We’re very excited to announce the debut self-titled album by emerging East Coast chaos-mongering warnoise terrorists Sulfuric Hatred (formed by vocalist Alexander Jones of Undeath, guitarist/bassist Liam McMahon of Vile Ritual, and Sam Shereck of Stabbed, Exsanguinated, Bowel Erosion, Blame God, ex-Pink Mass, ex-Reeking Aura etc. ), scheduled for a December 15 release on LP, MC, CD, and digital formats worldwide via Sentient Ruin.
The cataclysmic debut offering has been teased by always attentive music blog Machine Music, who in premiering the song “Foul Poison Insatiable” have remarked how the release represents “one of the best, most ferocious death metal albums of the year.“ - you can read the feature and check out the song HERE.
The self-titled Sulfuric Hatred album brings a new meaning and purpose to the concept of dehumanizing music and of its forced transmutation into a weapon. Bringing the listener to their knees to surrender, succumb and dissolve before the omnipotency and immensity of absolute armageddon, across its elven tracks and thirty four minutes of musical terrorism, Sulfuric Hatred experiment on human senses the limits and effects of complete audial insanity. Black metal, grindcore, and death metal in this context can be used as nothing more than simplistic references for the sake of generalization, as the actual and true fabric really materializing this abomination is something that can hardly be associated to music and which is actually closer to pure noise, to other forms of experimental sensorial warfare or to abstract idealizations of pure terror. An underlying contradiction that can not be overlooked defines this senseless display of audial savagery: where in most bands and subgenera of extreme music an antihuman aspect is sought out musically, in the case of Sulfuric Hatred, the formula of bass, guitar, drums and vocals is actually the last human thing standing. The incessant carpet-bombing blasting, the ear-splitting screams, and the mangled, chaotic guitar carnage, in the chaos-torn world of Sulfuric Hatred are nothing but the last shred of humanity left. Everything else being engulfed and devoured in this blown out, noise-broken abomination, is the embodiment of absolute, abstract, and conceptual antihuman bedlam.
Sulfuric Hatred formed in late 2021 from the dismal imagination of guitarist/bassist Liam McMahon (Vile Ritual), and vocalist Alexander Jones (Undeath), who had envisioned a weaponized form of audio terrorism inspired by black/death metal bands like Angelcorpse, Blasphemy and Conqueror, but with an augmented load of ruin brought forth by their parallel interest in powerviolence and industrial noise. The duo set out to create a debut demo to test their ideas, which materialized as the 2022 "Demo MMXXII" cassette tape released via Transylvanian Recordings. This release cemented the duo's vision and ambition to explore their war-mongering creation further, so drummer Sam Shereck (of Stabbed, Exsanguinated, Bowel Erosion, Blame God, ex-Pink Mass, ex-Reeking Aura etc.) was brought on board to free the band of the studio-only environment and transform it into free-raging weapon of mass annihilation that could decimate stages and assume a more dynamic and self-sustained band form. This new lineup as a trio found immediate alchemy and set out to write and record their official self-titled debut album released by Sentient Ruin in late 2023, an ear-splitting cauldron of noise-ravaged black/death metal terror compounded from pure chaos and spread across eleven tracks and over thirty six minutes of cataclysmic audial warfare.
