of In the sinner’s hate, reflecting the dark and introspective themes that permeate the entire work. In this new effort, the band delves into concepts such as violence, monotony, loneliness, alienation, respectability, and hardship, while also tackling broader topics like war, pollution, and social isolation, exploring them in their most visceral form.

While maintaining the claustrophobic, minimalist, and massive approach that has always defined SUDDEN DEATH, the new material ventures into more intricate and elaborate directions. The band’s death metal carries a modern edge, yet retains clear nods to the old-school brutality of Cannibal Corpse and Sinister. The guitars intertwine constantly, layering different yet harmonized riffs before reconverging into a single, powerful sonic force, creating a complex and dynamic listening experience.

The first single “Human Death Machine” is now streaming HERE.

The album was mixed and mastered by Stefano “Saul” Morabito (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance, Hideous Divinity), with additional recordings by Marco “Cinghio” Mastrobuono (Hour Of Penance, Shores Of Null) and Giuseppe Orlando (Novembre, Stormlord).

The band commented: 

“Human Death Machine is a track whose themes draw inspiration from certain elements of cinematic works such as The Shining, reinterpreted from a more introspective and personal perspective. The protagonist, suffering from a dissociative disorder, experiences an identity crisis, undergoing what can be described as an authentic and progressive process of rationalizing his emotions. This leads him to a state in which, following the complete annihilation of his emotional side, only cynicism and inner emptiness remain. His distorted perception of reality drives him to see murder as the only possible solution. As a result, the protagonist transforms from a man into a kind of flesh-and-bone robot, a killing machine, a human death-machine”.

Line-up:

Luis Maggio – Vocals
Giorgio “Giorgioni” Cifuni – Guitar
Francesca Mancini – Guitar
Giuseppe Ciurleo – Bass
Emanuele Aleo – Drums

Track-list:

1. In Sinner Hate (Intro)
2. The Modern Pharisee
3. Destined to Fall
4. The World is Hate
5. Living Corruption
6. The Beast Awakening
7. Channelling Misery
8. The Torture Wheel
9. Acidic Ways of Parity
10. Human Death Machine
11. The Human Demise

Formed in 1997, SUDDEN DEATH are a death metal band hailing from Genzano (Rome). The band’s sound, initially inspired by the rawest old school death-thrash metal waves, slowly and progressively developed into a more brutal style, influenced by Cannibal Corpse and early Deicide. Nowadays the band set forth on a masterclass in technical and claustrophobic death metal with dense and intertwining guitars, sudden tempo and metric changes and more consistent and exasperated vocal parts.

So far the band has released three albums – Devoured Inside (self-produced) in 2001, Injection of Hate (Deadbang Records) in 2004, Monolith of Sorrow (Killerpool Records) in 2015 and the EP Stillborn (Art Gates Records) in 2018.

SUDDEN DEATH have played several shows throughout the Italian peninsula and around Europe, sharing the stage with important acts such as Suffocation, Gorgoroth, Vader, Napalm Death, Exodus, Dark Tranquility, Possessed, Pestilence and many others.

UK Death Metal Titans CANCER Return With News Of Their New Album: Inverted World – Out On APRIL 25th, 2025

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

Inverted World Album Artwork

LEAD SINGLE ‘AMPUTATE’ SET FOR RELEASE
ON MARCH 14th WITH NEW VIDEO

For over 35 years UK death metal legends Cancer have been delivering some of the most brutal and uncompromising music in the genre. Now, they return with Inverted World, their highly anticipated follow-up to 2018’s Shadow Gripped. Set for release on April 25th via Peaceville Records, the album promises a return to their signature blend of serrated riffing, guttural vocals, and relentless aggression. Expect a dark and visceral journey into dystopia, corruption, and existential horror.

Speaking on the upcoming release, founding member and vocalist John Walker shared “I started writing the new material shortly after the Covid lockdowns. I nearly always usually start the writing process by basically fooling around on the guitar, then after a while riffs start to turn into musical ideas. The lyrics, I tend to spend some time thinking about a concept and then I pick the vocabulary appropriate to the idea. Inspiration comes from what’s happening and what has happened in the world and curious tales that interest me. This album is the bands seventh full length release and I feel very fortunate at my age to still be able to do it, mixed by V. Santura I’m super happy with how it’s turned out.”

INVERTED WORLD WILL BE RELEASED ON LIMITED PURPLE VINYL, BLACK VINYL, CD AND DIGITALLY. VINYL EDITIONS INCLUDE PRINTED INNER SLEEVE FEATURING FULL LYRICS, CD EDITION INCLUDES 12-PAGE BOOKLET WITH FULL LYRICS. PRE-ORDER HERE.

Death metal titans Cancer burst onto the UK extreme metal scene over thirty-five years ago and quickly established a strong global following over the early part of their careers, primarily due to the release of the legendary debut To the Gory End, swiftly followed by the equally revered Death Shall Rise album, which notably also featured death metal maestro James Murphy on lead guitars. The band’s trajectory increased further with follow-up opus The Sins of Mankind, leading to a stint with major label EastWest under Warner Music.

2018 saw the band return after a long period of inactivity for comeback release and Peaceville debut Shadow Gripped, which reunited the original core trio for the first time since 1995 for a stellar nod to the glory days of old; savage, thrash-tinged deathly odes to the macabre, gaining the approval of old fans and a new generation of death metal maniacs alike.

In a year which also marks the 35th anniversary of the genre-classic debut, To the Gory End, founding member and vocalist/guitarist/songwriter John Walker leads a now-revamped quartet for Cancer’s seventh full-length album in the form of Inverted World. A relentless attack of masterful song-writing and brutal hooks, Inverted World explores the dark and murky world of manipulation and barbarity both past and present, with themes relating to shadowy entities and cult mentalities, including the brainwashing of people into compliance and the weaponizing of religion. And as an extra treat for the band’s fanbase in particular, the track ‘Corrosive’ also resurrects the old and familiar tale of the acid bath murderer.

Inverted World was recorded at The Empty Hall Studio with Simón Da Silva, and mixed by V. Santura (Triptykon, Obscura, Pestilence, Dark Fortress etc) at Woodshed Studio.

‘Amputate’ Single Artwork

THE ALBUM’S FIRST SINGLE ‘AMPUTATE’ WILL BE RELEASED ON 14TH MARCH WITH A BRAND-NEW VIDEO

Cancer’s new album Inverted World will be released on 25th April 2025 on purple vinyl LP, black vinyl LP, CD and digitally. Pre-order here.

AS THE WORLD DIES – Unleashes “Under A Dying Sky” Video/Single | Nebula Full-Length Nears Release Via Reaper Entertainment

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

“Under A Dying Sky” is the latest single from British death metal collective, AS THE WORLD DIES. The track comes by way of the band’s upcoming second studio album, Nebula, set for release on March 21st via Reaper Entertainment.

Following the success of their previous single “Dark Oblivion,” “Under A Dying Sky” continues to showcase AS THE WORLD DIES’ signature fusion of heavy, melodic riffs and apocalyptic storytelling. The track is a brutal yet thought-provoking journey, blending relentless death metal aggression with atmospheric synths and progressive elements.

Band leader Scott Fairfax (Memoriam, ex-Massacre) comments, “‘Under A Dying Sky’ is a defining moment for us. It captures the essence of what AS THE WORLD DIES is all about – an intense, cinematic experience wrapped in brutal, crushing death metal. We wanted to push the limits even further, and this track is just a taste of what’s coming with Nebula.”

Watch AS THE WORLD DIES’ video for “Under A Dying Sky” HERE. Stream/purchase the track HERE.

Watch the band’s previously released lyric video for “Dark Oblivion” HERE.

Nebula will be available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats. Find preorders at THIS LOCATION.

AS THE WORLD DIES is a relentless force in the UK death metal scene, spearheaded by guitarist and songwriter Scott Fairfax. Known for his work with Memoriam, Massacre, and Benediction, Fairfax brings decades of experience to the table, crafting an unparalleled blend of crushing riffs, symphonic darkness, and cosmic devastation.

Nebula is a gripping journey through the realms of crushing death metal and cosmic mysticism. Fairfax explains, “This album is the quintessence of what AS THE WORLD DIES is all about. We pushed our musical boundaries to create something both brutal and thought-provoking. It’s heavier, darker, and more profound than anything we’ve done before.”

The album dives into themes of apocalyptic prophesies and human insignificance, epitomized by the looming presence of the asteroid Apophis, a key inspiration behind the band’s cosmic death metal sound. Adding a progressive touch with atmospheric ‘80s synths and a haunting industrial edge, Nebula expands the boundaries of the genre while maintaining its relentless death metal core.

Darren Mcgillivray – guitars
Chris Mcgrath – drums

ADE – Rome Death Metal Act Unveils “Vinum” Video | Fifth Album Supplicium Out Soon

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on February 13, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Rome death metal act ADE strikes back with their new single “Vinum”. Watch the video HERE.

ADE will release their fifth full-length album, “Supplicium”, on March 14th 2025 via Time To Kill Records.

True to their musical identity, the band continues to explore the allure of ancient Rome, weaving tales of battles, sacrifices, and glory into a powerful and immersive narrative.

“Supplicium” represents a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. On one hand, the lyrical concept and epic atmospheres transport the listener to the age of the Roman Empire, evoking visions of triumphant marches and blood-soaked arenas. On the other hand, the sound becomes increasingly technical and refined, with tight riffs, relentless rhythmic sections, and flawless production that enhances every detail.

The album, crafted with meticulous care, succeeds in combining the brutality of death metal with highly complex instrumental passages, showcasing a band in constant evolution.

With “Supplicium”, ADE reaffirm their role as champions of a death metal where historical tradition and modern sound coexist, creating an experience that is both ferocious and captivating.

Tracklist: 

01. Ave Dis Pater
02. Burnt Before Gods
03. Ad Bestias!
04. Let There Be Oblivion
05. Vinum
06. Patibula
07. Quartered By Chariots
08. Oderint Dum Metuant
09. From Fault To Disfigurement
10. Taedium Vivere

ADE is an Italian death metal band forged in 2008. Right from the start, the band chose Ancient Rome as the focus of its themes and main source of inspiration: visually, musically and lyrically. The inclusion of traditional melodies and folk instruments gives the band’s technical death metal a strong epic character.

ADE have released four full-length albums so far: “Prooemium Sanguine” (2010), “Spartacus” (2013, featuring George Kollias as guest drummer), “Carthago delenda est” (2016) and “Rise of the Empire” (2019).

Known for their intense, dynamic, and interactive live performances, the Italian act has already made their mark on concert halls and festivals across Europe, sharing the stage with renowned acts such as Behemoth, Morbid Angel, Asphyx, Possessed, Hypocrisy and many more and performing at legends festivals such as Wacken Open Air (2009), Mass Deathruction Festival (2014), Inferno Metal Festival, Fosch Fest (2015) and more recently Stonehenge Festival (2023).
