We’re proud and excited to seal an unholy pact with Portland OR black/death metal/grind terror commando Disimperium, as we prepare the release of their upcoming pulverizing debut EP “Malefic Obliteration”.
Featuring members of Misrule and Ascended Dead, on "Malefic Obliteration" Dismperium discharge a blinding assault of feral and merciless sonic devastation that will leave the listener crushed and disintegrated in its path. With an impenetrably dark and ultra-violent sound reminiscent of blackened death and grind war mongers like Knelt Rote, Diocletian and Heresiarch, Dismperium tap into a mysterious realm of terror to harness the quintessence of chaos and negativity, condensing years of influences and concepts into a twelve-minute terrorscape of absolute sonic tyranny.
To coincide with the EP’s announcement, the work’s self-titled opening track has been unveiled by legendary metal magazine Decibel Magazine, who in commenting the the song’s inhuman brutality have remarked that “Disimperium are a whirlwind of blackened death metal with a shot of grinding aggression, nearly pushing the sound over the sonic line into war metal territory.” and that “The EP’s title track is a perfect example of what to expect from Malefic Obliteration, taking the aforementioned sound and adding a layer of noise; the only time the listener is given a respite from the explosion of distorted riffs and blast beats is when a layer of fuzzy noise briefly takes over the song.” - you can listen to the track and check out the full feature HERE.
Track list:
1. Malefic Obliteration

Disimperium have been in some way linked to Sentient Ruin even far before their existence. The band’s origins can be traced back to the grindcore solo project Misrule, by East Coast native and now Oregon-based multi-instrumentalist and visual artist S. Mahoney. Misrule emerged in 2018 with its debut demo tape “Forced to Suffer”, issued by Sentient Ruin to positive reviews in the wake of its ferocious and unrelenting aural attack. The success of “Forced to Suffer” lead Mahoney to seek out live members to expand the project’s scope of action beyond his home studio. This lead to a string of local musicians to be briefly involved until members of Ascended Dead and of other local extreme metal bands came in contact with the project, and the union pushed the premises into a darker and even more violent territory which prompted everyone involved to start fresh with a new name and project that would take on a life and sound of its own. The original grindcore influences coming from Knelt Rote and Vermin Womb were thus completed and enhanced by other elements inspired by black and death metal bands like Adversarial, Archgoat, and Impetuous Ritual, which lead the forging of Disimperium’s dark and inhuman aural weapon of total mass extermination.
“Malefic Obliteration” will be officially released on July 23 2021 via Sentient Ruin Worldwide on LP/MC and digital formats, accompanied by a limited edition long sleeve shirt, and all products are now pre-orderable on our webshop and Bandcamp profile.
