Tag Death Metal

Rebranded to reflect the increasingly disturbing and disgustingly heavy nature of their music, Cranial Bleeding have now morphed into the twisted Purulent Necrosis – and Purulent Necrosis are ready to unveil their terrifying debut album, Cadaverized Humanity, an unrelenting assault on the senses.

The standard terms for defining extreme music are simply inadequate to describe the horrific onslaught of tracks like ‘Throne Of Carnage’. These blood-chilling outbursts of inhuman depravity go beyond the normal barriers of acceptability even for brutal death metal. Purulent Necrosis are beyond ‘heavy’, beyond ‘extreme’ and Cadaverized Humanity attacks like a hammer-wielding lunatic from start to finish. The rusted riffs that form the warped exoskeleton of ‘Calculated Acts Of Retribution’ must surely be the product of warped minds and the bestial vocals of Justin Downs are barely recognisable as human. This is not a listening experience; it’s a test of your endurance and your sanity, a trip into the abyss, the foulest recesses of human depravity.

Line-up: 
Justin Downs – Vocals
Blake Scott – Guitars
Steve Green – Guitars
Matthew Green – Drums
Jason Keating – Bass
 

Like handing knives to monstrous predators, Comatose Music have recklessly agreed to release Purulent Necrosis’ insane violence into the world on November 1st. From that date Cadaverized Humanity will be lurking in the cellars and alleyways of your town, waiting hungrily for blood. Indiscriminate killing on an unprecedented scale is sure to follow.

Genre: Brutal Death Metal
For fans of: Devourment | Skinless | Internal Bleeding | Guttural Secrete

HORRIFIC DEMISE – EXCRUCIATING EXTERMINATION
LABEL: COMATOSE MUSIC
RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 6th 2019

In the boundless kingdom of hell there are featureless corridors that run from sunrise to sunset, lined with doorways beyond counting. Each corridor is the same and each doorway identical, but those indistinguishable doors all open upon endlessly unique expressions of torment; myriad agonies beyond comprehension and eternal punishments to baffle the mind. Behind the obsidian gates lurk atrocities beyond the wildest dreams of evil men; the limitless exploration of the possibilities of pain, the numberless ways to dissect, reconstruct and tear apart… the eternal refinement of the art of excruciating extermination!

The debut album from Horrific Demise, Excruciating Extermination, has been long years in the making. The band has lived in the mind of guitarist/vocalist Matt Bishop since 2005, squirming and fermenting in the charnel pits of his subconscious, hunting and feeding in the labyrinth of his fantasies. While Horrific Demise grew in the darkness Matt made his name in the brutal death metal scene, spending ten years carving out the blood-soaked riffs for Lividity. But Horrific Demise could not be kept constrained forever… A meeting with guitarist Tony Tipton (Necrotic Disgorgement, Regurgitation) in 2013 breathed new life into the beast and the first Horrific Demise songs began to form. Over the next five years more darkly creative souls were drawn into the shadowy world of Horrific Demise: drummer Kyle Christman (Gorgasm, Sarcophagy) and bassist Phil Good (Necrotic Disgorgement, Created To Kill etc) adding their considerable talents. The search for the perfect voice to articulate the horrors of the band’s songs proved harder though, with several brutal vocalists trying out for the position, but somehow not capturing that perfect nightmarish vibe. Then, when Anthony Voight (Gorgasm, Sarcophagy) grabbed the mic and unleashed his inhuman roar the elite team was instantly complete. Now their work is done and the time has come for Excruciating Extermination to be unleashed! From the breathtaking initial attack of ‘Born From Brutality’ Excruciating Extermination carries you on a wild ride through Hell’s chambers of despair. Riff is piled upon monstrous riff and razor-wire solos slice, gleaming, through the crimson filth. This is not just another album of brutality; this is the stunning product of years of experience and musical aptitude, the realisation of dark dreams and long held ambition. 

“If anyone can say they’ve done their Reign In Blood, this is mine. If I didn’t do one more album after this, I’d be cool with that.” – Matt Bishop on the Murder Metal Mayhem Podcast

With the power of Comatose Music behind them Horrific Demise will spread their tales of Excruciating Extermination to every corner of the metal world. This album, this band, this label – they are all undeniable. Nothing will stand in their way. Prepare to be exterminated!

Line-up: 
Matt Bishop – Guitars
Anthony Voight – Vocals
Tony Tipton – Guitars
Kyle Christman – Drums
Phil Good – Bass

Genre: Death Metal
For fans of: Incantation | Immolation | Suffocation | Lividity

TYRMFAR – RENEWAL THROUGH PURIFICATION
LABEL: MTAF RECORDS
RELEASE DATE: JUNE 22nd 2019

In an age of chaos, an age of grief, the lost and the broken remnants of humanity swarm beneath the condemning gaze of dark gods. A thousand individual tragedies are played out unseen in the mass of screaming, bleeding, desperate souls; each one insignificant to those who have come to judge and dispense justice. Collectively mankind has been found wanting and the sentence is annihilation. An unspoken moment arrives and the vast tableau falls silent, the last second of existence for a doomed species and then unimaginable power is unleashed…the purification has begun.

Those steps towards destruction, that last held breath and then the explosion of a soul-scorching firestorm is encapsulated perfectly in the opening two tracks of Tyrmfar’s gargantuan Renewal Through Purification. The grandiose, portentous notes of ‘The Arrival…’ bring the promise of stories to be told, of vast, black clouds gathering and filling the endless skies – and then, after a fraction of a second where utter terror floods the mind, ‘…Of The Legions Of Eternity’ is upon you! The endless thunder of the drums obliterates the silence and black majesty, wild power held within a steel grip, descends. Yet Tyrmfar are about so much more than simple domination, as remarkable emotion burns between the towering ramparts of brute force riffs. Melodies steeped in loss and pain weave their way through the overwhelming avalanche of destruction – holding you hypnotised, captivated even as your inevitable doom crashes towards you.  

Hailing from the mountains of Switzerland, Tyrmfar’s story began in 2013 and their ascent has been a rapid one. Their first release was the 2015 EP, In The Depths Of A Dark Spirit which was followed in 2017 by the superb Human Abomination album – hailed by Daily Rock as “bloody and invigorating”. The band were soon playing major European festivals like the massive Metal Days event and performing with giants of extreme music like Krisiun; nor were they out of place on such bills with Daily Rock naming them “artists who can shake the most seasoned headliners of extreme music festivals.” All that experience has now been poured into the creation of their game-changing second album, Renewal Through Purification. This collection of breathtaking songs, due out in June through MTAF Records is a magnificent fusion of the atmosphere of black metal and the power of death metal. This is Tyrmfar announcing themselves as true contenders on the world stage, ready to carve their bloody path to the throne.

Tyrmfar are coming…prepare to be judged. 

Line-up: 
Robin – Vocals
Mickael – Guitar
Kévin – Guitar
Julien – Bass
Quentin – Drums

Genre: Melodic Black/Death Metal
For fans of: Kataklysm | Immortal | God Seed | Nile

Nile: Those Whom The Gods Detest

Combining absolutely brutal technical death metal with lyrical themes of Ancient Egyptian and H.P. Lovecraft influence, South Carolina’s Nile released the crushing Those Whom The Gods Detest in 2009.

Led by vocalist/guitarist Karl Sanders, Nile create a wall of intense velocity, power, and intelligence, with blistering speed and precision.

Song titles give some clues to the depth of immersion into the Egyptian style that Sanders has obviously researched with an academic’s eye for detail…Yezd Desert Ghul Ritual In The Abandoned Towers Of Silence, Kafir!, The Eye Of Ra, Utterances Of The Crawling Dead, Permitting The Noble Dead To Descend To The Underworld, Iskander Dhul Karnon, and 4th Arra Of Dagon.

I saw Nile and Behemoth both perform at the 2007 Ozzfest and both bands literally converted me to Death Metal that day.

The mixture of technique, power, passion, and utter brutality just finally made sense to me.

Before, I had always struggled with the “death growl” vocal style, but seeing death metal properly performed by two masterful bands of the most extreme nature I had ever witnessed was all it took.

Cattle Decapitation: The Harvest Floor

Extreme metal with a conscience and a cause? Look no further than Cattle Decapitation, a death/grindcore band who protest the mistreatment and consumption of animals, as well as abuse of the environment.

Their 2009 album, The Harvest Floor, features cover artwork showing human beings being herded towards a slaughterhouse. Cattle Decapitation’s music is itself a slaughtering force of violent sounds that pummel the listener as vocalist Travis Ryan tortures his vocal chords while conjuring inhuman sounds out of his bionic larynx.

Near the end of the album, the title track emerges as an eerily calm musical passage accompanied by mournful vocal tones and seeming to accompany the final walk to the house of death. It is probably my favorite track on the album, but the rest of the brutality is pure awesome carnage from the beginning to the end.

Cannibal Corpse: Live Cannibalism

With a name that has become synonymous with their chosen genre (death metal), Cannibal Corpse is a band best appreciated in the live arena.

CC released their first live album, the perfectly named Live Cannibalism, in 2000 featuring a collection of their finest and most descriptive song titles: Hammer Smashed Face, The Spine Splitter, Blowtorch Slaughter, Fucked With A Knife, A Skull Full Of Maggots, Devoured By Vermin, Meat Hook Sodomy…I could literally go on and on…Cannibal Corpse deliver the brutality in a relentless wave of blast beats, roaring guttural vocals (George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher in his glory), and scalding flesh guitar leads.

If you’re looking for peace & quiet and sensitivity, don’t look here. Cannibal Corpse is for us warriors, and I am stoked they will be with Slayer for their farewell swing through my home state of Indiana in a few months.
