We’re honored to partake in the wretched birth of “The Tides of Blood”, the debut LP by Vancouver BC-based horrendous death metal deformity Ceremonial Bloodbath, a band set to push death metal to the most horrifying outer limits of unspeakable aural repulsiveness. The wretched LP is scheduled for an October 23 2020 release on cassette tape, vinyl and digital, and all formats (featuring the artwork of Tim Grieco of Revenge, Antediluvian etc.) can be pre-ordered now on our store and Bandcamp.
No Clean Singing has given the first introduction to this complete sonic abomination with an exclusive unveiling of the track “Primitive”, stating that “the album is startling in the degree to which it plumbs the toxic depths of death metal darkness and dementia, and in its ability to discharge sonic sickness and chaos with such fiendishly ingenious calculation and such cleverly sadistic flourishes.“ - you can read the awesome full article and stream the track HERE.
“The Tides of Blood” is a long awaited and highly anticipated debut full length album of abhorrent and malformed dark death metal twilight and of complete sonic torment emanating from a place of utter wretchedness and abandon. With its members coming from established VC BC bands like Scum Division Cult, Nightfucker, Encoffinate, Radioactive Vomit, Grave Infestation, Mass Grave, Temple of Abandonment and Deathwinds, Ceremonial Bloodbath is an unholy coalition of some of Vancouver BC's most established and experienced musicians, who have come together to forge the most darkened, demented and hideous strain of bastard death metal they could fathom, taking cues from bands like Blasphemy, Sarcófago, Mystifier, Beherit, Archgoat, Vassafor, Mortician, Deicide etc. and blurring the sum of their influences into a sonic monstrosity devoid of any sanity or shape. Both extremely primitive and regressed, but highly unpredictable and experimental, Ceremonial Bloodbath's death metal is a place in which reference points and familiarity are nihl and set against the odds of complete insanity and chaos. With its barbaric riffs twisted and bent out of shape, its schizoid leads and diseased atmospheres, and an execution delivered with complete barbarism and deformity, Ceremonial Bloodbath have created one of the most inverted, hallucinogenic, crepuscular, and inhuman death metal absurdities that you will hear all year.
“Born beneath a black hole. Callers of nuclear Armageddon. From beyond, decipherers of the unnameable sickness. Driven mad by unholy flute and war drums of a sadistic deity. Mindless automatons, blind worship. Fornicators and abusers of dirt and moral filth. Desecrators of the holy man's moral oasis and extractors of perverse soul.”
