PRIMAL FEAR Unveil Fiery New Music Video In Support Of Domination – Second Single “The Hunter” Streaming Now

Less than three months before their new album Domination hits the shelves (September 5, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music), German metal frontrunners PRIMAL FEAR shift up another gear with “The Hunter“. The second single from the record tells a conceived story while it musically sounds the attack for the quintet’s upcoming record.

Being also the opening track of Domination, the track builds up tension with anthemic lead harmonies before bursting drums and guitars break through the idyll to set the tone for another highly melodic piece from PRIMAL FEAR’s musical forge. The single additionally cements the thoroughly positive impression the group left with first single “Far Away”, which saw them introduce their striking new line-up.

“Science fiction scenery, the beast is behind you, it’s me, I’m THE HUNTER, so better watch out, I smell your blood and I’m gonna get you!” warns vocalist Ralf Scheepers grinningly.

Picking up the dystopian theme of the single, director Patric Ullaeus (IN FLAMES, AMARANRATHE, EVERGREY etc.) placed the band — Scheepers, bassist/vocalist Mat Sinner, guitarists Thalìa Bellazecca and Magnus Karlsson, and drummer André Hilgers — in ruined environment to create a ‘metal as f**k’ music video where they find themselves surrounded by hellfire.

INDUCTION – Premiere New Single & Music Video “Beyond Horizons” 

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on June 11, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Right on time for another exciting live adventure, rising symphonic/power metallers INDUCTION have officially released their latest single through Reigning Phoenix Music today. The track titled ‘Beyond Horizons,’ which already celebrated its live premiere during the band’s most recent European tour, will be a part of their forthcoming record, and is their first sonic sign after regrouping themselves in late 2024, resulting in the addition of singer Gabriele Gozzi, guitarist Justus Sahlman and drummer Markus “Maks” Felber.

Also accompanied by a new music video, “Beyond Horizons” impressively shows the wide range of elements INDUCTION’s creative work is driven by: Forcing triplet drumming and riffing, backed by epically flourishing synths and choirs, build the ground of a track that is both profound and jubilant. Empowering melodies and rhythms make “Beyond Horizons” not only an anthem of the warm season and a perfect soundtrack to everyone’s next concert or festival trip. All aboard the INDUCTION train, metalheads, we’re just getting started!

Guitarist Tim Kanoa Hansen comments: “With ‘Beyond Horizons,’ we ring the bell for our long-awaited third album. And I believe it’s a mighty peek for what is to come: a story of love in twisted worlds and destiny. ‘Beyond Horizons’ is the perfect kick-off to show you what we’ve been up to and what to expect. Dive in and enjoy: I’m sure this song will be stuck in your head for quite some time.”

INVINCIA – Release Debut EP The Enemy Within | New Single “Moon” Out Now With Official Video

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on June 7, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

This is a major milestone for Finnish melodic heavy metal band Invincia, as they officially release their debut EP, The Enemy Within, across all digital platforms. At the heart of this powerful 3-track collection is the brand-new single “Moon”, a haunting ballad accompanied by an epic official music video, also out now.

Watch the video of“Moon”: https://youtu.be/IJ_QzCnhikk?si=2w0kWbRptyc_lGjU

Stream the EP The Enemy Within: https://bfan.link/the-enemy-within-EP 

Following the strong impact of their first two singles, “The Enemy Within” and “Act of Insurrection”, the band closes this first chapter with “Moon”, a track that reveals the emotional and atmospheric side of Invincia’s sound. Deeply influenced by the theatrical flair of Savatage and the early prog-metal mysticism of Queensrÿche, the song delivers soaring vocals, melancholic melodies, and an epic build that explodes into a powerful climax.

Tracklist – The Enemy Within EP:
1.The Enemy Within
2.Act of Insurrection
3.Moon

The EP was mixed and mastered by renowned producer Erik Mårtensson (Eclipse, W.E.T.) at Mass Destruction Production, ensuring a rich, polished sound that captures the band’s musical depth and dynamic range.

“It’s a mystic and emotional ballad inspired by the powerful nordic nature and a rich storytelling tradition.” says guitarist and founder Joel Karlsson

Despite being 100% independent, Invincia has already gained early recognition in the Nordic Metal scene, including both first 2 singles in Spotify’s official “Metallia Suomesta” playlist, and a growing global audience. The band’s blend of classic Heavy Metal influence, (Savatage, Helloween, Queensryche, Judas Priest, Dio), with contemporary emotions and storytelling is quickly making them one to watch.

INVINCIA are:
Kenneth Nylund – Lead Vocals
Joel Karlsson – Guitar
Alexander Södergård – Guitar
Jonas Öman – Bass
Mikael Ahlholm – Drums

AGE OF RUIN – Releases Single/Video, “The Ghosts We Carry,” From Forthcoming Nothingman Album

Posted in Metal, metal bands, metal music, metalcore, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on June 7, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Metalcore stalwarts, Age of Ruin, have released “The Ghosts We Carry,” the second single from forthcoming album, Nothingman, on all digital platforms and as an official music video! The track embodies classic Age of Ruin metalcore riffing with a brutally heavy breakdown chorus sing-along. A b-side, non-album track, “Reflections,” accompanies the release of the new single.

The music video for “The Ghosts We Carry,” produced by Pablo Van Winkle, is available at youtu.be/4ZnI3p-w8Ek

Click to the stream the single at the links below:

ageofruin.bandcamp.com/track/the-ghosts-we-carry

open.spotify.com/track/2ni0LDtawBdKGxUkL7fPf1

Stream the b-side track, “Reflections,” on Spotify and Bandcamp.

Nothingman, Age of Ruin’s forthcoming album, is a collection of 10 songs that cuts a path to the heart with harmony and angst that others would be naïve not to mimic. The band sacrificed blood and sweat for two years to expel Nothingman. Age of Ruin began the recording process in October of 2023, and after nine months of tracking on location in Richmond, VA, at the Bakery Studio, in Washington, DC, at Ivakota Studio, and at the Riff Dojo in Takoma Park, MD, (the record was produced by Mike Schleibaum of Darkest Hour), Nothingman was complete. This is the biggest, most richly woven tapestry from the band yet, and the time to unleash it is near.

Line-up:

Benjamin Swan – vocals
Christopher Fleming – bass
Daniel Fleming – guitar
Hendrik Osinga – drums
Casey Flanagan – guitar

In 2023 and 2024, Age of Ruindid some precursory promotion of Nothingman’s material, traveling up and down the east coast, dousing nonbelievers with their fire, with such acts as Black Flag, Madball, Jimmy’s Chicken Shack, and Anvil. Yes, that Anvil.

Ripping guitars, unforgivably brutal drums, bass sounds that have shaken the underworld, and screeching vocals are just the beginning of this incarnation of a true headbanger’s incantation. What we saw unearthed back in 1998 has now grown. The road worn warriors of the AoRmy have forced enough breakdowns to overwhelm any AAA mechanic, with miles on the highway ahead.  

Their punk and metal roots hold firm, and their thrash tendencies are on full display as this towering presence of a band branches out over new tonal terrain and soundscape; reminding all who fall under its shadow, that the light shining through is a new dawn in the Age of Ruin. Nothingman will be celebrated in all formats and on all streaming platforms on October 17.

FFO: In Flames, Soilwork, Killswitch Engage, and Gojira.

Track Listing:

1. The Fixation

2. Heavy is the Crown

3. Lost in Shadows

4. The Traveler

5. Nothingman

6. An Awakening

7. The Ghosts We Carry

8. Promise Me

9. Bleed for Better Days

10. Lovesong

DIRKSCHNEIDER AND THE OLD GANG Release Another Blistering Metal Anthem: “Hellbreaker”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on June 6, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG have released their third single and video, “Hellbreaker” – a thunderous, full-throttle anthem that delivers another fiery preview of their upcoming full-length album, Babylon, due out in October 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music.

With “Hellbreaker” the band pulls no punches, catapulting us straight into true heavy metal! Brutal guitar riffs, bold melodies and a driving power chorus complete the picture.
“Udo growls and screams like there’s no tomorrow, while Manuela’s solo vocals put the icing on the cake towards the end of the song. Mathias’ unorthodox solo guitar work is a real treat for all guitar freaks and in no way inferior to the other highlights,”states the band.

Backed by a cinematic music video, “Hellbreaker” doesn’t just build anticipation, it kicks the doors wide open for what is shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases of the year.

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

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on June 5, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

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

FIRSTBORNE – Release Second Single/Video “Again” | New Album Lucky Out August 8TH via M-Theory Audio

Posted in Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on June 4, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Powerhouse Group Features
Chris Adler, Myrone and Girish Pradhan

Today hard rock and heavy metal powerhouse FIRSTBORNE return with “Again” – the second single from the group’s awaited album. There’s an accompanying lyric video for the track viewable HERE: 

https://youtu.be/sWiTQU-SbJE

“It’s an inner battle… choosing between sinking to their level or rising above the noise. When someone insults you without knowing who you are, it hurts. But the real strength lies in rising above the pettiness and channeling that energy into something greater… growth, purpose, and peace,” explains singer Girish Pradhan.

“Again” will be serviced to commercial/active rock radio and is the first cut off FIRSTBORNE’s new album, Lucky. It follows “Wake Up” which was a welcome introduction to the group’s penchant for infectious hard rock with a humorous and relatable twist, found especially entertaining by the first music video HERE: https://youtu.be/-vgQE4NKgds

The full-length, produced by the renown producer Machine (Clutch, King Crimson, Crobot) will be released on M-Theory Audio on August 8th. It will be available from all digital outlets, as well as on CD and limited-edition (300) amber wave colored vinyl. Pre-order now HERE: https://lnk.to/firstborne 

FIRSTBORNE features legendary drummer Chris Adler (Lamb of God, Megadeth), virtuoso guitarist Myrone (known by some as the originator of soft shred), and electrifying vocalist Girish Pradhan who just performed last night on America’s Got Talent with his other band Girish and the Chronicles: https://www.facebook.com/reel/717507967417196

Formed in 2019, FIRSTBORNE blend high-energy riffs, soaring vocals, and thunderous rhythms to create a modern yet timeless sound rooted in classic metal, hard rock, and shred guitar. The band first gained attention through a series of independently released singles and EPs between 2020 and 2023, showcasing their signature fusion of melody, technical precision, and relentless groove.

Guitarist Myrone explains how the album came together: “When Chris, Girish, and I got connected in 2019 I said my number one goal in life was to get us all in the same room to jam. Four years later not only did we get in the same room, we went to Machine’s barn in Texas for a month to create 10 piping hot metal jams for the whole world to enjoy. I had written around 150 song ideas before stepping in the studio, and we ended up using none of them. What you hear on the record was entirely written and recorded in Texas.” 

With Adler’s iconic drumming, Myrone’s signature guitar work, and Pradhan’sdynamic, powerhouse vocals, FIRSTBORNE are a force to be reckoned with in the hard rock and metal scene; delivering high-energy anthems that bridge the gap between old-school metal and modern intensity.

5RAND have officially signed with Art Gates Records for the release of their upcoming third album. This new alliance marks a significant step forward in the band’s evolution, as they continue to refine their signature blend of modern heaviness and cinematic atmosphere.

To celebrate the signing, the band has unveiled a brand-new single,“The Nihilist”, featuring Milofrom Fear Factory. The track delivers a fierce mix of punishing riffs, industrial undertones, and emotionally raw vocals, accompanied by a powerful music video that explores themes of identity loss and psychological inversion. “The Nihilist” offers a first glimpse into the darker, more introspective sound of their forthcoming record, due out in November 2025.

Watch “The Nihilist” HERE.

Hailing from Rome, Italy, 5RAND builds on a punishing modern metal foundation, layered with the cinematic depth of melodic death metal, creating an intense and emotionally immersive soundscape. Fronted by the dynamic dual vocals of Julia Elenoir, shifting seamlessly from visceral growls to haunting clean melodies, the band has carved out a distinctive place in the modern metal scene.

Founded by Pierluigi Carocci (guitar), Acey Guns (bass), Andrea De Carolis (drums), and Elenoir (vocals), 5RAND first made waves with their debut Sacred/Scared, followed by the critically acclaimed Dark Mother. The band has since toured extensively across Europe, sharing the stage with iconic acts such as Dark Tranquillity, Vader, Butcher Babies, Infected Rain, and many others.

In 2025, 5RAND will unveil their most ambitious work to date, a bold new album mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, featuring a powerful guest appearance by the new Fear Factory vocalist, Milo Silvestro. This upcoming release signals a sonic evolution: darker, more introspective, and conceptually daring.

The band’s name, drawn from a chance encounter with a shaman and a South African 5 Rand coin, symbolizes unexpected paths and transformative experiences. Their music explores themes of identity, emotional detachment, philosophy, and human resilience, all woven together through a multidisciplinary artistic vision that spans both sound and visuals.

Line-up:

Julia Elenoir – Voice
Pierluigi Carocci – Guitar
Acey Guns – Bass
Andrea De Carolis – 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

CROP Announces New Album S.S.R.I – Out On August 22 via Third House Communications | First Single “Alone” Out Now

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on May 29, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Stream “Alone” Here: https://youtu.be/lybNskWbQm0

Lexington, KY’s heaviest export, CROP, has announced the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album S.S.R.I, due out August 22, 2025 via Third House Communications. Alongside the announcement, the band has dropped the album’s first single, “Alone” – a soul-crushing breakup song that cuts deeper than heartbreak and settles into the kind of emotional void that never really closes.

“Alone” is a brutal meditation on what it means to lose someone twice; once in the relationship, and again in the realization that their presence offered no real solace. 

Backed by thunderous guitars, unrelenting drums, and vocals that walk the line between raw power and quiet devastation, “Alone” captures the emotional core of S.S.R.I; an album steeped in grief, clarity, and the jagged edge of survival. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jason Groves, S.S.R.I builds on the massive sound CROP introduced with their self-titled 2021 debut, and dives even further into the chaos of identity, loss, and mental disintegration.

Stream “Alone” Here: https://youtu.be/lybNskWbQm0

The seven-track record features emotionally heavy tracks like “Formaldehyde,” “10-56,” and “Break,” and pairs crushing riffs with deeply introspective lyrics, reflecting the band’s evolution from local underground staple to national force.

Known for their blistering live shows and rising reputation in the doom and heavy grunge scenes, CROP has performed at Maryland Doom Fest, RPM Fest, and shared stages with WEEDEATER, CONAN, REZN, BONGZILLA and more. With S.S.R.I, the band delivers not just an album, but a fully immersive psychological and sonic experience.

S.S.R.I – Track Listing: 

  1. “Flatline” – 1:00
  2. “Formaldehyde” – 5:57
  3. “Goddamn” – 6:37
  4. “10-56” – 6:22
  5. “Alone” – 7:02
  6. “Breath” – 1:06
  7. “Break” – 6:24

CROP:

  • Marc Phillips – Vocals
  • Zach Hunter – Guitar
  • Braun Dabney – Bass
  • Andrew Beauvier – Drums

For CROP, the music is a confrontation, a refusal to look away from the darkest corners of life, and an insistence that even pain deserves to be heard at full volume.

Feast Upon BLOOD VULTURE’s New Single “Grey Mourning” (Feat. AFI’s Jade Puget)

Posted in gothic metal, gothic rock, Hard Rock, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on May 26, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Debut Album, Die Close, Out June 27th Via Pure Noise Records

“GREY MOURNING” MUSIC VIDEO:
https://youtu.be/Q2F-BIxuFSE

Gothic sludge night stalker, BLOOD VULTURE, created by Jordan Olds (2 Minutes To Late Night), has revealed the 2nd single, “Grey Mourning” (Featuring Jade Puget of AFI), from the upcoming debut album, Die Close, that will be release June 27th via Pure Noise Records.

Commenting on the song, Olds states: 

“When I was in middle school, AFI was my gateway to punk, hardcore, and goth. Jade Puget specifically was probably the biggest influence on my guitar playing and songwriting in that very formative time in my life. He’s such a melodic and unique player, and “Grey Mourning” is just a barrage of chromatic death metal riffs, so I thought it would be a really fun juxtaposition to set him loose in that kind of space and see what he came up with. I was honored that he agreed to do it, and his solo is so cool and unpredictable. It was exactly what I wanted.

In my freshman year of highschool, I snagged a black Les Paul studio because I saw him playing one in the Leaving Song Pt. II video and that’s actually the same guitar that I used to mimic his solo for the video. So this whole thing has been a wild full circle moment for me. Oh yeah, and the song is about vampires.“

The the impending debut Die Close, BLOOD VULTURE lures listeners in with a mesmerizing melding of gothic romanticism, lush metallic vibes and brutal reckoning. The record features luminary guests Jade Puget (AFI), Kristin Hayter (Lingua Ignota) and Brian Fair (Shadows Fall).

About BLOOD VULTURE:

This is the story of a vampire known as “The Blood Vulture.”  A once-insatiable bloodthirsty abomination of a creature, he is now a recluse long locked away as he grapples with what it means to live forever in a world of impermanence. His tales of regret and grief and terror will be told from hereon through songs that meld the emotive vocal stylings of grunge’s golden era with death metal, goth rock, and doom metal.

DEVS MORTVORVM – Chilean Death-Doom Cult Unveils “Orgy In The Graveyard” Single | The Oldest Crypt EP Out Soon

Posted in doom metal, doom metal music, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on May 25, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Artwork by Julián Mora

Stream “Orgy in the Graveyard” HERE.

Chilean death-doom cult DEVS MORTVORVM have unveiled the second taste of their upcoming EP with the brand new single “Orgy in the Graveyard”, now streaming exclusively via a premiere at Mystification Zine. Drenched in decay and driven by the band’s signature blend of cavernous doom and old-school death metal, this track sets the tone for what promises to be a truly morbid release.

From its lumbering riffs to its sepulchral growls, “Orgy in the Graveyard” drags listeners deep into the crypt, offering a glimpse of the rotting majesty that awaits on June 6, 2025, when the full EP drops via Apocalyptic Productions.

Stream “Orgy In The Graveyard” HERE.

Formed in 2015 by David Briones (guitar) and Claudio Carrasco (vocals), DEVS MORTVORVM emerged with a clear mission: to play Graveyard Doom Death, inspired by legendary acts such as Goatlord, Derketa, early Cathedral and Autopsy. The band is now completed by Andrés Henríquez on drums and Felipe Vuletich on bass, bringing even more weight and rot to their already imposing sound.

This upcoming EP features five tracks, three original compositions, a crushing cover of “Acid Orgy” by U.S. cult legends Goatlord, and a raw live track that captures the band’s visceral stage presence. Every aspect of this release, the lyrics, artwork, and music is a unified expression of DEVS MORTVORVM’s devotion to the morbid spirit of doom-death and necrolatry.

Musically, the EP offers an enticing blend of shadow-drenched, vicious death-doom, where sludgy riffs clash and intertwine with serpentine melodies, creating a dynamic tension that keeps each track unpredictable and alive. It’s a masterclass in sonic decay, where every note drips with the dampness of the tomb.

Track-list:

  1. Orgy in the Graveyard
  2. Love for the Dead
  3. The Oldest Crypt
  4. Acid Orgy (Goatlord cover)
  5. Orgy in the Graveyard (live)

Recorded between july 2023 and september 2024 at Black Sheep Studios.
All Music composed by David Briones except “Acid Orgy” by Goatlord.
Lyrics and vocal lines by Claudio Carrasco except “Acid Orgy” by Goatlord.
Live track recorded at MiBar 20/12/2024

DRAWN AND QUARTERED – Legendary Death Metal Masters Announce Ninth Full-Length Album: Lord of Two Horns

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

Relentless and unwavering, DRAWN AND QUARTERED return to desecrate all that is holy with the release of their brand-new full-length album, Lord of Two Horns, set to drop in LP, CD and MC format on June 27th, 2025 via Nuclear Winter Records.

True standard bearers of the most vile and uncompromising American death metal, the Seattle based horde have spent decades defying trends, weathering every storm the underground could throw at them, only to emerge more savage and resolute than ever.

The first single “Black Castle Butcher” is now streaming HERE.

Lord of Two Horns delivers eight tracks and 34 minutes of unfiltered DRAWN AND QUARTERED carnage: a maelstrom of blast-driven violence, suffocating atmosphere, and riff work sharp enough to flay flesh from bone. While doom-laden passages and crypt born melodies still lurk within the shadows, the prevailing force is one of unhinged ferocity; this is death metal crafted to maim, forged in fire and performed with malicious intent.

Track-list:

  1. Black Castle Butcher
  2. Zealous Depopulation
  3. Lord of Two Horns
  4. Into the Mouth of the Dead
  5. Three Rivers of Poison (Blasphemous Persecution)
  6. Grimoire of Blood
  7. The Devil’s Work Is Never Done
  8. Mass Grave Curse

Line-up:

Kelly Shane Kuciemba – lead & rhythm guitars
Herb Burke – bass guitar & vocals
Simon Dorfman – drums & percussion
Brandon Corsair – guitar

Recorded over various periods in 2023-2024 at Plague Pit by guitarist Kelly Shane Kuciemba (with drums recorded by Chris Mannino at Die Burning Studios), mixed and mastered by Loïc Fontaine for Krucyator Productions, Lord of Two Horns sees DRAWN AND QUARTERED deliver their signature early 90s influenced death metal darkness with more speed and brutality than ever before.
