BURDEN OF GRIEF – Unleashes “A Daydream Of Sorrow” New Single & Music Video

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, music videos with tags , , , , , , , , , on November 2, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

November 24, 2023 sees German death/thrash metal band BURDEN OF GRIEF release their much-awaited, eighth studio album, titled “Destination Dystopia”, via Masssacre Records. Coming as CD, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the pre-sale is available at: https://lnk.to/destinationdystopia

It’s the band’s first offering in more than five long years. Five years, in which so much has happened in the world that BURDEN OF GRIEF were forced to refer to it lyrically and musically. Reinforced by the two new members Dominik Hellmuth (guitars) and Manuel Lüke (drums), they now present the strongest, heaviest and most varied album in the almost 30-year band history.

Following a previously-released, first album appetizer “Fevered Dreams”, now, BURDEN OF GRIEF are premiering a music video for their new single “A Daydream Of Sorrow”!

“On each of our albums we have 2-3 songs that break out of our usual musical context, mostly by being significantly slower,” the band comments. “This is enormously important to keep the music as varied as possible. “A Daydream Of Sorrow” is one of those songs that is particularly catchy, not least because of the slowing down of the tempo, and also has an extended solo part. In the studio it has already turned out that this song clearly stands out from the overall material. But fans of our heavier stuff don’t have to worry, most of the other songs are much faster.”

Watch the new BURDEN OF GRIEF video now streaming HERE

On “Destination Dystopia”, BURDEN OF GRIEF accomplished to focus on their years of experience, to combine their strengths and to put them into 10 riff monsters that are bursting with energy, great melodies and pure heaviness. First and foremost, you’ll get the thrash and melodic death treatment, but you’ll also find a plethora of elements that go way beyond what these musical drawers are all about. Expect killer grooves, classic twin-guitar solos as well as the return of the old-school Hammond organ.

Kristian “Kohle” Kohlmannslehner and his assistant Daniel Claar took care of the drum recordings, mixing and mastering of the album at the Kohlekeller Studios (Hämatom, Powerwolf, Aborted, etc.), and they made sure that “Destination Dystopia” is the tightest and heaviest album BURDEN OF GRIEF has ever released!

SPIRITUAL DECEPTION – Share Lyric Video For “Thousand Lives Within” Featuring NILE’s Karl Sanders

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on October 20, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

Italian death metal quartet SPIRITUAL DECEPTION has shared the official lyric video for “Thousand Lives Within,” the first single from the band’s upcoming new album, Semitae Mentis. The song features a guest appearance by NILE guitarist/vocalist Karl Sanders.

Semitae Mentis will be out on February 9, 2024. Amputated Vein Records will release the album on physical formats, with Earache Records handling digital distribution.

Check out the video for “Thousand Lives Within” at this location.

Following a series of EPs, Semitae Mentis bears the markings of a band that has reached a higher level of songmanship and technical prowess. The album features guest contributions by Karl Sanders (Nile) and Luc Lemay (Gorguts).

Track Listing:

  1. The I Swells… (Decadence pt.I)
  2. Atavic Future (Decadence pt.II)
  3. The Days of Sleep (Decadence pt.III)
  4. Beyond Perception and Matter
  5. Dirac Sea (feat. Luc Lemay – Gorguts)
  6. The Night opens
  7. On the Edge of the Abyss
  8. Thousand Lives Within (feat. Karl Sanders – Nile)
  9. Individuality Dissolves
  10. …To the Coldest Decline (Decadence pt.IV)

SPIRITUAL DECEPTION is an atmospheric death metal band, with hints of technical and brutal death metal, active since 2016.

The band has a deep connection with philosophy and owes its name to a theory from the Danish philosopher Søren Aabye Kierkegaard, which struck the composers’ minds: different human beings in the act of analyzing a particular circumstance, approach (inevitably) the situation with different points of view. Extending that fact to the ethics field hence that nothing can be defined as objective good or bad, true or false, as the judgment is deeply rooted in everyone’s own perspective. As a result, there is no objective truth, your soul is constantly deceived.

Line-Up:
Mirko Frontini – Vocals and Guitar
Riccardo Maccarana – Lead Guitar
Billy Repalam – Bass
Manuel Del Giudice – Drums

Since its birth, the band produced 3 EPs: Spiritual Deception (2018), Etemenanki(2019), and Oxymoron (2021), sharpening its sound towards a modern brand of death metal, with brutal guitar riffing and blasting drums, combined with melodic elements, which go from guitar harmonies to liturgical choirs and strings ensembles. The result of the combination of these elements is a sound that satisfies all kinds of listeners, from the brutal to the more sophisticated ones.

This formula is enriched by the lyrics which are all about philosophy, astronomy, history, and literature. The band wants to spark an interest in all these themes together with the passion for music into the listener and, in order to achieve its goal, wants to deliver a complete product, well-finished from all the points of view: from the music and lyrics to the artwork and media contents.

NEURECTOMY – Featuring ORIGIN’s John Longstreth – To Release Debut Album, Overwrought

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news with tags , , , , , , , on September 25, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

NEURECTOMY, a trio of NYC-based tech-death wizards, are set to unleash their debut album, Overwrought. Featuring the drumming prowess of ORIGIN‘s John Longstreth, Overwroughtdelivers 30 genre-bending minutes of forward-thinking technical death metal.

The band has posted visualizers for two songs off the album, “Crimson Tsunami” and “Dolphin.” Watch the videos at:

“Crimson Tsunami” – youtube.com/watch?v=KvLtcR6tAbc

“Dolphin” – youtube.com/watch?v=PbcpiOoNC1Q

Both songs are streaming on Spotify.

NEURECTOMY will release Overwrought on November 17.

Tracklist:
1) Abducted for Research
2) Culinary Cadaveric Art
3) Anencephalic Birth
4) Dolphin
5) Zombified
6) Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progres
7) Overwrought
8) Crimson Tsunami

The term NEURECTOMY is a reference to the surgical removal of a nerve which ties into the band’s interests in medical themes and the human condition. NEURECTOMY focuses on overall musicianship in their songs and aims to write engaging material that has musical depth and complexity. Listeners will often find something new and interesting even on repeated listens of the material.

Line-up:

John Longstreth – Drums
Joe – Guitar/Vocals
Kris – Guitar/Vocals

Recording and production of the album feature many prominent metal musicians and sound engineers in the industry. Longstreth’s drum tracks were recorded at Silver Chord Studios (owned by Joe Duplantier of Gojira) and were tracked with Johann Meyer (front-of-house engineer for Gojira). The album is mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson from Cryptopsy with assistant engineering from Dominic Grimard.

The band recommends listening to the album front to back as there is a natural order of progression in intensity where each track generally tops the preceding one. Listeners will notice obvious influences from tech-death bands such as Origin, Beneath the Massacre, Dying Fetus, etc. Additionally, the band includes jazz elements and touch style/tapping guitar techniques similar to Psyopus. Lyrical themes on the album are generally tongue-in-cheek and primarily meant to compliment the underlying music with additional aggression, not any deep-rooted message or sentiment.

The album clocks in at around 30 minutes which hits a sweet spot giving the listener the opportunity to enjoy the album front to back in one sitting without being overwhelmed, but maybe overwrought…

INFECTION CODE – Italian Death-Thrashers Sign To Time To Kill Records, New Album “Sulphur” Out In November

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news with tags , , , , , , , on September 17, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

Italian death-thrashers INFECTION CODE are pleased to announce their union with Time To Kill Records for the release of their ninth full-length studio album, “Sulphur”. The album is set to be released on November 17th 2023.

The band is back after one year from their previous effort, “Alea Iacta Est”, with a new sound and a new sonic landscape to explore. “Sulphur” is the first album with the new line-up and the first written by new guitarist Chris, who joined the band in 2021.

Today, INFECTION CODE focuses on manifesting crushing riffs laced with visceral grooves that echo somber melodies. Eschewing all trends, the album takes every disparate element that INFECTION CODE previously employed, such as industrial tones, more prominent death and thrash metal influences, and amplifies them, while juxtaposing each next to each other, with genuinely unpredictable and exciting consequences. The tracklist also includes a cover version of AT THE GATES’ masterpiece, “Blinded By Fear”.

Lyrically, the album is based on some sci-fi and horror novels, and stories used as allegories to introduce personal reflections on the decline of human civilization. The authors are Howard P. Lovecraft, Philip K. Dick, Ben Bova, Ray Bradbury, Dan Simmons and Valerio Evangelisti.

“Sulphur” was recorded, mixed and mastered at The Cat’s Cage Recording Studio by Francesco Salvadeo. The artwork and the cover have been created by Simone Strige of STRX Art.

Tracklist:

01. Maze Of Death
02. The Colour Out The Space
03. Evil Side Of Mercy
04. Deleted Error
05. Old Viral Order
06. Protoplasm Hope
07. Something Wicked This Way Comes
08. Blinded By Fear
09. Lurking Creepy Love

After releasing three albums in three years and then spending the next four years in the wilderness, Toronto, Ontario’s TOMB MOLD has been reborn on their fourth album, The Enduring Spirit, a thoroughly unabashed step into vast new territories. Yet for all its frenetic daring and audacious exploration, The Enduring Spirit is never anything other than unmistakably TOMB MOLD.

While the expanding TOMB MOLD architecture could be heard on last year’s self-released Aperture Of Body tape, particularly on final track “Prestige Of Rebirth,” it comes into clear focus throughout The Enduring Spirit. Certainly, Derrick Vella’s time creating within and expanding the doom genre in Dream Unending has seeped into the flesh of TOMB MOLD, not to mention Payson Power and Max Klebanoff’s explorations in their own Daydream Plus project.

With four years away, a band with boundless creative energy, as TOMB MOLD are, were certain to expand the scope of their vision, and on The Enduring Spirit they’ve shaped a record with a cinematic environment that offers unlimited avenues of exploration, both for themselves and the listener.

The Enduring Spirit Track Listing:

1. The Perfect Memory (Phantasm Of Aura)

2. Angelic Fabrications

3. Will Of Whispers

4. Fate’s Tangled Thread

5. Flesh As Armour

6. Servants Of Possibility

7. The Enduring Spirit Of Calamity

The Enduring Spirit was recorded at Boxcar Sound Recording by Sean Pearson (Tomb Mold, Dream Unending), and mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Tomb Mold, Dream Unending, Kommand, Gravesend, Power Trip). The album’s artwork was handled by Jesse Jacobi who was also responsible for the Planetary Clairvoyance artwork, with additional artwork by Karmazid, layout and design by Chimère Noire, and photography by Colin Medley.

The Enduring Spirit will be released on all digital platforms this Friday, September 15th. The physical release is confirmed for October 13th where it will be issued on CD, CS, and both LP and the label’s first picture disc LP ever, both vinyl versions including a four-panel insert and huge 36×24-inch poster.

TOMB MOLD:
Max Klebanoff – drums, vocals
Derrick Vella – guitar, bass
Payson Power – guitar

The band writes with the news of the new album, “After three years spent spiraling in the cycle reincarnate necessity, a myriad of consciousness have now become one. Prolong the final death spiral of nature and dive into the gnashing current of The Enduring Spirit of Calamity.”

TOMB MOLD has booked two release shows for the new album, in Toronto September 15th and Montreal September 16th. Additional live activities will be announced in the months ahead.

TOMB MOLD The Enduring Spirit Release Shows:

9/15/2023 Lee’s Palace – Toronto, ON w/ Undeath, Outer Heaven

9/16/2023 Foufounes Électriques – Montréal, QC w/ Outer Heaven, Serpent Corpse

MALFORMED To Release New EP “The Gathering of Souls” On Extremely Rotten Productions

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news with tags , , , , , , on September 4, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

Helsinki-based death metal unit MALFORMED has signed a pact with Extremely Rotten Productions for the release of The Gathering of Souls. The EP, which comes less than a year after the self-released demo, Uncontrollable Malformity, bears the markings of a band versed beyond their years in the art of technical death metal.

Look for The Gathering of Souls to be released on vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital formats on October 13.

The Gathering of Souls – track listing:
1) Drowning in Emptiness
2) The Gathering of Souls
3) Defiled
4) Enchantments of Nihilism
5) Mind Refinery

MALFORMED is a young, relentless death metal band reigning from Helsinki, Finland. The band incarnated in 2022, as its debut demo Uncontrollable Malformity crawled out of the sewers alongside positive reviews and some underground hype. However, things are only getting started with the release of EP The Gathering of Souls which showcases even more intensity, brutality, and technicality through our recently solidified lineup.

MALFORMED:
Jani Seppi – drums
Akseli Lindroos – guitars
Pauli Niemi – bass
Eetu Hyvönen – vocals/guitars

MALFORMED began its journey through the hands of guitarist/vocalist Eetu Hyvönen and bassist Pauli Niemi, who were joined by guitarist Akseli Lindroos and drummer Jani Seppi in late 2022. As the demo was completed before Jani’s addition to the lineup, The Gathering of Souls is the first release to feature the full MALFORMED lineup. These five fierce and hellish tracks were completed during the winter of 2022-2023, and recordings commenced during the spring with Juuso Hämäläinen (Azatoth, Disguised Malignance) handling all production.

The tracks, which were both arranged and recorded at the band’s barren rehearsal place in Espoo, combine the technicality and brutality of bands like early Cryptopsy, Suffocation, Gorguts, and Demilich – without sacrificing the originality and inclusion of our own MALFORMED sound.

JOB FOR A COWBOY Returns With “The Agony Seeping Storm” Video/Single – Band Prepares To Release First New Full-Length In A Decade Via Metal Blade Records In 2024

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news with tags , , , , , on September 3, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

Arizona death metallers JOB FOR A COWBOY return after a near decade long hiatus with their brand new single and accompanying video for “The Agony Seeping Storm.” The track comes by way of the band’s first new full-length in a decade, set for release in 2024 via Metal Blade Records! JOB FOR A COWBOY released their “Sun Eater” full-length in 2014. The record received an overwhelmingly positive response.

Ten years later, the band returns with their most volatile work to date. The as-yet-untitled full-length is at once musically multifaceted, unabashedly brutal, and compellingly conceptual. First single, “The Agony Seeping Storm,” is a mathematically mind-blowing hybrid of bludgeoning death metal specializing in unconventional riffing that echoes the resemblance of legendary experimentalists like Cynic, Atheist, and Gorguts. A newly refreshed and reinspired lineup — vocalist Jonny Davy, guitarists Tony Sannicandro and Al Glassman, bassist Nick Schendzielos, and drummer (since 2020) Navene Koperweis — seamlessly pick up the mantle where Sun Eater left off.

Watch JOB FOR A COWBOY’s “The Agony Seeping Storm” video HERE.

Further info on JOB FOR A COWBOY’s new full-length will be revealed in the coming weeks. Stay alert! JOB FOR A COWBOY’s official comeback show will take place at this year’s edition of Blue Ridge Rock Fest with additional live dates to be announced soon.

JOB FOR A COWBOY Live: 9/08/2023 Blue Ridge Rock Fest – Alton, VA

JOB FOR A COWBOY hails from Glendale, Arizona. Formed in 2003, the band’s debut album, Genesis, was released in 2007, peaking at #54 on the US Billboard 200 and selling 13,000 copies in its first week of release. The second album, 2009’s Ruination, sold 10,600 copies in the United States in its first week to debut at position #42 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Sweden-born death horde FARSOTH will crush skulls this fall with the release of their second full-length album Morbid Symphonies. FARSOTH puts their relentless brand of death metal on full display with the album’s first single, “Nothingness.”

Morbid Symphonies is simply 10 death metal songs done with a passion for music and the genre. As always, FARSOTH aims to make songs that will make you headbang, join a mosh pit, and chug a beer or two. If you are looking for music that will make you do the reptile dance, look no further.

FARSOTH invites all of you to join the madness and friendship of Death Metal. Morbid Symphonies is the album that everyone will soon be talking about.

Black Lion Records will release Morbid Symphonies on October 27. Pre-order the album atfarsothblacklion.bandcamp.com

Tracklist:

  1. Hate

  5. Bound To Death
  6. Afterlife
  7. Provoke Me

FARSOTH was founded in Sala (Sweden) by Jari Kuusisto in 2020. Shortly thereafter Joakim Mikiver on vocals, Jonas Magnusson on bass, and Kristofer Elemyr on guitar were contacted to join the band. The search for the right drummer turned out to be a more difficult task than expected. Several months later the place was still not filled so Jari decided to contact his good friend Chris Barkensjö (Lik) to help with the drum recording for the album. All said and done, FARSOTH had 9 songs recorded but still no permanent drummer.

FARSOTH:
Jari Kuusisto – Guitar
Joakim Mikiver – Vocals
Jonas Magnusson – Bass
Florian Rehn – Drums
Johnny Nymark – Guitar

In early 2021 William Parkstam was recruited as the band’s permanent drummer. FARSOTH rehearsed for the first time as a full band in Williams’ hometown of Uppsala. Since then, they have released several videos, along with their debut album, The Plague, on all major streaming platforms.

Shortly after the album’s release in late 2022, William decided to leave the band due to other obligations, and Kristofer sadly passed away. William was quickly replaced by Florian Rehn on drums and in early 2023 Johnny Nymark joined the band as their new guitarist. At the beginning of 2023, Swedish record label Black Lion Records reached out to FARSOTH offering the band a record deal. So with a fresh record deal and more than 14 new songs, FARSOTH is looking forward to seeing what 2023 will bring.

LIEWEAVER – Ukrainian Death Metallers Share “Last Hope” Single

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , , on August 4, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

Ukraine’s death metallers LIEWEAVER have today shared a new single entitled “Last Hope”. Stream it HERE.

LIEWEAVER convince with a dark mixture of everything that is extreme, but with grooves and modern sounding, recognizable songs, that basically can be described as black hymns with pit-stirring mentality.

LIEWEAVER first began to coalesce in October 2018 through the union of vocalist Vasiliy Kutsenko, guitarist Alex Choopov, and drummer Bogdan Fesenko. Soon, guitarist Alex Reshetnuk joined the group, and together they released a a debut single, “Paradox Of Creation“. A few months later bassist Bogdan Khoroshilov joined the band, and in February 2021 Ruslan Kovtun (keys/synth) completed the line-up for the recording of “The Origin” EP, which released by Lethal Scissor Records a few months later.

After release of the EP, the band kept themselves busy by playing gigs and working on new material. The outbreak of war made the band’s activities difficult for some time, but lately LIEWEAVER have managed to return on stage and to focus on songwriting once again.

The band’s new single, “Last Hope”, can be considered the swansong of their old sound. LIEWEAVER are now working on brand new material that while retaining the heaviness of the old style, will delve into a darker spectrum of sounds and concepts.

Watch for more news on other upcoming LIEWEAVER activities to be posted shortly.

BERZERKER LEGION – Announce New Album ‘Chaos Will Reign’

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on August 1, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

Artwork by: Adi Dechristianize

BERZERKER LEGION was founded in 2016 by guitarists Tomas Elofsson (Hypocrisy) and Alwin Zuur (Asphyx) with a vision to create death metal of the most belligerent quality, they recruited a line-up of solid well-known musicians consisting of James Stewart (Vader) on drums, Jonny Pettersson (Wombbath) on vocals and Fredrik Isaksson (Dark Funeral) on bass to complete the Legion.

Alwin Zuur (guitars/songwriter) comments: “During the recent years Tomas and I met each other at shows and festivals regularly. Much of our conversations were about music and styles. During these meetings we found out that we really had a lot of common musical interests .

Music wise our debut album ‘Obliterate the Weak’ displays the perfect balance between brutality, melody and harmony. Being a fan of the early 90’s Swedish Gothenburg style, with bands like At The Gates, Eucharist, A Canorous Quintet, as well as being a die-hard fan of brutal old school death metal style with bands like Bolt Thrower, Obituary, I have always wanted to write songs showing a mix of such different death metal genres.

With our new album “Chaos Will Reign” we have further developed ourselves in our typical musical mix of melody and brutality. “Chaos Will Reign” sounds more professional, complete, massive and powerful thanks to Jonas Kjellgren’s production. It has become the logical successor, a huge step forward compared to our debut album “Obliterate the Weak”.

BERZERKER LEGION line up:
Jonny Pettersson – Vocals
Tomas Elofsson – Guitars
Alwin Zuur – Guitars
James Stewart – Drums
Fredrik Isaksson – Bass

Saying the album songs transpire massively produced invigorating heavy death metal is an understatement. BERZERKER LEGION knock out with warlike triumphant, powerfully addictive harmonies that will turn them into an unstoppable beast in a live situation and on record.

New single/video for the song ‘Choirs of Anguish’ out in September!

Chaos Will Reign’ track-listing:
1 Chaos Will Reign 05:54

SADISTIC VISION “Destroyer of All Dreams” Out Now On Boris Records

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on July 29, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

Hailing from the original era that spawned Death Metal, Sadistic Vision has spanned over three decades with their brand of “Traditional” style of Death Metal. Destroyer of All Dreams consists of five brutal tracks that represent a true homage to the roots of the sound that makes them Sadistic Vision.

The goal of this new EP is to give an insight of imaginative mental progressions that speak to the violent dispositions that come with murder, destruction, depressed and revengefully liberating musicality while maintaining true to the original sound of the band’s persona.

“We are truly grateful and excited to be working with our friends at Boris Records on this one. We’re looking forward to being a part of the Boris Records family.” — Sadistic Vision

“We feel that with today’s death metal consisting of so many bands that are quick to be trendy and stake a claim on the phrase “old-school” death metal that we would like to set ourselves apart from that. In saying that we are ‘traditional’ death metal, we are from the originating times of the style, and are still influenced and inspired by it both as individual and collective musicians.”

Track Listing:

  1. Intro
  2. Unremorsed Killing
  3. Repressed Mind
  4. Destroyer of All Dreams
  5. J.C.

Line-up:

Beau C – guitars and vocals
Brian Reed – bass
Justin Kitzmiller – drums

BIO: Originally starting in the southern regions just outside of New Orleans Louisiana, the band relocated to Hanover Pennsylvania in 1989. After a hiatus and a few lineup changes, Sadistic Vision evolved into a 3-piece line up in 2017, with founding members Beau and Brian still at the helm.

VORTEX Announces Eastern Canadian Tour Dates (QC, ON, NB, PEI)

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on July 26, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

New Album “The Future Remains In Oblivion” Out Now!

Rimouski, Quebec’s Vortex announces they will be hitting the road for show dates across Eastern Canada this coming Fall 2023 in support of their latest album “The Future Remains In Oblivion” released this past June. The band will be touring from the months of September to January performing across Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, and PEI where they will be joined by Aeternam, Serene Dark, Strigampire (2023 Wacken Metal Battle Canada Champions), and Beyond Fiction on select dates.

Vortex‘s third epic concept album is set to aggressive and beautiful orchestral melodic death metal with hints of black metal. Each song on “The Future Remains In Oblivion” is one chapter in their well-written sci-fi tale and there is a build-up in intensity and emotion that goes along with the storyline and the lyrics as you traverse the album. They share their thoughts:

“This is an orchestral death metal album with plenty of heavy riffing and melodies, technical vocals, and epic soloing. Some of the songs are riff-oriented and some others had the orchestra and melodies written before the drums and the guitars. We wrote all the lyrics before the music to make sure that it would fit the feel and emotion of each song/part of the story. When we start writing a song, we know exactly what feeling and emotion we are aiming at, it’s a good way to push ourselves creatively and write thoughtful music.”

Music Video – “First Blood” – https://youtu.be/Wd-yfIfRRzQ

Those familiar with the previous albums will note that they were more on the ambient/dramatic side. The new album’s songs are still melodic/orchestral but much more aggressive and some of them have a black metal influence. Vortex’s goal was to create songs that would have a greater impact on their live shows, and these aggressive songs will work well live. They feel the album is a good combination of aggression/melody, and ugliness/beauty.

Creativity and storytelling are the key tenets of Vortex. Their masterful lyric writing is equally matched with their prowess in devising riffs, and orchestrations. They will transport the listener into a new world and are recommended for fans of Lorna Shore, Dimmu Borgir, and Fleshgod Apocalypse.

Track Listing:

  1. From The Sun (5:24)
  2. Downfall (4:11)
  3. The Fool (3:13)
  4. The Walls (4:32)
  5. Our Possible End (4:23)
  6. First Blood (4:29)
  7. The Future Remains In Oblivion (4:50)
  8. When No More Words Will Be Heard (5:22)
    Album Length: 36:29

“The Future Remains In Oblivion” was released on June 9, 2023, and is available at the following links:

INCANTATION – Announces New Album, ‘Unholy Deification’ Out August 25th On Relapse Records

‘Concordat (The Pact) I’ Video Now Playing + Preorders Available

Death metal icons INCANTATION will unleash their new album, Unholy Deification, via Relapse Records on August 25th, today revealing the record’s artwork, track listing, preorders, and first single/video!

INCANTATION frontman John McEntee comments, “I’m not interested in playing it safe. I think other people feel that there are limits to what we do. However, I don’t see it that way. If it feels right, then it’s INCANTATION. The songs we write are an honest expression of ourselves. When people hear the new album, I hope they think, ‘Why are these guys so pissed off?!’ Rage gives focus, which is why this album turned out the way it did.”

Watch INCANTATION’s“Concordat (The Pact) I” music video, directed by The C.O.I.N., at THIS LOCATION.

Physical Unholy Deification preorders are available via Relapse.com HERE. Digital downloads/streaming are available HERE.

INCANTATION‘s sepulchral pandemonium is visually enhanced by award-winning artist and longstanding collaborator Eliran Kantor (Immolation, Kreator, Cavalera, and more.) The end result is an interpretation of Italian Renaissance masters but thrust into INCANTATION‘s cauldron of chromatic malice.

Unholy Deification Track Listing:

  1. Offerings (The Swarm) IV
  2. Concordat (The Pact) I
  3. Chalice (Vessel Consanguineous) VIII
  4. Homunculus (Spirit Made Flesh) IX
  5. Invocation (Chthonic Merge) X
  6. Megaron (Sunken Chamber) VI
  7. Convulse (Words Of Power) III
  8. Altar (Unify In Carnage) V
  9. Exile (Defy The False) II
  10. Circle (Eye of Ascension) VII

Edified over three-plus decades of experience, Unholy Deification is INCANTATION’s thirteenth full-length album. Validated by peers seasoned and new, INCANTATION is more vital than ever. The lineup, featuring founding guitarist/vocalist John McEntee, drummer Kyle Severn, bassist Chuck Sherwood, and guitarist Luke Shively, displays death metal know-how and the power of determination.

Lyrically, Unholy Deification originates with Sherwood. An avid reader and occult logician, the INCANTATION bassist wanted to capture a fully realized concept of evolution through enlightenment. Expect thought-provoking, historically derived intellection. The mortal-to-deity narrative interacts with the merciless musical conflagration of hard-hitting tracks such as “Concordat (The Pact) I,” “Homunculus (Spirit Made Flesh) IX,” and “Invocation (Chthonic Merge) X”. Make no mistake – the ferocious new album, featuring guests Jeff Beccera (Possessed), Henry Veggian (ex-Revenant), and Dan Vadim Von (Morbid Angel), is pure death metal.
